Bestseller!
An Instant Indie Bestseller!
Indigo's #1 Best Teen Book of 2024
She Reads Best Young Adult of 2024 Award "An addictive romantic
fantasy about the cat-and-mouse game between a witch and a witch
hunter that develops into something more, Heartless Hunter seems
destined to be one of the buzziest releases of winter. (The
chemistry! Whew!)" - Paste "This fantasy take on The Scarlet
Pimpernel smoothly spools out a complex plot, and the perspective
changes heighten the tension ... The dizzying finale promises a
sequel." - Booklist "Ciccarelli persuasively imbues each side of
the conflict with complexity, depicting both as being neither
wholly good nor evil. The protagonists' strong chemistry unfolds at
a tense and steady pace in this high-stakes romantasy." -
Publishers Weekly "An addictive first installment that sets readers
up for a series full of magic and romance." - Kirkus "Fans of the
enemies-to-lovers trope will not be able to put this book down..
Ciccarelli creates a world that will immediately immerse readers."
- School Library Journal "Heartless Hunter is a stunning YA fantasy
that combines unforgettable characters, thought-provoking themes,
and a thrilling romance into a heart-wrenching and consuming story.
Highly recommend picking this one up, especially if you enjoyed
Divine Rivals, The Shadows Between Us, and/or To Kill a Kingdom." -
YA Books Central "A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and
witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets,
and bloody history. I couldn't look away." - Kendare Blake, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Champion of Fate "This was just
the book for me. Dark, romantic, and brimming with forbidden magic,
Heartless Hunter masterfully captures being caught between
seduction and subterfuge. My heart was racing!" - Rachel Gillig, #1
New York Times bestselling author of The Knight and the Moth "Could
not put it down...It's the sexy witchy lady PIMPERNEL retelling we
all deserve." -Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling author of The
Court of Miracles "Kristen Ciccarelli bewitched me with raw
storytelling talent! Heartless Hunter is a gritty caper and a
delectable enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance rolled into one. From
the high-stakes intrigue, to the rich world-building, to the
enthralling magic system, to the toe-curling tension between two
striking characters who are destined to be foes but can't keep
their hands (and hearts) to themselves--there is nothing about this
book that I don't fervently adore." - Thea Guanzon, New York Times
bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars "I loved this book so
much! It was so gorgeously written and at points you could cut the
tension with a knife. It was so propulsive and powerful, and I
thought the Scarlett Pimpernel-re-imagining element was utter
genius. An enchantingly written, high-stakes romantasy with a
pulse-racing plot - I was captivated." -Natasha J. Hastings, author
of How to Charm a Viscount "[A] spell-binding fantasy romance with
twists, turns, and an irresistible forbidden love. Between the
intricate and unique magic system, an addictive enemies-to-lovers
romance, and a stunning world filled with intrigue, Ciccarelli
weaves a tale that is impossible to put down. With complex, morally
grey characters you can't help but root for, I was left thinking
about Rune and Gideon long after I turned the last page." -
Elizabeth Helen, author of Beasts of the Briar series "Enchanting
and deeply romantic, Heartless Hunter drew me in with the first
sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds
like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart." -
Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine
Rivals
"Tense and bloody, with a steamy undercurrent, dark luxury and
decadent world building, Ciccarelli has created a cutthroat world
of forbidden magic that will become your new favourite
enemies-to-lovers Romantasy. This is enemies-to-lovers done right,
and after that ending, I can't wait for book two." - Megan Scott,
author of A Temptation of Magic "Heartless Hunter is my favorite
kind of fantasy: sizzling with romance and banter between enemies
caught in a dangerous world." - Emily Thiede, author of This
Vicious Grace Praise for Edgewood: "Precise in construction and
style, with an elegant and eerie music motif, this easily earns a
place on Stiefvater fans' TBR lists." - The Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books (starred review) "Characters are the highlight
of Ciccarelli's novel as she explores communities--the kind you're
born into and the ones you build for yourself--by building
families, friendships, and romances that will sweep readers
away...whimsical and threatening." - School Library Journal
"Edgewood has everything I love in a Kristen Ciccarelli book:
lyrical prose, a romance that will hurt, and themes rooted in raw
and intimate questions, making for a timeless tale." - Joan He, New
York Times bestselling author of The Ones We're Meant to Find "With
gorgeous writing and a strong female lead, Edgewood is a tale for
anyone who loves their fantasies lush, dark, and romantic. I could
have remained lost in the woods forever." - Isabel Ibañez, author
of Woven In Moonlight and Written in Starlight
