Interview with Ivy Davis, Author of Darkest Sin

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Darkest Sin?

I love writing mafia romance novels, and I wanted to write one that explores the desire between pain and pleasure. I always love writing a classic good girl meets bad boy story, and this one is no exception.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Darkest Sin, what would they be?

This is sort of a silly one, and it’s probably because I’m currently obsessed with K-pop Demon Hunters like everyone else, but the song “Your Idol.” Granted, the song itself is about demons, haha. But it’s also about becoming obsessed with one person that you see as not even human. This book captures some of that feeling of becoming consumed by another person and seeing the dark desires within them.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I honestly love all genres. I purposefully rotate between them, so I’ll read a romance book one week, then a thriller the next, and then a historical drama after that—so I never get bored with any one genre.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The next book in my TBR pile is The Favorites by Layne Fargo.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

My favorite scene to write was the meeting of Natalya and Mikhail, the main characters. It’s kind of sexy but also mysterious. I love writing scenes like that.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I mostly stick to a schedule when writing that I know keeps me on track. I always outline my books, so that helps guarantee I’ll write. But I’m pretty boring when it comes to fun, quirky things. I just need my fingers and my laptop, and I’m off to write.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

My motto is one chapter at a time. I just focus on that, and I’m able to write as much as I can.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I would choose for readers to remember that it’s okay to explore your hidden desires (within reason, of course). Never feel ashamed of the things that you need in life.
