Maneater

In **Maneater by Ellie Graves**, a sharply observed **femgore thriller** sinks its teeth into London’s fine-dining scene, blending kitchen ambition with body-horror bite and deliciously dark humour.

Renee has finally escaped a dead-end chicken shop, scoring a junior chef role at immaculate NOVA. It should be her big break—until she realises the real pull of the place is its executive chef, Gracie Fitzgerald. Gracie is brilliant, magnetic, and unnervingly private, running her kitchen with rules that feel less like standards and more like warnings: no bare hands in her workspace, no one tasting her signature plates, and absolutely no one going near her personal freezer. As Renee pushes for belonging and recognition, the price of proximity starts to look disturbingly literal.

Perfect for readers who love **women-led horror**, **dark satire**, **revenge**, and **London** settings, especially if you enjoy stories where power, hunger, and obsession blur.

Step into NOVA and see what’s really on the menu.
