 * It has been noted by many players that it appears the book has made some strong parallels to a fellow supernatural series, The Vampire Diaries, and The Originals.
 * For instance, the character Katherine in Nightbound looks, acts, and shares the exact same name as Katherine from The Vampire Diaries.
 * Furthermore, the book also follows a character, Nik, which is short for Niklaus, and the series The Originals stars a character named Klaus, whose brother and confidant is named Elijah.

Bound by fate. Bound by night. Bound by desire."
 * This is a first for any book in the Choices App Catalogue.
 * Chapter 12 contains references to Game of Thrones: Your Character asks Katherine if the Fae are "a bunch of Lannisters", and Nik reveals his alias "Carl Drogo" (in reference to Khal Drogo) in a premium scene.
 * In the same conversation with Katherine, the two of you talk about the Borgias, the Tudors, and the Xia; all of which were at one point long-standing dynasties forever recorded in history.
 * On July 5, 2019, PB answered the players regarding the sudden change of the cover and chapter 1's descriptions, saying that the book didn't reach a wide audience as they were hoping it would. As a result, they are trying to bring more people to the story by doing these changes. They also stated that they are "giving it a fighting chance because it deserves it".
 * On July 8, 2019, a sneak peek for Chapter 13 was released.
 * In a premium scene of Bloodbound, Book 2, Chapter 9, The Graveyard Shift - one of the locations featured in Nightbound - is mentioned in Serafine Dupont's notes.
