My thoughts
This was a fantastic read. From enemies to lovers back to enemies kind of book. With a lot before, between and after. To be concluded in the next book, Rebel Witch coming early next year.
This is a different kind of witch story. Different from others I have read anyway. In this one you have a young lady who inherited a small fortune from her grandmother. A grandmother she turned in for being a witch. A hunted young lady who has only come into her powers in the last few years.
A young man who is this witch's best friend. His brother who hunts said witch. And a town of people who are either haters of witches or helping them escape certain death.
This book was very good. It held me captive and interested to the very end. It had all the things you would expect in a good book. All the emotions. A love story where you hope the villain and the heiress make it. Possibly together.
This book has a lot of action. It keeps you wondering who is who and what will come next. I suspected part of this story and was right but only after I thought it was another girl. You'd have to read it to get what I mean.
The ending left me wanting more. I can't wait to start the next book. To find out if true love will prevail. If the witches will destroy the people. If the witch hunter wins. If the Crimson Moth will rise in full power and save the day.
This was my BOTM choice and I'm hoping the next book in the series is one also.
Five stars from me.
About
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?
Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Crimson Moth is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch… is falling in love.
