I recently (finally) started watching Dexter: New Blood, which is a solid continuation after a couple supremely disappointing seasons of the original run. I remember enjoying the first book, but having no urge to continue the series.

PaperbackPirate I'm about to start the final season of Dexter! 4d

Bookwomble I loved the Dexter TV show, and like you read the first novel and felt that was enough. 3d

Mehso-so

#doublespin this was a re-read for me & I stand by my original conclusion that this is a rare case of the tv show being better than the book. But, it was ok, and I will continue with the series!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 6mo

Suzze I have that blood specimen slide. It‘s a bookmark. I managed an indie bookstore when the series started and the bookmark (clear plastic) came with the arc. 7mo

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This is the eighth and final book in the Dexter series. The first six books in the series had so much dark humor and I really missed that in the last two. But it‘s still a pick because I‘d hate for Dexter‘s story to end on a sour note.

DieAReader 🥳Awesome! 10mo

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This is the seventh book in the Dexter series, and it‘s getting a little stale, and maybe Dexter is getting too long-winded. I don‘t think there‘s as much black humor as in previous books and I missed that. The humor was my favorite part of the series. But I‘m still giving this a pick because some momentous things happened. And it‘s also a huge cliffhanger leading into the final book.

Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 Not a series or author I know. 10mo
CatLass007 @Andrew65 Have you heard of the Showtime series Dexter? It aired on Prime TV for a while, which is where I watched it. Then they did a follow up series a couple of years ago and it all went back on Showtime. I‘ve never had Showtime.🤷‍♀️ I can‘t finish watching the original series or any of the new series. Dexter is a forensic analyst for the Miami police and also a serial killer who only kills other killers. It sounds strange but it works. 10mo
Andrew65 @CatLass007 Yes I think I‘ve heard of it but never actually seen it. I will explore and see if it is available in the U.K. Thanks for the information. 10mo

CatLass007 @Andrew65 You‘re welcome. I didn‘t realize you were in the UK. That‘s definitely a reason for you not to have heard of an American tv show. If I were you, I‘d try to read the books (in order) before watching the show. There are a lot of differences between the two but I think some of the roles were exceptionally well cast: Dexter, Deb, Vince in particular. Other characters were changed. Both media are excellent and tell different stories. 10mo
Andrew65 @CatLass007 Although I‘m in the U.K. I‘m sure the series played here thinking of it. Always better to read the books first. 10mo
CatLass007 @Andrew65 I agree that reading the book(s) first is always advisable. 10mo
DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳Great! 10mo

I‘m listening to the seventh and next to last book in the Dexter series. “The Princess Bride” reference was amusing and appreciated. I was quite surprised because I have a tough time imagining Dexter watching such a sweet movie.

#SeriesLove2024 The sixth book in the Dexter series was a bit too long but still enjoyable. Dexter is starting to experience human emotions and he thinks about them too much for my taste.

#SeriesLove2024 I finished this in 2023 but I‘m posting my review in 2024. I have one gripe about this. Maybe more than one but this is the only one I can think of. Everyone keeps referring to Debra‘s boyfriend as too old for her, as an old man. For Pete‘s sake! He‘s not even 40!! How old is Debra anyway? She holds the rank of sergeant. Twenty-somethings don‘t get promoted to the rank of sergeant. (cont)⬇️

CatLass007 Okay, rant over. In this book Dexter becomes a daddy. Does he actually grow a soul? I guess if Mazikeen can grow a soul on the TV show Lucifer, why not Dexter in this book series? What goes on inside Dexter‘s mind is still fiendishly funny. The book is a pick and so is the series. (edited) 10mo
