This book is so excellent. I could not put it down. I think it’s been a while since my heart felt openly torn and heartbroken for these characters. 

Justice for Alex though. That sweet sweet man.

This is a book I would recommend to anyone who likes romantasy. Excellent. I was on the edge of my seat. 

Top tier tension for sure. Excellent story of understanding why these enemies are enemies. You understand why they are who they are and also the lovers part.  I want to read book 2 right away.

Heartless Hunter is the kind of enemies-to-lovers romance that keeps you breathless. Rune’s secret life as the Crimson Moth, saving witches under the cover of night, collides with Gideon’s relentless role as a witch hunter—and their dangerous dance had me completely hooked. The tension between them is sharp, the chemistry is undeniable, and every secret revealed raises the stakes higher.

Kristen Ciccarelli weaves political intrigue, forbidden love, and moral grayness into a story that’s both heart-pounding and beautifully romantic. While a few political moments slowed the pace, the payoff was more than worth it. The ending had me glued to the page, perched on the edge of my seat, desperate to know what would happen next.

If you love high-stakes romance, secrets, and a finale that leaves you reeling, this book is a must-read.
