Caleb

By: Jeff Menapace

Narrated by: Gary Tiedemann

Caleb Lambert kills people for a living. The money is nice, but it comes a distant second to his primary reason for choosing such a vocation: Caleb often calls it “scratching an itch”.

Here’s the thing, though: Caleb won’t just accept any contract. He and his team thoroughly vet each and every prospective mark to make sure they deserve to be punished.

And why not? If anyone knows about true evil in this world, it’s Caleb Lambert. Along with his family, Caleb endured hell at the hands of multiple serial killers throughout his childhood, twisting his young mind into the mess it is today. Forever installed that need to “scratch an itch”.

And Caleb is frequently itchy, and business is good. But when a new job comes across his desk, Caleb’s entire world is turned upside down. The job appears to hold so many similarities to his past that he finds it all but impossible to turn down. An impulsive decision that could cost him dearly.

Author’s note: Caleb is a spin-off of the Bad Games series; however it is a stand-alone novel, and it is not necessary to have read/listened to the Bad Games series to enjoy.

Excellent!

I was intrigued by the book description, so I bought into the first of the series. I was not disappointed. Great narrator, intriguing story and main character. I recommend this book, and the series. After finishing this book I purchased the next two in the series. I typically would not spend a credit on a book less than 10 hours in length, but I am not disappointed to have done so.

Must read/Listen

Jeff Manpace always dilivers in his writing. Gary Tiedemann always makes his writing come to life. These two are by far my most listened to audible books. Anything with these two working together is gold.

Good read with a hint of psychopathy

Enjoyed the book, most of the time. I’m convicted the author is a serial killer hiding in plain sight. The plot is good, but so much of the execution is about maiming people. Almost stopped reading it but decided to finish. Again good read but the serial killer ideology is a bit much. Almost preachy about it.

Fantastic

First time reading this author and I freaking loved it! Going to buy book 2 in the series right now I've got to have more Caleb and Rosko

Loving it

Loving it. Very good spin on the Dexter type storyline. Can’t wait for the next book.

AWESOME BOOK!

If you read the "Bad Game" series (which I highly recommend) you will enjoy this book. I thought the story line was excellent and I absolutely can not wait for a sequel, if there will be one. Caleb definitely deserves a series of his own. Have my fingers crossed!
Jeff Menapace knows how to keep your interest and I look forward to reading many of his other books.

Damn good

This was probably my favorite book out of The Bad Games series related books. I’m really hoping we get more from the series.

Peculiar

It is well written for sure. But It made me feel very uncomfortable. I had to listen in small bits. Some of the story was quite sickening & some of it made me smile. The narrator is excellent. Perhaps that’s why I continued. Not my kind of story at all.

Another great book

Great narrators, loved the story, my 6th book by this author..Exceptional all around!! off to read his next book

Loved Caleb and his crew..

Wow! What a good book. As blood thirsty as Caleb was I just loved him. After all, he only killed the people who needed to die. Unlike the other killers who would kill for the money, even when they went after Caleb. That's what most of the book was about: five killers that were all hired to kill Caleb, in a little town he grew to like a little too much.

It was a good book but real bloody. And I read a reviewer who said that another book was more gory than it was scary. SO, I won't be reading any more of this author, as good as this book was.

Some sex, but not too descriptive and the F-bomb was used 139 times.

As for the narration: Simply awesome. I've never heard this narrator before but I am going to see what else he's read. His voices and emotions were fabulous.
