An excellent sequel!! This has truly become one of my favorite fantasy series. The writing, the plot, the characters, everything about it I love. One of my favorite things about these books are the short chapters that get straight to the point. It keeps you always on wanting more. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

This series is amazing! I absolutely love her writing! Rune & Gideon are great characters! Loved everything about this!

I love these books SO DANG MUCH!!! this was a wonderful followup to the first, I could not put it down. these are so easy to read/binge. my biggest issue with this is that the main character made so many stupid choices simply for the sake of driving the plot forward but then always ended up getting herself out of every single situation that should have theoretically killed her, which always bugs me. however this was otherwise fantastic and I really hope we see more from this world.

I absolutely loved this book. Such a good follow up to an amazing first book. The tension, the action, the BOAT. 5/5.

Thank you to Wednesday Books and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC for review and to PRH audio for the #gifted audiobook of Rebel Witch and allowing me to live out my best book binger life. All opinions are my own.
I read Heartless Hunter and Rebel Witch back-to-back – I was not joking when I said I was craving a good witch vs witch hunter fantasy. Rebel Witch has that same delicious tension I expected after finishing Heartless Hunter and I felt like the author did a great job at balancing the connection between Rune and Gideon with the high stakes plot. I predicted some of the twists and there are a couple scenes that felt a bit rushed to me, the ending included but overall, it was clearly enjoyable since I ate this book right up!
I started off alternating between the ebook and audiobook but I enjoyed the narration quite a bit so I read most of it by audio. The narrator did a wonderful job with the entire cast of characters.

Ugh I love this duology so much. This was so good, and I love rune and Gideon so much. The back and forth of deceiving eachother or plans to got a little tiring after while but other than that I loved this book. I even did the audio on Spotify and it was great!

i didn’t like this one quite as much as the first mostly because it was so much of the same

rune would run away, gideon would find her, spare her life, lather rinse repeat

but the twist at the end actually made me gasp and a neat little bow was tied for our lovers so i guess it all worked out in the end

A great sequel to the Crimson Moth. I really enjoyed how things ended and definitely had my suspicions throughout the book. I wish we could have gotten a little more of the future, but it has a good epilogue.

While I thought this was a great wrap up to The Crimson Moth, it did take me awhile to get through it, I just didn't feel as connected or as in love this time around. But don't get me wrong, Gideon is still dreamy and has what it takes to make a girl swoon.

Rating: 4.75⭐️

I think this was the perfect end to an amazing duology! I’ll admit, it started out a little slow for me, but it quickly picked up the pace and had me hooked for the remainder of the book.

This one felt like it had more of the “cat and mouse” game not only between Rune and Gideon, but also their ragtag group, the witches and the Bloodguard. I loved getting to meet new characters and witness our favourite characters change throughout the story. This is what you want in a rebellion book! Character coming together to fight for the greater good! It was so well done in my opinion!

The romance in this one was well done, too. Gideon and Rune both have trauma they have to work through, but with their reluctant alliance, they overcome their pain and learn to love each other no matter what. I love their romance so much!

This was overall a great way to end a duology. Huge praise to the author for not dragging this out into another book!

The perfect conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology! Was it a little predictable? Sure, but I don't care. I was there for the vibes and amazing romance. Chef's kiss, absolutely no notes.

Kristen Ciccarelli you magnificent witch you.
This book was EXACTLY what I wanted & hoped for in a conclusion to this duology.
Gideon & Rune have cemented their place in my heart as one of my top fave book couples.
The action, the heartbreak, the twists and turns all made for an incredible conclusion that left me breathless and sobbing.
The pacing was perfect, the emotions were HIGH, and the build up was so well executed that I felt like I blinked and I was finished reading.
Kristen’s writing is engrossing and captures all the angst and betrayal perfectly and MAKES you feel them on behalf of the characters.
I absolutely adored this book and will recommend this duology to anybody and everybody.

Not much to say on this one other than: super predictable but equally fast paced and entertaining (didn’t even care that I knew where everything was going, I was having a great time).

I love this characters with my whole heart, and while I’m so sad it’s over, what a magnificent journey it was! The stakes were staking, the romance was romancing, and every chapter kept me eagerly anticipating what would happen next. Easily one of my favorite romantasy duologies and absolutely deserving of a full five stars.

I will definitely be rereading these soon and I cannot wait to devour whatever Kristen Ciccarelli writes from here on out!

Thank you so much to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for this eARC. All opinions are my own.

I just really enjoyed this story and I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

I loved the first book. I started reading this one, but life got in the way on me. Husband lost his job, in-laws moved in and out of my house, and have to sell my house since we can't make house payments work for too much longer. I do apologize for not being able to give you a full review, but what I did read was good.

It’s rare for the second book in the series to top the first, but Rebel Witch did just that! The first 10% or so was a little slow for me, but it soon gathered speed and didn’t let up. Dare I say we had some polyjuice potion vibes??!! I loved most of this book so much, but the end left me so confused! If you read this, please explain 😅

When I first saw Rebel Witch I was unaware that this book was a sequel to Heartless Hunter. Having learned that, I hurried and read Heartless Hunter, hoping against hope that this novel, Rebel Witch, would not continue in the fantasy habit of making every story into, at least a trilogy, and, most likely, a series. And, as much as I have loved the journey through these two novels, I am also glad that the story is only two books long and does finish in this novel. I loved it. The characters are flawed and beautiful. The world of witches and spell marks is thrilling and creative. The story is captivating and I loved the duel perspectives of the two main character switching off telling their side of the story in each chapter. I would definitely recommend a read.

A fast paced conclusion to the Crimson Moth duology. This was definitely not a case of a book falling to sequel syndrome which made me so happy. Ciccarelli brings back her unique, easy to read writing style that draws you in and holds the reader captive. I loved the world building and getting to explore the surrounding lands.

Full of angst and internal struggles, I really enjoyed watching Rune and Gideon come back together. As well as other allegiances morphing and changing. the sacrifices, the loyalties, the twists. I was here for it all. And Gideon really showed his colours and merit in this book. It sky rocketed my opinion of him. So many of the side characters redeemed themselves for me.

I think my only criticism would be the final climax felt rushed. But I did love that we got an epilogue. It made me so happy. If you haven't read this series yet, why not??!!

I think I have a new favorite duology. I had high expectations going into this after the first book, and I was not disappointed. I had so much fun reading this, and if you enjoyed the first book, you will too!

This was just as addicting as the first book, and I am so grateful that I was able to read this book early. I can’t wait to see what the author does next!
