To help avoid confusion — The Crimon Moth is the UK title, while The Heartless Hunter is the US title.
The Crimson Moth is set in a Bridgerton-style world set back in a time when balls and carriage rides were a thing. It is told in 3rd person, dual POV and follows Rune, a wealthy socialite with a secret—she is the elusive crimson moth who has been saving witches from persecution—and Gideon, a witch hunter on her trail.
This story is packed with magic, mystery, and tension. I devoured it and loved Kristen Ciccarelli's writing style, world building, and character development. It gave me similar vibes and feelings to books like Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross and Belladonna by Adalyn Grace.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the second and final part of this duology. That cliffhanger was heart wrenching but satisfying.

I snagged my copy from the Owl Crate February book box, and let me tell you, the ribbon and sprayed edges added such a delightful flair to the story! It's like someone took the time to read the book and make a magical connection with the colors.
I decided to dive into this adventure with a buddy read on StoryGraph, and trust me, it's worth every page-turning moment. Picture this: a YA romanticy enemies-to-lovers type of book that'll have your heart racing and your emotions soaring!
Despite being a bit older reader, I found myself totally engrossed in the character development. Sure, sometimes YA can make my eyes roll, but it also whisked me back to my younger years in the most nostalgic way possible. Plus, the flow of the book was impeccable, with just the right length of chapters to keep me hooked.
Now, I'll admit, a few events that popped up later in the story threw me for a loop, but overall, it was an absolute joy to read.
And guess what? I'm already counting down the days until I can get my hands on book two! 😏
