“Sometimes our paths must diverge from those we love. But if love is the highest power, our paths will converge again—if not in this world, then the next.”
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.
I love me a duology! The perfect mix of romance and fantasy with really great scenes and a high stakes plot. The romance in this book was amazing, like enemies to lovers is so hard to pull off but she executed it so well. The tension between our main characters was sizzling and it felt so good to read. The forced proximity in this book made the romance so much better, like the one bathroom scene at the start and multiple like that scattered across the book. It just hit so well, the spicy scenes although minimal served so much. These two are perfect for each other, the angst and the chemistry that they share make them seem like fated lovers!!
4.5 stars for this finale. Not much to say on this one other than it was super predictable but equally fast paced and entertaining that I didn’t even care that I knew where everything was going I was having a great time! I’m not big on YA novels, but I ate this series up!
