The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli
4.0
4 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rune needed to give in to this deadly attraction because it was the best way to make her worst enemy believe, with no more doubts, that she wasn’t a witch. That she had nothing to hide.
Finally!! An enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance that actually features enemies-to-lovers, and add to that a forbidden romance between a witch and a witch hunter!
The Crimson Moth crackles with tension and magic and delivers a slowburn romance between two sworn enemies who are scarred by a tragic past.
Rune was an entertaining character to follow while it took me a while to warm up to the enigmatic Gideon until he started to shed his layers.
I live for fake courting trope so I was delighted and squealing like a schoolgirl all throughout their scenes, but damn there were a lot of scenes that had me biting my nails as Gideon gets close to catching Rune and finding out she is the Crimson Moth. The stakes kept getting too damn HIGH.
The author did a marvelous job at creating a simple yet intricate spell-work and magic system. There are specific conditions and limitations to using spells, and it has dire consequences on the Witches if done incorrectly or excessively and I always appreciate it when authors know how to keep their characters' powers in check.
It took 50 pages to get me hooked but right after the book had a steady and fast pacing and I was wholly immersed into it. The events that keep on unfolding will have you on edge!
I would categorize this book as upper YA as it does have a bit of spice and sexual tension.
If you enjoyed Serpent & Dove and is a big fan of enemies-to-lovers romances, then you wouldn't want to miss out the Crimson Moth!
