About this listen

 "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 a romantic fantasy duology 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, New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals Fantasy Fiction Magic Science Fiction & Fantasy Women's Voices Magic Users Witchcraft Hunting Emotionally Gripping Feel-Good

I thought it was really well done! Both the story & narrating. I don’t remember if I saw that’s it’s YA, but if you also missed that- now you know. Usually not a YA person, but I’m hooked on this one!

Excited for the next book!

Loved the characters, the plot twists and story line were engaging. The world building dynamic and interesting. Can’t wait for the next book.

Fantastic story

This narrator took the story to another level! I loved the way she did the voices for each of the characters, and gave so much depth and emotion. The story itself is full of tension and angst— agh the angst! The ending might have been a little predictable in some places, but not in all of them, and the roller coaster getting there had me on the edge of my seat. So many twists! This was a 5 star book for me, and on top of that my favourite listen/read of 2024. Cannot wait for the second book to release!

So good!

I’ve listened to several titles in this genre and this one wasn’t a slow start and my only criticism is I wish there was a third book! This duology is fantastic!

One of my favourites!
