Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay No. of pages: 296 Rating: 5/5 Series: Dexter (Book 2) Synopsis: 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... Review: Dexter's back, but this time he's under constant surveillance from Sgt. Doakes, who is sure he's up to something. So Dexter turns to a 'normal' life, spending more time with girlfriend Rita and her two children. But when another serial killer moves to town and Rita starts thinking things are more serious between them, Dexter starts to feel incredibly suffocated... I really enjoyed this one, especially as I didn't know any of the storyline from the TV show. I really like Dexter, and I find it weird that I can really like a serial killer, but he's so nice for a bad guy and you can't help finding him kind of cute, and pretty funny at times too. The storyline regarding the new killer was really good too, and pretty brutal when it came to the victims, which even I found slightly shocking and I've read lots of thrillers in the past. This is definitely my favourite so far and I can't wait to read the other two in the series!

IT remembered a sense of surprise, and then falling, but that was all. Jeff Lindsay - Dexter In The Dark

I don't specifically choose male or female, but looking at my favourite books and authors, it's very clearly females more than males.

Hope you enjoy it Mac I'm shooting through the second one, I've not been feeling at all like reading lately, but Dexter is dragging me kicking and screaming into book land because I just can't put it down I'm glad that this book has a storyline that's not on the show, so I don't know what's coming, and I can't wait to see what happens at the end of Dearly Devoted

Chinese pork chops with egg fried rice

That's what we had tonight

There's going to be 2 films of the final book, god knows why! I guess one film will be all the fantastically exciting tent action, and then the other will be the ending, seems daft though!

I didn't realise Yes Man was a book, the film was really good though, so I may have to get it

I really loved this one, I think it was one of my faves from the series although they're all so good

Thanks everyone Enjoy the Spindler books if you end up ordering some Frankie x

They are all great pipread, but if you enjoyed copycat, which is one of my favourites by her, then you'd like See Jane Die, which is my other favourite one by her

They are Chrissy And I think you'd enjoy it Stephanie

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay No. of pages: 275 Rating: 4.5/5 Series: Dexter (Book 1) Synopsis: Dexter Morgan appears to be the perfect gentleman. He leads a normal, quiet life working as a forensic officer for the Miami Police. He has a nice, shy girlfriend and is liked by her young children. But Dexter has a secret hobby. He's an accomplished serial killer. So far he's killed dozens of people and has never been caught, because he knows exactly how to dispose of the evidence. And there are those who would rather he wasn't caught at all, because Dexter is a serial killer with a difference. He only kills the city's bad guys. Then Dexter's well-organised life is thrown into chaos. Another serial killer is invading his territory - and he wants Dexter to come out and play... Review: Dexter Morgan, blood splatter analyst during the day and serial killer at night. But a serial killer with a twist, he only kills bad guys that deserve it. However, when another serial killer encroaches on his turf and starts playing games with him, how is it all going to end? I've seen the Dexter tv show, so knew pretty much all of this story, even the twist at the end. However, there are some things that are in the book that are not in the tv show, so there were a few bits which were new, and I found that overall, the book sheds more light on Dexter as a person, rather than Dexter the serial killer, which I really enjoyed. I can't wait to read on in the series, but I'm hoping that there will be storylines in the books that I haven't seen on the show!

August, it's already being talked about in the films you want to see thread.

*cheers on Kookie*

Yay, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I can only say the rest of the series just gets better!

Yay!! SO glad you enjoyed it! I've just ordered replacements for the other two I told you about ~ See Jane Die (one of her best imo!) and In Silence, if you're still interested, they're all yours and I'll post them back with the Dexter books
