This book was not that good! Not nearly creepy/gory enough to live up to its premise and the twist ending was, like, surprise nonsense. I liked the first season of the show when I watched it and remember it being better than this book. Also this book is crazy horny in a distracting sexist way.

It has a very racist and sexist framing.

This book was adapted very well as the TV series Dexter. Some of it was adapted line by line

except of course for what happened with Laguerta and Deb finding out
