Can a Blood Hunter / Bard use Blood Curse of the Eyeless and Cutting Words on the same attack roll?

I've seen a reactionary curse that says you roll your hemocraft die to reduce an attack roll that you can see. Since this and the Lore Bard's use of Bardic Inspiration work mechanically the same via Cutting Words and uses a resource, could/should it be used in the same reaction to reduce a roll?

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll one hemocraft die and subtract the number rolled from the creature’s attack roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature’s roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll succeeds. The creature is immune if it is immune to blindness. Amplify. You apply this curse to all of the creature’s attack rolls until the end of the turn. You roll a new hemocraft die for each affected attack.

I was somewhat underwhelmed by "Blood Curse of the Eyeless". While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell flat. The writing was mediocre, with little attention to detail and numerous grammatical errors. The characters lacked depth and were difficult to relate to, and the plot lacked coherence and consistency. However, I will say that there were a few moments of suspense and tension that kept me mildly interested. Overall, this book had potential but failed to deliver.
