Rebel Witch


Rebel Witch is the conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology, and it does not disappoint.

I'm not an avid Fantasy reader, mainly due to my fear of complex/confusing fantasy world building but this duology has a fantastical world that was easy to slip into and understand. 

The first book - Heartless Hunter - was a great start to this duology. I loved the magic, main characters and tension - particularly one action scene that was a nailbiter! Readers are left with a cliffhanger and leads readers directly into Rebel Witch. 

Rebel Witch picks up right after the first book ended, thrusting readers back into this world where witches are at war with non-magical people. Ciccarelli dives in with a story full of action, romance and intrigue in this very high stakes story that grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go for 450 pages.

This was an excellent end to this duology! It's a fast-paced story that blends great tension, forbidden romance (with some spicy sizzle), intrigue and edge-of-your-seat action scenes that will have readers reading 'just a little bit more'.

Book Description from GoodReadsThe stakes are even higher in this epic, romantic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Crimson Moth duology.

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.
