"A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history. I couldn't look away." - Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Champion of Fate Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy. On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is. Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for. Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting? Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love. “Enchanting and deeply romantic, Heartless Hunter drew me in with the first sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart.” - Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals Review: Amazing Fantasy World!! - Heartless Hunter by Kristin Ciccarelli is an immersive fantasy that effortlessly draws readers into a world defined by fear, power, and forbidden loyalty. Set against the backdrop of a society where witches are relentlessly hunted, Ciccarelli crafts a story that is both high-stakes and emotionally compelling. At the heart of the novel is Rune, a rebel witch secretly working to free captured witches, and Gideon, a devoted witch hunter determined to eliminate the elusive figure known as the Crimson Moth. Believing the Crimson Moth to be a dangerous threat, Gideon becomes increasingly suspicious of Rune—his brother’s close friend—and begins courting her as part of his investigation. What unfolds is a layered and tension-filled relationship, as suspicion and duty collide with undeniable attraction. Ciccarelli skillfully balances action with romance, creating a narrative that is as thrilling as it is emotionally charged. The dynamic between Rune and Gideon is particularly compelling, evolving from calculated manipulation into something far more genuine and complex. Their connection raises the stakes of the story, especially as the truth of Rune’s identity looms ever closer to discovery. While the novel leans toward a young adult tone, its fast pacing, vivid world-building, and engaging character dynamics make it an enjoyable read for a wide audience. The story’s momentum is relentless, making it difficult to put down once begun. The ending delivers a powerful cliffhanger, leaving readers eager for more and practically demanding the next installment. Heartless Hunter is a captivating introduction to a richly imagined world and will especially appeal to fans of fantasy filled with romance, tension, and rebellion. Review: A romantasy filled with interesting world building. - I'd give this a 3.75 rounded up. I liked this story and at times it was incredibly captivating, but it didn't ensnare me like I was hoping it would. Its no throne of Glass. This story was a little better than OK for me. I was able to sniff out some of the plot so I took off a star for predictability and storyline cohesiveness. There were just a few lapses in believability and logic so that slightly annoyed me. The storyline overall was good, and I liked the way the characters personalities came together. I am looking forward to reading the second book in the series and hoping it has a tightened up storyline structure. Overall this was a fun read and I liked it. It wasn't intense but held some good suspense and mystery. I think its worth the read and if you're looking for a feel good romantasy with a little suspense, this one will do the trick nicely. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,323 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Teen & Young Adult Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #6 in Teen & Young Adult Dark Fantasy #15 in Teen & Young Adult Wizards & Witches Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 68,060 Reviews | ## Images ![Heartless Hunter: The Crimson Moth: Book 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81k8YGJINwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Fantasy World!! *by B***C on March 19, 2026* Heartless Hunter by Kristin Ciccarelli is an immersive fantasy that effortlessly draws readers into a world defined by fear, power, and forbidden loyalty.

A forbidden romance that will set your soul on fire. *by L***E on November 30, 2025* 📖 **Heartless Hunter: The Crimson Moth Book 1** by Kristen Ciccarelli ⭐ Rating: ★★★★★ I can't recall a book ever making me feel this way, and I'm still reeling from the emotional devastation Kristen Ciccarelli unleashed in these pages. Rune Winters has claimed the throne as my favorite FMC of all time. She's wickedly smart, fiercely protective, and a witch hiding in plain sight within a regime that would kill her without hesitation. Watching her navigate the deadly dance between her vapid socialite facade and her true identity as the Crimson Moth was absolutely mesmerizing. Her fierce band of friends creates this beautiful found family dynamic that wraps around you like the warmest hug, three musketeers style, and their loyalty to each other becomes the emotional anchor that grounds the entire story. But then there's Gideon Sharpe, and oh my heart. The brother of her best friend, a witch hunter whose very existence should terrify her, yet their connection transcends logic and duty. The enemies-to-lovers tension between Rune and Gideon is electric, star-crossed in the most devastating way possible. Every interaction crackles with forbidden attraction and the constant threat of discovery. Gideon's internal struggle between his loyalty to the revolution and his growing feelings for Rune creates this delicious moral complexity that had me completely invested. The political intrigue weaves seamlessly through personal relationships, creating layers upon layers of deception and betrayal that I never saw coming. Ciccarelli masterfully builds this world where revolution and persecution collide, where friendship can mask the deepest betrayals, and where love blooms in the most impossible circumstances. The twists lit me up like a sparkler, each revelation more shocking than the last. I cried for the final chapters because this book doesn't just tell a story, it makes you feel every heartbreak, every moment of hope, every devastating choice these characters face. The dual POV structure allows you to experience both Rune's terror and Gideon's conflict simultaneously, creating this beautiful, torturous tension that builds to an absolutely breathtaking climax. 📦 **What to Expect** ✨ Dark Fantasy Revolution 💖 Forbidden Enemies-to-Lovers Romance 🔥 Witch vs. Witch Hunter Tension 🤯 Political Intrigue & Moral Complexity 💔 Found Family Bonds 🦴 Hidden Identity & Deception ⚔️ Vigilante Justice & Rebellion 🎯 **Final Thoughts** If you're hungry for fantasy that will crush your heart while setting your soul on fire, this belongs on your shelf immediately.
