‘Innamorata’ Author on That Shocking Ending, Book 2 Plans and Why She’d Prefer a ‘Castlevania’-Style Adaptation to Live Action

Ava Reid's latest novel, “Innamorata,” ended with a surprising twist, with the main character, Agnes, being slaughtered and posthumously raped by her love Liuprand, then left dead in the bowels of Castle Crudele. The author revealed that she would pay a $1,000 bank transfer to any reader who could predict this ending. Reid, who has completed a new draft of the sequel to ‘InnamOrata’, doesn't plan on a live-action adaptation due to the book's classic fantasy aesthetic. She credits Minoan culture, Greek tragedy, and elements of ‘The Oresteia’ strongly in the Agnes-Marozia-Liuprand love triangle.
