Based on this sneak peek, I already know I’m going to have the worst book hangover from Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, just like I did with Addie LaRue. I love it already.

Vampires are back and omg I need so much more! The dual timelines in this story are a bit jarring from the beginning, but I'm sure I will adjust as the story continues. Julia Whelan's audiobook narration is forever a favorite, impressively showcasing intense emotion and vocal acting that really brings the story to life. I am 100% a vampire girlie, and as a fan of VE Schwab, I am soo excited to read the entirety of this book! This sneak peak wasn't nearly enough! The setting and world building is visceral and I'm excited to see things tie together! I love that we get some cultural diversity in this book, and I think it adds to the story! I am getting similar vibes to The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. The sapphic longing is VIBRANT. I love feminine rage books and so far, this is giving just enough to keep me on my toes. Excited for the release!!

This was a 2 hour sneak peek of this books and i desperately need the full audiobook asap 😭 amazing so far!

Wow! I really wasn’t hyped up too much about this book but this audiobook sneak peek just changed my outlook completely!

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil follows three women and their life stories, and oh yes…they’re vampires. In this short preview of the first 12 chapters we learn Maria is newly married, loathes her husband and in laws, never wants to be a mother, and seeks a life of rich freedom. Alice is attending university in Boston after leaving her home in Scotland. She’s under the impression she takes up too much space in the world, her self doubt is massive but she finds indulgence in a violet haired girl one night at a party. Lottie is that girl and while we don’t get much about her in this preview the little we do is intriguing.

Look, sapphic vampires is already an intriguing premise but this audio narration just really pulled me in and didn’t let me go. I’m such a fan of all three of these narrators. Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin were all just simply perfect, the accents the inflections and tones ugh I want to listen to them forever!

I will definitely be purchasing a copy of this audiobook on release day, I must experience the rest of this story! Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for this ALC Sneek Peek in exchange for an honest review!

This Sneak Peek is only making me want to read this book more!!! The audio narration is wonderful, the story is rich and sultry and I want more! I cannot wait for this one to be released in full so I can devour it.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for access to the Sneak Peek ALC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed listening to this sampler. Although I found the various voice actors interesting as a way to lend perspective on the various characters I found it frustrating that I had to keep adjusting the speed due to the Scottish accent in some parts. This is audiobook is best enjoyed at 1x or 1.25 speed but I prefer to listen faster. I felt the sample chapters stopped at a random spot but I would continue on with the story if I received a full arc.

This sneak peek! I'm floored and need more. All the audiobook narrators are fantastic. Addictive multiple plot lines over different time periods, wonderful prose; I'm so curious to see if/how these ladies will cross paths. Already rooting for the fall of a few folks, fingers crossed we get some female rage revenge for them. My bi panic is panicking in the best way.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for this audiobook sneak peek. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is one of my most anticipated reads of the year. This preview only made me more excited to read and experience the whole book. V. E. Schwab’s writing is so atmospheric and captivating, I love the introduction to the three characters of Maria, Alice and Lottie, and I can’t wait to find out how their stories unfold!

Absolutely FABULOUS! Everything I had hoped for and more and I am even more ecstatic to read this in full ESPECIALLY with audio when it releases. The writing is hauntingly beautiful and flows just like Addie’s book. I loved getting the narrator from Addie and the second voice is absolutely able to match that energy. I devoured this sneak peek and have ZERO critique, it’s masterfully narrated with timing that matches the prose. The world is easy to step into and investment in it was immediate for me. Lovers of Addie will not be able to put this down! What a joy to have that feeling again I only get from Addie, but in a fresh, new and exciting world I am dying to unpack! For me this will be a must read in audio, it’s just so alive!

Thank you so much for this sneak preview V.E. Schwab, Macmillain Audio, and NetGalley

This is going to be so good! Thank you so much for the sneak peak. The narrators did a fabulous job. I love the Addie LaRue vibes! Ugh I don't want to wait til June!

i will preface this by saying i've only read addie larue. however, this sneak peek makes me so excited to read the full novel next month following along with my audiobook while reading my physical copy. more specifically, the first couple of chapters set up the ways in which women accept the gender roles forced upon them and because this feels like a slower paced novel, all the little cracks make the character's starting arc so intriguing. can't wait and especially love that julia whelan is a narrator on this as she's my favorite.

I knew to have high expectations, this preview has me so excited to read this book!!! Schwab knows how to build beautiful imagery, deep characters, and awe inducing storylines! I know this book wont disappoint! Thank you for the preview!

This sneak peek has me so pumped and excited to read this story, and even more excited to listen to the audio. The narrator is setting a perfect vibe that I can’t wait to get lost into! June 10th cannot come soon enough.

Ok well this was a brilliant idea - releasing just the first 12 chapters of the audiobook - because now I need to hear the rest. I was unsure about this book at first, when I read reviews of the ebook. But this has sold me.

The narrators do a beautiful job. I consumed it as soon as I could!

Thank you Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the ALC, I can't wait for the full audiobook to release!

The only bad thing about this book is that it's a preview and I am feral for the rest of it! I can't wait to pick it up on release and the narrator did a fantastic job!

Audiobook sample of the first 13 chapter provided by Netgalley and Macmillan audio, very much appreciated! Already loving this story from my NYCC arc and i think the audio book is excellent. The choice to use a different narrator for each character works really well here and really helps the story come alive. I think these were great choice to fit the gothic lyrical tone of this story! Full review to come once I finish the book! So far 5 stars

I never knew that I needed a book about toxic lesbian vampires in my life.

This review is only for the first 12 chapters, but I can certainly confirm that I am hooked! I absolutely love the three separate narrators for each main character. I usually have a hard time with female narrators, however each of these women have done beautifully from what I've heard so far.

I can confirm that I instantly had to run to preorder a physical copy and will absolutely be continuing with the audiobook when it's out.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil weaves together three timelines: 1532 Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain; 1827 London, England; and 2019 Boston, MA. Maria feels like a pawn in the chess games of men; when presented with a chance, she’ll brave the danger of men she doesn’t know than the pain of the ones she does. Charlotte’s mistakes earn her a one-way trip to London, but freedom might not turn out all it’s cracked up to be. Meanwhile, Alice is on a search for answers about her past (and revenge, while she’s at it).

“This is a story about life—how it ends, and how it starts.”

Schwab is a master of description; the writing is immersive. You can visualize the setting to the point that you can *feel* it. This sneak peek did EXACTLY what it intended to do; it gives just enough line to hook the reader and have them setting a clock counting down to release day.

As for the audiobook, this is incredible narration work by an experienced cast. Their accents add layers to the story in a way that has convinced me I need to listen to the audiobook in its entirety upon release. That's the power of a great audio performance, to add to the text in such a way that it becomes a part of the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advance review audio sneak peak!

Omg, I listened to a sample of the first 12 chapters and I can already tell this will be a 5 star read. I loved Addie Larue and this gives the exact same vibes. The writing style of VE Schwab is exquisite. I love her prose and how she approaches a story. It just sucks me into the world building and storyline so quickly.

i was already very excited for the release of bury our bones in the midnight soil, but after listening to this sneak peek i'm even more excited!
the narration and the narrators all sound phenomenal, they really bring v.e. schwab's characters to life. i'm definitely getting the full audiobook once it's out!
～thank you to macmillan audio for the sampler!
