Review: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

December 12, 2025
Consumed by shadows and darkness, Dimitri walks a path stained with vengeance and blood. His haunted past drives him to hunt down Prism organization, a ruthless, black-market organization, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. As he closes in on his target, his twisted obsessions lead him to the unsuspecting Serena, a spark in the darkness that ignites a dangerous game of possession. When Dimitri finds someone to be a threat, he has no problem ridding himself of them, even if it means killing them. Dimitri is put to the test when his "Little Siren" finds herself as Prism's next target. When things take a darker turn, Dimitri must decide whether to keep on with his plans or lose everything he has worked for.

📚 Do you love stories about second chances and fin 📚 Do you love stories about second chances and finding your way? 🌙 Recension: Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous (Everyday Magic #1) by Autumn K. England📚 Genre: Cozy Fantasy📅 Release Date: May 26, 2026📖 Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press📗 available in various formats📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 364⭐️ 4/5Review:If you love stories about second chances and finding your way, this one will be for you. We meet Oaklin, who joined a cult in the past, hoping to find joy, happiness, and a sense of belonging. It turns out that they did not have his well-being in mind and instead misused his magic to do bad things. In the aftermath of the war, the cult no longer exists. Past members received a fund from the survivors’ fund, and he is one of those looking for a fresh beginning. When he buys a farm, he is not prepared for what comes with that.The story feels like a warm hug. It starts with Oaklin, who wants to hide his past and is afraid of everyone judging him when they find out. He is afraid of making friends, getting close to people in the village, and especially of using his magic. He wants to stay by himself but must learn quickly that he needs to overcome his hesitation, and that most people are not judging him. Instead, they accept him for who he is and show that a little kindness goes a long way.This is a story about accepting past events, no longer holding on to what you cannot change, and embracing new possibilities.It is an easy and quick read. The world is not overly complex but provides enough context to explain the resistance Oaklin has to face and why it leaves such a mark on him. It also clearly shows that while there will always be people who are not willing to give you a chance, the majority have a good heart and are willing to support you.#arcread #bookstagramgermany

📚 A magicless matchmaker princess defies her power 📚 A magicless matchmaker princess defies her power-hungry brother’s forced marriage🌙 Recension: The Starlight Princess (Cycle of Calamity #0) by Elyse Thomson📚 Genre: Romantasy📅 Release Date: November 26, 2025📖 Publisher: ‎Two Laurels Press📗 available in various formats📱 Read as: Kindle💸 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 145⭐️ 3.5/5Review:Adamanthea is special in a way that grants her certain freedoms, but also places limitations on her. Her main talent is matchmaking, and she believes in lasting relationships built on partnership – where both people genuinely enjoy each other’s company. Meanwhile, her brother, who is also the king, is focused on political advantages. Because she was not born with magic, he considers her worthless and no longer tolerates her lack of “value” to his agenda.When her brother forces her into marriage, and she absolutely loathes her future husband, she is put in a situation she has to find her own way out of.Enter Leandros, who is in love with Adamanthea and offers to get her out of the situation – while having his own agenda. Their journey together puts them in danger, but also allows them to learn more about their connection.It’s short, it’s cute, and it doesn’t offer too much complexity. As a prequel, it interested me enough to want to continue with the rest of the series.#cycleofcalamity #bokkstagramgermany
📚 A puddle, deaths that shouldn’t be possible, and 📚 A puddle, deaths that shouldn’t be possible, and a truth that unravels into magic, secrets, and something far more dangerous lurking beneath.🌙 Recension: Beyond the Aching Door (The Fatebound Duology #1) by Victoria Mier📚 Genre: Romantasy📅 Release Date: March 26, 2024📖 Publisher: ‎Bowker📗 available in various formats📱 Read as: Physical💸 Bought🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 532⭐️ 4/5Review:The beginning of the book was a bit different from what I expected. We follow a journalist investigating a drowning – but how can someone drown in a puddle of water? Consider me intrigued 🙂Raegan is eager to find out what really happened. It becomes clear early on that there is more to the story, and as her investigation deepens, she discovers that magic is real and that the stories her father told her when she was younger were more than just stories. And this is when the real fun begins 🙂Her obsession with finding her father was very dominant. When she learned that he had kept things hidden from her to protect her, her decision to ignore all warnings was a clear sign that this could only end with her being put in dangerous situations. Discovering that there is a whole different world out there that she never knew about leads Raegan to leave her life behind and go on a dangerous mission.This sets her on a course where she meets a handsome fae, which was one of my highlights. His grumpy attitude, combined with the clear attraction between the two of them, made me smile more than once.And let’s not forget my personal highlight: Rainer. He was such a special character, and I wanted more of him.The storytelling felt mature, and having more grown-up characters was refreshing to me. The book could have benefited from being slightly more condensed, as some parts felt a bit dragged out. Overall, I really enjoyed the start to the duology.#fateboundduology #victoriamier #bookstagramgermany
