Favorite Quote: She laughed to solidify the part she was playing. But deep down, her soul wilted.

Story Synopsis: Rune Winters is a witch hiding in plain sight. Among aristocrats, she plays the part of an airheaded bimbo who is a shameless flirt. What no one knows, except her two closest friends, is she is the Crimson Moth: rescuing witches from the witch hunters and sending them away to be safe. When her best friend’s brother, and captain of the witch hunters, Gideon, holds the key to finding a witch Rune desperately needs to save, she must capture his interest and uncover his intel.

Meanwhile, Gideon’s sole mission is to dispose of all witches after they ruined him and his family. His number one target: the Crimson Moth. He knows she is close at hand, but cannot find conclusive evidence of her identity. To learn the Moth’s identity, Gideon decides to court the most gossipy aristocrat he knows: Rune Winters.

Both are playing their part… until they aren’t.

Why does this book beguile? I love, love, love, love this book. OMG. Nothing - and I mean nothing - has scratched my romantasy itch since Sarah J. Maas and Fourth Wing books have come out. Heartless Hunter was the perfect book for me. It’s fast paced with great world-building, but not so much that you get lost and confused. The magic system is excellent and the enemies to lovers is delightful. I am so happy I read this book and thanks to my friend who recommended it!
