Rune Winters keeps her true nature secret by day, playing the vapid socialite her family expects her to be, while by night she becomes the Crimson Moth — a masked vigilante who smuggles endangered witches to safety before the witch hunters can burn them.\n\nWhen a rescue goes wrong, Rune decides the safest way to protect her secret is to get closer to the enemy: Gideon Sharpe, a witch hunter as skilled as he is devoted to the revolution's cause. She sets out to distract him with a courtship neither of them takes seriously — until it starts to feel like more than a ruse.\n\nGideon has spent his life believing witches are the reason his world nearly burned down, and he has no patience for the idle rich Rune appears to be. But the closer his investigation into the Crimson Moth brings him to her, the harder it becomes to separate the woman he's falling for from the witch he's sworn to destroy. Heartless Hunter is a dual-POV enemies-to-lovers romantasy about the price of hiding who you are, and the first half of a duology that ends on a cliffhanger.",2024,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqpskat260gpnghcdprtb7gw.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kqpskarcyjk7qn964xxkzbgz.png?v=1209db9f2e","L7Au{jbb0zjZQ.WUS~oL{iW:Efn*",null,"4.00",2,416,473,0,"pending",false,true,[19,19,19,19,19,19,19,16,19,19],[25],{"id":26,"slug":27,"name":28,"role":29,"bio":30},"01kqprm5nx0eazvkfywbd74nrn","kristen-ciccarelli-5m2b","Kristen Ciccarelli","author","Kristen Ciccarelli writes fantasy novels, including \"Rebel Witch\" and \"Heartless Hunter.\" Her stories often feature magic and adventure, drawing readers into richly imagined worlds.

Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth; a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged and her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite. Due to one incident, Rune desperately needs to gain intel to find a captured witch and the notorious witch-hunter as well the blood guard, Gideon Sharpe fits to be used to help her on her mission. \n\nI truly love the worldbuilding and the engrossing backstories for Rune and Gideon— both having their own motives and reasons that lured me to get invested. Of trust and betrayal as well their love-hate drama that eagerly making me go curious on which narrative would lead me to the truth. The blood-based magic of Rune was too enticing and I love how the author intertwined it into the conflict— it gets me nervous everytime Gideon trying to find the scar but was enthralled as it directly built up the romance in between him and Rune. Friendship part making me anxious even from the beginning as I was really not that fond with Verity. Too bad for Alex although much expected on the twists. \n\nBit intense nearly the end; too fast pacing but the chaos really unfolds a more wicked truth that pouring me with suspense and a sudden cliffhanger— foreseen, yet I wish book 2 would come out sooner (please!). It crafted so well for the trope (might be a cliche for an enemy to lover but still a fan, though) esp on the heroine vigilante arc as I like Rune’s dynamic and characterization a lot. \n\n*Rebel Witch to my wishlist!\n\nThank you Times Reads for the gifted copy!","rv-01kr81xpcgvf48zxgb5cveeyw9",[],"2026-05-10T04:21:57.000000Z",{"first":14,"last":14,"prev":14,"next":14},{"path":166,"per_page":167,"next_cursor":14,"prev_cursor":14,"has_more":21},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kqpskarcyjk7qn964xxkzbgz\u002Freviews",20]
