Book Review: "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil" by VE Schwab | Fiction, Dark Sapphic Vampire Fantasy

Love books? Looking for honest book reviews and book recs? Whether you're a lifelong reader, crawling out of a reading slump, or just need a trusted voice to help you find a great story — you're in the right place.

Welcome to Season 3! Today’s book is "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil" by VE Schwab. Set over five hundred years, the novel follows three female vampires, each bound by desire, power, and the cost of wanting more than the world will allow them. This is a story about hunger and rage—and about the ways women are told they should be satisfied, even when they’re not.
