Heartless Hunter (The Crimson Moth #1)

🔗Author: Kristen Ciccarelli
⚠️
Note: This book has also been published as The Crimson Moth.

Highlights

I liked the magic system. How witches cast their spells and the physical manifestation and symbolism of such act was innovative.

What to Expect

  • Enemies to lovers
  • Fake seduction game
  • Love triangle
  • Deceiving appearances
  • Witch vs witch hunter
  • Secret agendas
  • Misunderstandings
  • Inquisition-like era
  • Opposite social classes
  • Forbidden magic
  • Dual POV

What I Missed

  • The Crimson Moth is portrayed as a cunning strategizer. However, in a couple of instances, we’re given the opposite. Therefore, the character’s naivety or unsuspicion dampened the mood for me.
  • I’m not convinced about the ending. On one hand, I see certain results as unnecessary; a pointless sacrifice—even when it was born from love. On the other hand, it felt like an easy way out or the easy solution to a complicated triangle.
🤔
In conclusion, the verdict will be out once I read the sequel and final book in this duology: is the hype well placed?
