I Want You More
by Swan Huntley
I Want You More pulls you into the strange, unsettling world of Zara Pines, a woman adrift after her father's death. She takes a ghostwriting job for celebrity chef Jane Bailey and soon finds herself living in Jane's luxurious East Hampton home. What begins as a professional arrangement quickly turns into something far more disturbing. You'll feel the slow, creeping dread as Zara, desperate for a sense of self, begins to shed her own identity and absorb Jane's. This isn't a fast-paced thriller; it's a deeply psychological descent, a tense exploration of obsession, power dynamics, and the disturbing ways one person can subsume another. It's for readers who enjoy a quiet, pervasive tension and stories that make you question what's real, especially when secrets are bubbling just beneath the surface.
