  11. I finished Dearly Devoted Dexter ~by~ Jeff Lindsay today. It was FANTASTIC! Synopsis courtesy of Waterstones Miami's best-dressed serial killer is back and on the prowl, at least he would be if he could shake off his permanent shadow. Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Dexter may well be the Miami PD's blood-spatter analyst, but Sgt. Doakes has a pretty good idea of how Dex likes to spend his free time and he's determined to catch him in the act. Dex hasn't killed in months and is getting twitchy. To throw Doakes off his scent, he's spending more time with Rita, his girlfriend. But no matter how many cosy nights they spend in front of the TV, Doakes is still watching. Then a body turns up, horribly mutilated and barely alive. To trap the torturer, Doakes and Dexter will have to work together, if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact and one of them will have to be the bait... I started reading this and found myself so into it pretty quickly, in fact I got a bit frustrated that I couldnt get reading it enough because 'life' got in the way! It follows straight on from Darkly Dreaming Dexter, with Dexter trying to carry on his perfectly normal life while in the meantime indulging in his rather strange pastime. He is a really likeable character with a great sense of humour, coming out with fantastic one liners the whole way through the book, even in times when a 'normal' person would know to keep their mouth ever so tightly shut! I was rooting for him the whole way through the book. The story is about a serial killer with revenge on his mind, although when I say killer I use the term very loosely, he tends to leave some of his victims still alive, but probably wishing they were dead. Its pretty gory I have to say, just the sort of thing I like but the descriptions of the victims by Dexter I have to admit had me laughing out loud. Another twist in the tale is that Dexter may have found This book is not rocket science, its not hard work to read and it has a simple easy to follow storyline. But I loved it. I would describe it as a black comedy. It totally entertained me which is what I think a book should do and even at the end of the book I found myself wanting to read more of Dexter. I dare say it won't be long before I get my hands on the follow up Dexter in the Dark and then Dexter by Design! Another great 10/10!
  12. I don't get migraines but I do suffer from sinus headaces and the pain is right behind the eyes and above the nose. They are awful and can last for days on end. It feels like the whole front of your face is so sore right through to your teeth and jaw. I have to take a steriod nasal spray every day to keep the sinuses from becomming inflamed and if I get one I take a decongestant along with painkillers. If anyone else gets these I'd love to hear of any tips to ease them!
