Dear Darkly Dreaming Dexter,
I am a huge Dexter fan, so I am not sure why you say on my TBR shelf for so long. It was so interesting and fun to jump inside Dexter's head. I loved that you gave me a perspective I didn't get from the TV show. The only thing that I wasn't a huge fan of is the fact that I kept picturing the show characters instead of the way they were described in the book. Whenever I need a return to dark and twisty and nostalgic, I will pick up the next book in your series!

Just a heads up, this is a dark book. It’s not the cheeky funny book you’re probably expecting if you’ve seen the show. Dexter is a legit serial killer and a very bad person.

It was very interesting to read the books to the tv show. The book was amazing. Very different from the tv show in an amazing way. They add so much into the show. I cannot wait to pick up dearly devoted dexter and see how it pans out.
