Description
Zeke is a dark novel of sexual obsession, psychological manipulation, and looming peril.
Sue Cox is a naive college student who falls for the exciting new clerk at the local used bookstore. Captivated by Zeke’s brooding good looks and menacing but irresistible charisma, Sue capitulates to his will, leaving her wide open for exploitation. Zeke begins to exert subtle control and entices her to leave town with him. As they travel, his behavior grows more deviant and increasingly volatile.
After Sue’s car is found deserted in an outlying cemetery, the police dismiss her parents’ concerns since it appears Sue left willingly. The Coxes immediately hire William Falstaff, a small-town private investigator. He begins his inquiry with only two objectives. First, to verify that Sue’s departure is voluntary. And second, to provide her family with information on her whereabouts. A simple case. However, he soon finds himself locked into a chase to save Sue’s life. Will he find her in time or will she become another victim of a cunning sociopath?
Advisory: Zeke contains sexual situations and violence.
Review
One of my friends that knows I love dark reads saw this and told me about it thinking I might like it. I do love the dark ones. I'm no stranger to the freaks and the psychos, but usually they have a certain romance factor. Zeke is EVIL.
When I first started reading it, I thought this isn't dark. Pfft. It starts out, idiot girl falling for master manipulator guy, Wha-wha-wha. But after she leaves with him, the story turns from potential dark fantasy to an inside scoop of my life with a sick fuck.

| The Sucking Sue (a poem from Zeke to Sue) my original fan pic |
This book was so unlike anything I've read in...I don't even know. I was surprised by it and way beyond interested. I definitely could not put it down. It was like watching some episode of craziness on A&E except being behind the scenes, inside what really went down. I never knew what was going to happen next. Like total...just wow.
So much random insanity is in this book that I can't even explain it. If you lika-tha-darka for realz, this shiz is for you. But as I stated before, Zeke is not a prince in disguise. This is not a love story. Zeke is my first time with these authors, and I plan to revisit.
