Heartless Hunter

The Crimson Moth Duology, Book 1

De: Kristen Ciccarelli

Narrado por: Grace Gray

"A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history. I couldn't look away." - Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Champion of Fate

Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy

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 Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love.

“Enchanting and deeply romantic, Heartless Hunter drew me in with the first sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart.” - Rebecca Ross, New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

May be my top book of the year!

First off, the narration was great. I loved this book. The world, the magic system, and the slowww burn cat & mouse romance. My only complaint is that I consumed it the week of release so now I have to wait to know what happens next.😭😭

My heart

I love this book!!! The narrator is also wonderful. I can’t wait for book 2

loved it

Left me wanting next book right away! I want to know what awaits Rune.

Wow! It’s been a while

This was such an unexpected surprise… it’s been a while since a Romantasy book has had me in a chokehold like this book.
The narrator was *chef kiss* impecable
The plot was engaging
The characters were well developed and easy to relate and grow feelings for
Overall this is a new favorite!
Can’t wait for next year!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!

Oh my gosh if I could read this book all over again for the first time I could die a happy woman! If there’s not a second book I’m suing lol🙏🙏🙏

Witches & Enemies to Lovers - what more could you want!

I really enjoyed this book. Rune is a really wonderful main character and I enjoyed learning about the witches in this world! This book is heartbreaking and I am dying for book two! Narrator is really wonderful!

Perfect Balance

It’s hard to find a story with seamless character development AND romance that doesn’t make you roll your eyes. The story is fast-paced but not rushed; the characters have some depth but aren’t cliche; the romance just enough of a tease. And I always love a story with multiple POV’s. I wouldn’t have minded if the story had been a little longer so a few things could have been developed more but it’s possible I’m saying that because I didn’t want it to end!

I do wish, however, they would have used two narrators. The woman who reads it did a great job but they might as well do the alternating chapters justice and alternate narrators as well.

An encredibly fun escape - excited for book 2

I’m not a huge Romantasy fan, but I loved this book. I truly didn’t want it to end. The pacing was excellent, the characters had depth, and nothing seemed frivolous or out of context. I devoured it.

My Mind is STILL Spinning!

I could not put this book down. The narrator was phenomenal and the story was intricate, layered, and each character was full of depth. I'm hooked. 10/10

I can't wait for the sequels in this series.

Incredible Story, 5 stars!

Very unique, the writing is incredible. Action, adventure, magic, forbidden romance, suspense, surprises and unexpected plot twists. Let’s just say nothing happened like how I thought it would and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It also ends explosively on a cliff hanger. I can’t wait to read the next book.
