Once Bitten (Cursebreakers, Inc. Book 4)

I have loved every book in this series. While childhood friends to lovers and second chance romance are two tropes I generally don't like, A.M. Rose's execution and subversion of tropes alongside the fantastical mystery of it all makes Once Bitten a very enjoyable romantic mystery. Each book in this series feels very unique while still connecting to an overarching plot. I love how the authors have built their world and magic system to the point that it makes total sense even when each book also introduces some new discovery about that same magic system. Even though the mystery plot of the story wasn't as mind-blowing in my opinion, it's just because the bar has been set so high in their other books! There was still plenty of suspense and the way everything tied in to the larger plot perfectly sets up the next book. Each of the books follows one cursebreaker from a team of misfit cursebreakers. Once Bitten is about Wren, the cursed animal specialist. At the end of a previous book, he sees someone that he was close to at Nexus and you can tell that there is something up. Both Wren and Teddy were shaken to see each other and we quickly find out that it's because they were involved. But it's a huge rule for cursebreakers that they can't have any romantic connection to another cursebreaker and there would be major consequences if higher ups knew. The authors really drive home just how impossible Wren and Teddy's relationship feels based on the system they grew up in and it's…

4,5 ⭐️🫶 I have always been a fan of AM Rose and the way they write these stories, and this book is no exception. This is Book 4 on the Cursebreakers Inc. Series and they should be read in order, because all of these stories are part of an overarching plot. Now, Wren and Teddy ! <3 I honestly loved these babies so much and this has been a second chance romance written to perfection. I've always been a fan of longing and yarning and this book just delivers those feelings beautifully. The way you can feel from the very first pages how Wren was yarning for Teddy is heartbreaking. This is the perfect black cat (I only love animals and very few people) vs his equally obsessed protector, who are standing against the world itself to defend and solidify their bond.

I have read all four books the last two days and need the next one!!!! I highly recommend this series.
