Thank you to @kristenciccarelli @stmartinspress @netgalley for the #gifted e-book and @prhaudio for the #gifted audiobook.

The stunning conclusion to the Crimson Moth duology.

This book seamlessly picks up right where Heartless Hunter left off, thrusting us into the thrilling pursuit of Rune by Gideon. In a shocking twist, Gideon discovers Rune engaged to a prince who’s critically aligned with Cressida, the formidable Witch Queen, as she schemes to reclaim her city. With stakes higher than ever, Rune and Gideon unite to thwart Cressida’s plans for total domination.

The palpable tension between Rune and Gideon is electric. Each time one of them finds themselves in a perilous situation, I was on the edge of my seat, eager to see how they would maneuver their way out. The story bursts forth with intensity and maintains its grip on the reader throughout. Packed with danger and intrigue, the pacing is expertly crafted to keep your attention rapt. I particularly appreciated how the characters were faced with morally challenging decisions, making their journey all the more compelling. The dual POVs of Rune and Gideon added profound depth to the narrative, immersing us deeply in their thoughts and emotions.

Having the opportunity to read and listen to this book was nothing short of incredible. The narrator truly brought the characters to life, infusing the story with her emotion and voice, enhancing the overall experience.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, exhilarating tales, this duology is a must-read. Mark your calendars for February 18, 2025—this adventure awaits!
