Heartless Hunter by Kristen CiccarelliMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have I found a book that everyone is talking about, that I've been sleeping on for a while, and have now discovered my new favorite author?
Yes.
Does this have everything I never thought I needed?
Also yes.
Heartless Hunter is about a girl named Rune who's secretly a witch, but she's playing two versions of herself: a socialite and a superhero of witches, kind of like Scarlet Witch. She's saving witches from the horrible Blood Guard, witch hunters that are hunting down witches and eradicating them. One witch hunter she cannot stand is Gideon Sharpe, the brother of her friend Alexander Sharpe. Rune, Verity, and Alex are trying to save as many witches as they can under the name the Crimson Moth, and Gideon has been hunting down the Crimson Moth for two years.
When Rune learns that a witch that she knows is locked up, she and her friends plot to figure out where she is and how to get her, and one of the things she does is fake-date Gideon, even though she hates his guts and wants him dead as a doornail for what he and the Blood Guard has done to the witches she couldn't save. She doesn't expect Alex to reveal that he's in love with her and asks her to go to Caelis with him so they can be married and live forever so she can be free. Nor did she expect to actually fall in love with Gideon, but she did.
The relationship between Rune and Gideon was very nice and cool, very slow-burn, wasn't expecting to love that since I'm not a huge slow-burn romance type of girly, but this was written just right. And the ending?! With that ending and another witch coming back from the dead?? Whaaat?
I'm already reading Rebel Witch as we speak and I'm already in love with this duology, gonna be my favorite one out of the year, I can just feel it. The story is so good, the way the world and the characters pull you in as you read...love it.
