3.0
“Dexter” is one of my favorite TV shows (minus the last season) and I love co-author Brynne’s book, “Butcher and Blackbird” a lot, so I decided to give this one a shot despite the TW.
The parts that I enjoyed the most were directly related to the cat and mouse games between the main characters and the bigger threat at play. I had a harder time with main characters’ relationship pivoting/evolving. It seemed really abrupt at first and kind of shocking? To then have it be tender within days also seemed… unrealistic of both their personalities consider the walls they both had built.
