Ciccarelli, K: Crimson Moth

Crimson Moth completly captivated me from the very first sentence. With its perfect blend of magic, romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, I couldn`t put it down. The characters are complex, the chemistry is incredible and the dark, immersive atmosphere made this an unforgettable read. An easy 5 Star read for me.

I loved the crimson moth. It is a fantasy book about witches and witch hunters and it was honestly so well executed. I enjoyed the world building, the magic system, I liked everything about this. And then there's also the characters! I loved the dynamic and the drama, it was all just so so good! Can't wait to read part two but at the same time I don't want this series to end so soon... A book I will definitly remember.

I have read some books with a somewhat similar premise. The female lead falls in love with someone she really souldn't, as he is her mortal enemy looking to uncover and kill her. Just that it usually turns out that the male leads are really just golden-retriever boys hiding their true nature, not really being a threat at all. Don't get me wrong, I still adore those books. But Gideon is and remains a threat. And by god I did I love that. It made me devour this book faster than was good for me. Rune's and Gideon's dynamic is as dazzling as my 'pop-cover with classical instruments and modern originals' playlist framing the story perfectly. Additionally I hate to admit that the whole brother dynamic trope does things to me which should worry me, but at this point is a pattern to obvious to ignore. For fans of this genre looking for a truly fantastic ride, this book is simply too captivating to pass up.

What a fantastic dilogy! I don't know why I waited so long to read The Crimson Moth, but the end of it was that I had to read The Rebel Witch, the final volume, straight away! It was a must read and thank the god! I was already allowed to dive into the book and finished it within a day. Were these books hyped? I actually don't know, but they definitely deserve more attention. You simply have to like Rune and Gideon. Both are like water and fire, pitch and brimstone and yet between them lies a destiny that is hard to imagine away. THE book about witches and witch hunters!

Rune and Gideon dance in a deadly walz around each other, supressing their feelings and the truth behind their actions. Both come from very different backgrounds: Gideon made to hate witches, and Rune who grew up with her loving grandmother, who was also a witch. Games and ploys are used in the revolution... What happens when the past awakens to haunt the present?
