Synopsis: A WITCH...
Rune Winters is on the run. Ever since the boy she loved, Gideon Sharpe, revealed who she was and delivered her into enemy hands, everyone wants her dead. If Rune hopes to survive, she must ally herself with the cruel and dangerous Cressida Roseblood, who’s planning to take back the Republic and reinstate a Reign of Witches—something Cressida needs Rune to accomplish.
A WITCH HUNTER...
Apparently it wasn’t enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; she’s now betrayed him by allying herself with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon won’t allow the Republic to fall to the witches and be plunged back into the nightmares of the past. In order to protect this new world he fought for, every last witch must die—especially Rune Winters.
AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE...
When Rune makes Gideon an offer he can’t refuse, the two must pair up to
accomplish dangerous goals. The more they’re forced into each other’s company,
the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune aren’t as dead and buried
as he thought. Now he’s faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice the girl he
loves to stop a monster taking back power, or let Rune live and watch the world
he fought so hard for burn.
In Kristen Ciccarelli's Rebel Witch, the exciting conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology, love has never been so deadly.
Miniature Review
I was so lucky to get approved for this book back in November, and as soon as I saw it on my NetGalley shelf, I couldn’t wait to dive in. I hadn’t long finished The Crimson Moth, and I knew this was going to be the perfect follow-up. So, of course, I bumped it straight to the top of my reading list. I’m beyond thrilled to finally be able to talk about this incredible book.
After finishing The Rebel Witch, I honestly don’t know how it surpassed The Crimson Moth in every way. While the first book had me gripped, this sequel took everything to the next level. Whether it was because I was already familiar with the characters or because I just needed to know what happened next, I couldn’t put it down.
The story picks up right where The Crimson Moth leaves off, diving straight into all the raw emotions, betrayal, and tension. From the very first page, Rune and Gideon’s interactions had me on the edge of my seat, and I loved how the author didn’t drag out the tension between them. It made their relationship feel even more real and immediate.
The plot is such a rollercoaster! It’s full of danger, twists, and tough decisions that really make the characters grow. There’s this great mystery about who the true enemy is, and it kept me guessing and hooked the whole time.
The best part, though? The romance. It’s just swoon-worthy. I loved every moment of it. The action, the romance, the emotions, everything played out so clearly in my mind, and I found myself laughing, crying, and literally kicking my feet in the air at times. The Rebel Witch has easily become one of my all-time favourite romantasy duology, and I can't wait to dive back in and experience it all over again.
