Rune’s living a double life: secret witch vigilante by night, vapid socialite by day. Her latest scheme? Courting Gideon Sharpe, the brooding witch hunter with loyalty to the revolution and a face carved by the gods. Naturally, Gideon’s onto her and starts playing along to catch the Crimson Moth. Spoiler alert: the sparks are very real.

I loved the fresh take on witches in this story. Instead of the usual “falsely accused” narrative, we get a world where witches once ruled, and people genuinely fear their magic. That fear feels justified, adding layers to the tension and making this witchy world stand out.

With sharp banter, high-stakes romance, and a fresh twist on witches in hiding, this book kept me hooked until the very last page. The cliffhanger? Just enough intrigue to leave you dying for the next book without flipping your table. If you’re into enemies-to-lovers with a twist, you need this book in your life.
