I'm Cursed
My “Dizzy, time to get the heck out of dodge” senses are well-honed, so can you blame a gal for pounding pavement when a herd of hunks are hot on her trail?
Okay, maybe you can. Maybe it’s your dream to get tackled by a heaping helping of beefcake; hopelessly pinned beneath them, at the mercy of multiple sets of hands and lips and eyes trapping you and demanding attention. Me? I just want to make it through the day without doing too much damage.
Tornados, sinkholes, lightning strikes, explosions, a drain pipe full of bees… I’ve been there though them all. But it’s not my fault!
You see, I’m cursed to always be cursed. Somebody wants to get revenge on you when I’m in town? Well TOUGH LUCK because they’re getting revenge on me instead! Thank you for that weekend of all-foods-are-extra-spicy, unknown stranger. No, that’s okay, person-who-tried-to-make-someone-else-unable-to-wear-clothes-ever-again, I don’t mind a fine breeze between my lady bits. And to you, asshole casserole who tried to literally kill me last week? Well… you can get bent. That’s honestly just rude.
Usually my curse comes with a side of disaster, and after really, really hurting more than one person. well. I’ve been on a never-ending, cross-country, don’t-look-back-just-keep-on-running-away tour for pretty much forever. Sure, it’s lonely, but never setting down roots means never getting caught, or killed. At least I’ve got my furry best friend Aria-don’t know what I’d do without her.
Per usual, my hotel just happened to burn down this morning so it looks like I’d best get to gettin’ while the gettin’s still good, ya get it? Just one itsy-bitsy-teensie-weensie-purple-haired-and-no-bikini problem…. I may have accidentally sort of kind of tied myself to those hunks I mentioned earlier and may or may not literally be unable to go anywhere without at least one of them. Oops! And maybe I sort of kind of like them enough to not want them to get murdered in my superstorm of chaos. Double oops.
Sigh. Friggin’ Tuesdays, am I right?
This is a medium burn paranormal reverse harem romance with explicit scenes of violence, sex (all sex in this book is consensual), and abuse that may be triggering for some. There is mild M/M included in this book and will progress as the story does. It is the first book in a series within an overall world epic, but it does not end in a cliffhanger. Hope happily for now is your jam! Please be aware that this is recommended for readers 18+

Reviews for "The Story Behind the Creation of "My Curse"
1. Hannah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Lines my curse" by Killswitch Engage. The lyrics felt lackluster and repetitive, and I found myself losing interest quickly. The song lacked the energy and intensity that I usually associate with the band, and I was left feeling underwhelmed. I'm a huge fan of their earlier work, but this track just didn't do it for me.
2. Mike - 2/5 - I have to say, "Lines my curse" by Killswitch Engage is a letdown for me. The instrumentals were too generic and predictable, and I was hoping for something more innovative from the band. The vocals also felt uninspired and didn't captivate me like their previous material. Overall, this song didn't stand out to me and failed to leave a lasting impression.
3. Emily - 1/5 - "Lines my curse" by Killswitch Engage was a complete miss for me. The production quality felt subpar, and I couldn't connect with the lyrics or the overall message of the song. The track lacked originality and felt like a recycled version of their older music. It's a shame because I used to be a fan, but this release just solidified my disappointment. I hope they can recapture their magic in future releases.
