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.

He frequently refers to himself as the Dark Passenger and it reminds me too much of "my inner goddess" from 50 shades of grey. Much better as a TV show. Found myself skimming paragraphs. Not well written and the author makes up phrases but then throws in a 5 star word. No thanks.

Nothing spectacular but an easy listen. From what I can remember it was super close to the first season! Felt quite nostalgic
