Great short story

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to it on audiobook and the narrator made it a great experience. She added a more fantastical dreamlike quality to the story. She also really brought Verena's character to life. Her voice fit the tone of the book perfectly.
I was gifted a copy of this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher. This is an unbiased review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The plot centers on Verena, who is living in a place where young maidens go missing every year at the same time. She isn't happy about the situation and writes an article about it. All this does is to cause the kidnapper to target her family. What happens when she comes face to face with the kidnapper?
That's all I'll say about the plot as it's so short and I don't want to spoil it! I will say that it is a well written and entertaining read. Marr has given this tale a really dark feel, an almost Grimm fairytale feel, which I liked. The heroine, Verena, was well developed for such a short book and was kinda kick ass in all honesty. She didn't want to stand by and ignore what was happening and did something about it, even if it did cause the kidnapper to look to her, it was still nice that she stood up for the girls!
In all, a good short story, though I wanted it to be longer ;) Melissa Marr never fails to deliver!
This is the first book I've listened to narrated by Carla Mercer-Meyer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. She gave a solid performance and had the right tone for the right time. he drew me into the book and kept my attention throughout.

I would have liked it to be a longer and more drawn out story. The plot was such a good one that it could have been stretched to add more thrill. I was still very pleased with it.
The storyline was great

Any additional comments?
The Maiden Thief is an excellent old fashioned fairy tale of the Irish and German variety, rather than the Disney princess variety. Like the Grimms brothers before her, Melissa Marr wrote a compelling story with an imperfect main character.The story centers around Verena, who is tired of seeing her village become complacent with a serial killer kidnapping one young girl from the village each year. In hopes of inspiring the community into action, she writes an article about the Maiden Thief that questions why no one is doing anything to catch him. Rather than stir the community into action, it makes the killer target her family and older sisters. One by one the sisters become victims until only Verena is left. It was thrilling to let the story play out because I couldn't tell if she'd survive or become a victim herself!
Carla Mercer-Meyer did a great job narrating. She really brought the characters to life giving each one their own distinct voice, both male and female. She also has great intonation and pace, conveying urgency in all the right places. I received a copy of this audio in exchange for an unbiased review.
Well Written Old Fashioned Fairy Tale

While it was good, I'm not sure it felt completely original. That said, I think that overall this was a decent short story by Melissa Marr. I'd definitely listen to other books by her.
Carla Mercer-Meyer captured the tone of the story well. Her narration was perfect for that of the protagonist. It was dramatic and well performed.
