This is one those those books that’s so good it leaves you shaken. I’m scared it’ll put me into a reading slump because it was so good! It was addictive from the get go and I felt so fully immersed in the world I actually forgot I was reading at times. I also felt so emotionally connected that I cried very real tears at times.
The book is set in the aftermath of a revolution that ended the rule of witches. Any known witches are now hunted down. It follows Rune a rich socialite with a secret identity, a witch only known as the Crimson Moth. Gideon is a witch hunter who has been on the Crimson Moth’s trail. They both have secret agendas as they begin to court each other. Rune needs him to gain information to save fellow witches and Gideon needs to settle his suspicions that she may be the witch he’s been after or at the very least be involved with her somehow. But as they play their games, they risk real feelings developing. And all the while there’s some more sinister things occurring that may be beyond both of their controls.
I loved everything about this book: the mystery, the magic, the gothic atmosphere, the tragic elements, the high stakes, the tension, and the forbidden enemies to lovers love story.
