Thanks to Tor Books, NetGalley, and LibroFM for an advanced copy of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by VE Schwab to review! I actually listened to an advanced copy of this through the LibroFM librarian program, and the three different narrators did an excellent job! It helped that Schwab crafted three distinct voices that instantly draw you into the story.

Vampires seem to be making a comeback in the year 2025, and I'm not mad about it. María, Charlotte, and Alice are all deeply flawed characters. They each make decisions based on their own desires rather than anyone else. The story isn't told linearly. Schwab switches between each point of view throughout the story. Thus, we gradually see how each of the three women are connected. Honestly, this made the story more suspenseful because I was curious how everything was going to come together at the end.

If you're someone who reads for action, this is definitely more of a character-driven story. You're more focused on these three women and their lives rather than a driving plot. However, this allows Schwab's lyrical prose to shine through, strongly depicting the emotions each narrator is going through.

Not sure if this tops The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue as my favorite VE Schwab book, but it is definitely up there! If you're looking for a fantasy featuring chaotic lesbian vampires this summer, definitely check this one out.
