This episode is officially my longest one yet… and honestly? Worth every second 🔥

I sat down with author Amanda Sinatra and we got into EVERYTHING! From her dark paranormal worlds filled with demons, secrets, and forbidden love… to her unexpected romcom release that had us both spiraling a little 👀

We talk about:

• Her Deck of Scarlets series and the darker side of her writing
• The chaos (and fun) of her romcom era
• Street team life (yes, I’m on it 😏)
• Books, events, and what it’s really like behind the scenes as an author

This episode feels like sitting down and just talking books.. a little chaotic, a little unhinged, and completely honest.

If you love dark romance, paranormal secrets, and getting to know the author behind the pages… this one’s for you.

This week on Bound In Dark Ink, I’m joined by author Nicole M. Rubino, the mind behind the dark fantasy romance trilogy Monstrous.

We dive into feminine rage, powerful female friendships, and the beauty of women reclaiming their stories, especially when those stories are rooted in myth, revenge, and monsters.

Her world is inspired by the descendants of the women of Greek mythology — cursed, silenced, and rewritten… until now.

And when I asked her to describe her series in one brutal sentence?

“Women who eat their men.”

Yeah. You already know this one is going to hit.

If you love dark fantasy, romance, and stories where women take their power back in the most unapologetic ways — this episode is for you.
