What a toxic, good time. I really enjoyed the 3 timeline/storylines intertwining and connecting as it brings it to the conclusion. There were some really good twists I didn't see coming and overall I had a good time.

If you like dysfunctional, toxic relationships with some sharp teeth, then read this asap!

This book really does creep up and sink its teeth into you. Such a lush and alluring story with multi-faceted characters that reflect the longing, grief and hunger that can consume us. Beautifully written and rich with emotion that comes rushing up to you unexpectedly from a depth beneath the words. Although it was slow moving at times, the payoff in the end was definitely worth it.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a masterful slow-burn that blends horror, heartbreak, and beauty in a way only V. E. Schwab can. This is a big book that takes its time and it’s absolutely worth every page. Told in dual timelines, the story peels back layers of mystery and grief, drawing haunting parallels between past and present.

Both timelines are beautifully written, but I found myself especially drawn to the historica

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is yet another testament to V.E. Schwab’s gift for weaving hauntingly beautiful prose with an atmosphere that lingers long after you close the book. The imagery is lush and eerie, the kind that creeps under your skin and settles there.

The story’s pacing is deliberate, pulling you deeper into its world with each chapter, and the characters—flawed, fragile, and fierce—feel utterly alive. Schwab balances melancholy with moments of quiet hope, creating a narrative
