Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
by V.E. Schwab
Our rating
Spice: mild. Darkness: very dark.
Three women turned into vampires across five centuries: María in 1500s Spain, Charlotte in 1800s London, Alice in modern Boston. Their stories wind together slowly. Addie LaRue's structure with much more blood and some genuinely toxic sapphic relationships.
