Title: The Crimson Moth

Series: Crimson Moth #1

Author: Kristen Ciccarelli

On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.

Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can’t help but find herself falling for.

Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

Rune is a witch hiding in plain sight.
Gideon is a witch hunter.

Rune frees witches that have been captured and she now needs to free her Nan’s friend…..but this is the hardest jailbreak she’s done yet so needs to get close to Gideon to get info….and basically Gideon gets close to Rune as he suspects she is a witch. There’s also another complication in the fact that Gideon’s brother is in love with Rune!

Although I could not have been happier to read about enemies to lovers, my heart was in my throat reading this, it was amazing!

I do not like love trianges and this had the weirdest love triangle…..and I kind of liked it!

This book was dark, kind of macabre, fascinating and I could not put it down! There were so many secrets and lies, I was literally on the edge of my seat!

But those last few chapters…..oh my goodness, my heart! The revelations, the promise. Need that next book now please!!!
