Heartless Hunter Hardcover – 20 February 2024

The story starts with Rune, a noble girl living in a world where witches are hunted. But secretly, she’s The Crimson Moth🧙🏻🧹, a masked rebel witch who saves witches and fights against the empire.Gideon, a deadly witch hunter🏹, suspects Rune might be the Crimson Moth, but he doesn’t have any proof. Now they are around each other constantly, both hiding secrets, both watching every move, and the tension just keeps building.I also really loved Alex so much !! 💗, Rune’s best friend and the only one who knows her secret. He’s brave, loyal and the kind hearted friend🫶🏼.I honestly found it hard to put this book down. The pacing was just right, with the plot flowing smoothly and each chapter pulling me in deeper. The dynamic between Rune, Gideon and Alex along with all the dangers , tragic backstories and secrets, kept me completely hooked.📖And the ending...why?🥺

It was worth the hype and I couldn’t put it down.True enemies to lovers and Rune Winters is one amazing heroine.Recommended.

After my last two ARCs, which were disappointing, I was hesitant to pick up another one, so I decided to read from my physical TBR instead. I'm so glad I did! It's been a long time since I screamed, squealed, and swooned over a book. My emotions were all over the place, and the slow burn was so torturous—I loved it. I didn't realize who Cressida was actually in disguise as until the end. Moody readers, please pick this up; you won't regret it. I can't wait for the next book. It's perfect for fans of Serpent and Dove, but it's even better.From the book:"Every time Gideon looked at the young heiress, she reminded him of the sea: steal-your-breath beautiful on the surface, with the promise of untold depths beneath."Quote I loved:"Sparing the life of someone you hate doesn't make you weak. It makes you better than the rest of us."

The book is heavily inspired by the Scarlet Pimpernel, which is an all time favourite of mine but the protagonists in this book were just stupid and hard to root for. We’re expected to believe that these people are smart somehow but they constantly make dumb decisions like lovesick teenagers. It just wasn’t believable. The whole book was irritating to read.
