I can't really say much since it's only a small portion of the book but SO FAR SO GOOD!!! I'm insanely excited for the release.

This sneak peak of the first 12 chapters was amazing! The narrators are incredible - they did such a great job capturing the characters and fleshing out the story. I was so captivated by it that I couldn’t believe I had already reached the end of the sample. I’m so excited to continue the story with my physical ARC, but definitely wishing I could read along to the audio. I’ll just have to re-read with the audiobook when it’s released!

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this ALC sample!

This preview immediately pulled me in with its haunting prose and dark, gothic atmosphere. I’m completely intrigued by the two girls and how their lives—separated by centuries—are bound together through love, rage, and something far more mysterious. Schwab’s writing is rich and immersive, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the book to see how their stories unfold and ultimately collide.

Only 12 Chapters in and I am already obsessed. I don’t know who’s pov I prefer - quiet Alice who for a night breaks out of her shell of overthinking, Maria spirited and yearning for independence forced into a marriage with a man she could care less about, or Charlotte who only lets herself keep a memory of connection never pushing for more. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

The narrator is absolutely incredible, I definitely plan to listen to the rest of this book when it is published. Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ARC sneak peak.

I ate this up! The narrators were all to die for, and the writing had me hooked immediately! It was almost criminal to list only a sample of this! I can't wait to finish this when it comes out!

This is the first Schwab book I have read(listened) to. I really enjoyed the way the timelines of the characters were laid out. It was very easy to follow and great to know the characters. I felt like I was seeing the story through the characters eyes, it was grippingly clear. I enjoyed the fact that there was not a lot of big plots but it was filled with emotion. I enjoyed it.

Can’t wait for the whole book! Sounds super interesting and intriguing. The writing is good. The characters are intriguing and well rounded. Can’t wait for the rest of the book.

loved it!! can’t wait for the entire book! i love the premise and characters so far! schwab’s writing is always so immersive and captivating!

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for this ALC sneak peak (first 12 chapters) of V. E. Schwab’s new book in audio format.

This has left me wanting more! I have had V. E. Schwab books on my TBR for awhile now and this has not only convinced me to start one ASAP but that I will also need to purchase this book when it is released.

I love the writing style and the narrators are fantastic, I felt completely immersed in this world and was gasping and giving side eye to the characters while I was listening.

Oh how I wish I could listen to this whole audiobook! I will most definitely be preordering.

Their paths are scattered like bones across time, but there is something mysterious in the works. As strange symbols surface their stories start to twist together.

I can’t wait to experience the rest of the story! Thank you for the sneak peek.

This is a fantastic sneak peek, and I'm so excited for the rest! The beginning was captivating, and I'm hoping the rest of the story will be just as good.

cANT believe this was a two hour sneak peak and now I have to wait for the rest... I did this to myself. this was sooo good, excited for the rest of the story!

I got a sneak peek of the first two hours of this audiobook on NetGalley, and I’m both grateful and slightly mad about it. Why? Because it was so good… and now I have to wait weeks for the rest. That was the best dirty trick a publisher could pull!

According to the publisher’s synopsis, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a genre-defying novel about immortality and hunger, following three young women from different eras. Santo Domingo de la Calzada in 1532, London in 1827, and Boston in 2019. Their bodies are planted in the same soil, their stories intertwining like roots. One grows high, one grows deep, and one grows wild—and all of them grow teeth.

This sneak peek absolutely hooked me. V. E. Schwab has a way of creating atmosphere that wraps around you like the heat in a Southern summer, thick, haunting, and irresistible. And this cast of narrators? Amazing. I already adore Julia Whelan, and hearing her lead the charge here with her pitch-perfect tone, emotional nuance, and accent work is like being handed a glass of cold sweet tea on a sweltering day. And she’s just one voice in a full cast, which makes me even more excited for what’s to come.

Big thanks (and a snarky side-eye) to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for this early taste. You’ve left me staring at a mirage in the desert with nothing but sand in my cup until June 10. Not nice. But also, thank you!

Can’t wait to dive back into this story and see where it goes. If the rest lives up to the opening, this could be one of my favorites of the year.

I know it's only a preview but let's face it V. E. Schwab does not miss, and judging by this sneak peek the Queen still reigns!

Thank you NetGalley, Tor, and V. E. Schwab for this preview of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. Amazing.

I devoured this sneak peek! Thank you for the small taste of what I can look forward to when I get my hands on the book next month!

Holy moly! This was so good for a sneak peak! 😳Am even more excited for the full thing. Listened on audio and all the narrators fit perfectly. Thanks to NetGalley for putting this one out there!

I just recently discovered VE Schwab and am a HUGE fan!

This sneak peak has me HOOKED to listen to / read the whole story. I very much enjoyed the narrators and their cadence. It was a pleasant listening experience.

This is an excellent sneak peek and I cannot wait for the rest of the story. This was just enough for me to know that I'll love it, as long as the rest continues to be as interesting as the beginning. The narration was spot on, and I am waiting impatiently now for the pub date!

I'm glad I have an e-galley of the full book so I can keep reading, but I would have loved to have been able to listen to the entire book.

Not a ton happens in this sneak peek, but you can tell Schwab is laying the pieces down and setting up for events to happen later in the novel. The characters are interesting and I cannot wait to find out how it all comes together.

Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, Marisa Calin do a wonderful job with the audiobook narration. Given that the women are from different areas of the world, this is definitely a book that lends well to consuming in audiobook format so you can hear all the accents.

I want the rest now !!!

It is my first by the author, she has me on chokehold right now. What's going to happen to Maria ? I want to know!!

We get sneak peeks of different PoVs - three women living in various times. I am intrigued to know more about them already.
What did she mean by the PoV titles? I can't wait to find out.
