About this ebook

Bram Stoker Award ® Nominated Author

Need to hide something from the fae?
Got a tricky trans-dimensional delivery to make?
Need a big ball of magic that can destroy the world?
Call Black Box Inc.

The world as we know it is gone. Since the "extradimensional happening," every creature, monster, and fairy tale goblin has turned Asheville, North Carolina, into their personal playground. An uneasy truce exists between the races, but Chase Lawter's unique ability puts him squarely in the crosshairs of treachery, feuds, and monsters looking to make a buck on black market goods. Chase is the only known being who can pull material from between dimensions and shape it into whatever he likes--like boxes. Like boxes in which folks hide smoking guns and severed heads. Only Chase can hide the boxes, and only Chase can recover them from the Dim. All for a tidy sum, of course.

His crack team--a yeti, a zombie, and a fae-trained assassin--have his back. What could possibly go wrong?

    ScrabblingYou know that sound your dog's nails make when he tries to get up and run fast on a wooden floor? That sound that fantasy books call "scrabbling" when the monsters are coming? It's also a good word to describe the writing in this book. Lots of fast movement with a fair amount of noise, but not much progress.Mr. Bible's attempt at an urban fantasy breeziness is too wordy for me. Sometimes he slides the plot kernel into the midst of a crowd scene and I miss it entirely. I prefer more tightness.I received a review copy of "Black Box Inc.: Black Box Inc. Series, Book 1" by Jake Bible (BelleBooks) through NetGalley.com.

    Black Box Inc.Black Box Inc. Series, Book 1By: Jake BibleNarrated by: J. Scott BennettI had read this book before when it first came out but forgot to write a review, although I reviewed book 2. When I had the chance to get an audible book I tried and got one! Thanks! It was nice to hear it instead of reading it. The main character is Chase and he runs a unique service. He stores things for people. No one can get what he stores because he has the ability to reach into the depths of between dimensions. He calls it the Dim. He forms a box out of the Dim then puts the item in the box and stores the box in the Dim.Mr Bible goes even further into the imagination land (which I love!). Chase's associates include a zombie, a Yeti, and a gal raise by warrior fae. Now forget about other stories of zombies/yeti because we are talking about Bible here. These are NOT what you would expect.Nor would you expect changlings, a face growing on someone's back, and much more! See what you're missing? It is a wild fun ride into the crazy zone and I love every page/minute of it! Witty, clever, mysteries of a strange kind, great characters, and wonderful world building!The narrator was great too! Solid performance!!!
