Synopsis
The 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.

I was so excited to get my hands on the much anticipated conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology and it did not disappoint! I read it in a 24 hour timespan, ignored all non-essential responsibilities while I did so, and I regret nothing. There’s the enemies to lovers tension, action, and magic, oh my! I enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed Heartless Hunter.
I love how the characters really grow to learn and understand that love is the opposite of tyranny, the ultimate power, and worth fighting for. There are so many great messages within the context of the story that we can all relate to. I love how the virtues of wisdom and courage are explored here as well.
The plot was predictable, nothing too complex in this YA Fantasy, but I enjoyed it immensely regardless as something I could just sit back and relax with, not have to think too much about.
The spicy scene is on par with the one in Heartless Hunter, if maybe a little more graphic, but still pretty tame by most standards. I give it 2/5 flames for spice.
If you enjoyed Heartless Hunter, I think you’ll enjoy this satisfying conclusion.
Thank you to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
