But if love is the highest power, our paths will converge again\u2014if not in this world, then the next.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A WITCH\u2026 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\u2019s planning to take back the Republic and reinstate a Reign of Witches, something Cressida needs Rune to accomplish.<br \/>A WITCH HUNTER\u2026 Apparently it wasn\u2019t enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; she\u2019s now betrayed him by allying herself with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon won\u2019t 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.<br \/>AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE\u2026 When Rune makes Gideon an offer he can\u2019t refuse, the two must pair up to accomplish dangerous goals. The more they\u2019re forced into each other\u2019s company, the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune aren\u2019t as dead and buried as he thought. Now he\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">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!! <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">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\u2019t even care that I knew where everything was going I was having a great time! I\u2019m not big on YA novels, but I ate this series up!\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/rebel-witch-by-kristen-ciccarelli\/\">Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli on February 18, 2025 Genres: Young Adult Fiction \/ Fantasy \/ Dark Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction \/ Fantasy \/ Historical, Young Adult Fiction \/ Fantasy \/ Romance Pages: 400 Format: Hardcover Buy on Amazon Goodreads \u201cSometimes our paths must diverge from those we love.
