“"It’s true. Every word of it is true.”
“It’s shameful to say so.”
“It’s more shameful that no one is doing anything to catch the Maiden Thief."
I came into this short story unaware that it was a retelling of the Bluebeard folktale but what I loved about this in contrast to the original tale was that Marr did such an excellent job of writing Verena stepping into her own power and learning to best Jakob at his own game. The suspense and pacing of revealing what that game was was perfect for me for a novella like this and I enjoyed figuring out things as the MC figured them out. All in all, a good offering from Marr and from Tor!”

About Melissa Marr
As a result of teaching university for over a decade prior to writing, Melissa Marr has an ongoing weakness for writing short stories and editing anthologies. However, she is best known for her folklore, myth, or fairy tale based novels, including the internationally bestselling Wicked Lovely series, the award-winning Graveminder, and recently, The Blackwell Pages (the latter co-authored with Kelley Armstrong). Melissa's 2016 release, Seven Black Diamonds, is the first of two books in a new YA faery series.
