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.

Best Series Ever!

From the moment I saw Caleb advertised I knew I’d love it. I started the Bad Games series first and I do not regret it. The Caleb series adds more to the adventure

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.

Feels a bit like the Punisher

If you want graphic violence, this may be your book. I thought it was pretty good, but found it a bit too predictable for a higher rating. Still, it was fun and rather satisfying if you are the kind who likes the Punisher.

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
