A. M. Rose’s Cursebreakers, Inc. series continues to be one of the most intriguing, surprising paranormal romance series I’ve read lately.
With each book and new case and romance, Rose expands on the magic system and universe that the series and characters inhabit. It just keeps getting better and darker, which makes sense considering that the focus of this series are horrendous curses.
Each story has a unique type of curse(s) that requires the ability of one of the group of found family of Cursebreakers here. The storyline revolves around the impact of upon those who are cursed and the individual Cursebreakers trying to figure out how to break them.
A Thousand Cuts is Fix’s story but that title belongs to the character who is cursed, Liam. Liam is a character briefly introduced in the last book when he comes looking for help at the wrong moment. It’s at a point where the entire group is trying desperately to help one of their own, Hart, in his own case and relationship with Cane.
Fix is a person who has a strong sense of guardianship, a need to protect and safeguard others. And spiraling if he feels like he’s failed. More about him and the group’s development is revealed in the story. But how Cursebreakers and their magical powers are developed from a very young age is a chilling story thread that Rose expands on with each character. We are talking extremely young ages when they are removed from their families because their powers present themselves and, as in Black’s case and probably others , it’s traumatic.
So every character is a flawed, powerful and unique personality that ends up with a romantic partner to match. Equally interesting, often damaging or dangerous, wild back story and as with Liam, comes with a twist.
And a great rescue dog, named King.
The curses and stalker case is realistic and frightening. The romance is a BDSM with a believable Daddy kink that suits both characters personalities. I got it immediately.
The best thing is how Rose wraps up the case, bringing Liam finally home to Fix, safe and curse free. Surprises !
And it brings back an overall series mystery that looks to be a subtle twist and thread. I honestly loved it.
Fantastic characters, great plot and dark arc and universe. Love it and highly recommended.

A Thousand Cuts (Cursebreakers, Inc. Book 3)
Blurb
Sometimes it feels like Fix’s entire life can be summed up with two simple words: wanting and waiting. Wanting a family. Wanting to belong. Wanting to protect. Wanting to love. And waiting endlessly to find it.
When a beautiful cam boy with a flurry of curses hanging over his head and a mysterious past asks for his help, Fix thinks all of the wanting and the waiting has come to an end.
Except Liam’s entire life can be summed up in just one word.
Running.
Running from his past. Running from a rain of curses. Running from unwanted eyes stalking him. Running from the cursebreaker who feels like he can be the perfect dadd—man for Liam. Offering him everything he’s ever wanted. Protection. Care. Love.
Will they be able to fit their jagged edges together? Or will the shadow lurking behind Liam swallow them whole?
