“'Dearly Devoted Dexter', the second book in the Dexter series, followed on very differently to the first and takes a very different direction to the TV show. I quite enjoyed the different possibility of events and scenarios, as well as the darker and much more brutal Dexter, which the book portrays. I look forward to reading the third book and seeing further, just where the story goes.”

Our favorite good serial killer accidently gets engaged to his girlfriend. Funniest book so far I find. Lots of car chases, missing limbs.
My fave out of the series so far.”
“I heard it is a really good book because it had a lot of blood and murders”

“The story of Dexter Morgan continues...a nice guy who just happens to be a serial killer. A police blood spatter analyst during the day and a homicidal maniac by night. In this story, Dexter grows increasing aggravated by Sergeant Doakes' fascination with him. Dexter is forced to lie low, slipping deeper and deeper into a domestic life with Rita and her children (Cody and Astor). Meanwhile, his "dark passenger" continues to call...and when a new psychopath begins terrorizing Miami it almost becomes too much for him to bear. Can our dearly devoted Dexter find his "freedom again?" Great book, and Nick Landrum does a fantastic job with the audio!”

“A good follow-up to the first novel. Differs from the TV series being a bit darker.

An enjoyable read”
“ The novel “Dearly Devoted Dexter” by Jeff Lindsay is a suspenseful and thrilling novel. This book is a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the novel because of the most interesting plot, I do have to say it did get a bit boring a times but then it picks right up. My favorite part of the book is when Dexter was in the deep dark everglades, Jeff Lindsay actually made it feel like I was there I could vividly picture driving up to the gate going through carefully and shuttering an I hear Danco leaving. The main character Dexter Morgan is a mainly a protagonist but at some points is also an antagonist at the same time which may make the plot a bit more difficult to follow for the younger crowd of readers. Dexter tells this story from a first person point of vie and at some points you get very deep and enveloped in his complicated thoughts. Dexter works for the Miami-Dade Police Department but in his free time when his “Dark Passenger” summons him, will kill, which, if you like a suspenseful read, will indubitably keep you intrigued the entire novel. One other thing that makes this book interesting is Dexter is such a complex character he considers himself in human and a monster, but this effects his thoughts and when he uses his dark sense of humor it will most defiantly keep you intrigued. This novel I would suggest to a predominantly male crowd because of the gore and the fact that is a murder mystery, but who am I to say you will like a certain book. The plot is very well developed and if like a thriller and mystery it will keep you guessing until the very end. In conclusion I would give this book an seven and a half out of ten because to keep me interested in a book it needs to grab my attention and keep pulling me back in.”

“A much more developed plot than the first novel, Dearly Devoted Dexter was a lot of fun to read. The story is intense, and often disturbing. The writing is filled with sickening images, but Dexter's voice never breaks from being humorous. I couldn't put the book down, and managed to finish it in a day.”
