Dexter is a clean neat serial killer who lived by the rule of Harry, his adopted father, to kill only bad guys. The bad guys who killed children is exceptionally high on Dexter's list. Dexter is also a forensic lab tech working for the police along side his sister Deborah. So when Dexter f...

Well this was not quite the way I was expecting the series to go. I’m not so sure I really liked the supernatural-like elements. I did like Dex’s sense of humor. I laughed out loud a few times. His relationship with the children and his sister is interesting also. I’m continuing the series for s...

Day three of my Dexter Morgan marathon, and Book Three is done. I might actually do this Seven Books in Seven Days Challenge. Yay me. *cue crickets and awkward glances*I think I'm in the minority when I say that I liked this one very much, but I know why most readers (or, if you prefer, fans of this...

From the way Dexter refers to the Dark Passenger in earlier books it's almost as if he's a seperate entity. This takes that idea and creates a back-story for his Dark Passenger. In this story there are bodies turning up, burnt and headless and when Dexter goes to the first crime scene he loses his...

I read the first Dexter book around the time that I started watching the TV show. I love the TV show. Michael C Hall is a phenomenal actor and Dexter is one of my favourite TV shows because of Hall. The books however are just 'good' and not a patch on the TV show. They aren't terrible however, as th...

Much as I liked the first books, this one veered unexpectedly into some rather strange areas leaving me a little less enthusiastic about the rest of the series. To be fair, the book is definitely suspenseful with a good plot, just very different than the prior books. I'll give the next book a try ...

Far above the aimless scurrying of the city IT watched, and IT waited. There was plenty to see, as always, and IT was in no hurry. IT had done this many time before, and would do so again, endlessly and forever. That was what IT was for. Right now there were so many different choices to consider, an...

It's actually the last book in the series* I've read - at the time, I decided not to keep up with it. The book is good, but not that good. Or maybe I've simply grown weary with the overall theme and the main character. Not sure, actually - which is quite telling on it's own... --- * there have been...

This is my least favourite book in the Dexter series. There is something about Dexter being scared that just doesn't sit well with me. It makes him far too human, which really takes away his whole appeal. The reason that Dexter is so appealing to readers is that he is not like us. He is not boun...

Not my favourite of the Dexter novels, I found the ultimate conclusion to be a bit much and hard to take seriously. Still, it was interesting on the way to get there. Three and a half stars rounded up to four.
