It was nice to see the birth of his kid prompting Dexter to want to change into someone normal instead of just pretending to be. All in all this was a good book if a little predictable. I will say that I am officially sick of Debra. She has absolutely no sympathy or remorse for any trouble Dexter gets involved in (most of it is because she forces him into it). In fact, she treats him more like a tool to use whenever she wants rather than a brother. Dexter should have let Brian kill her. ( )

I read this book quickly, in a little over a day. It was fast and entertaining, with a very creepy villain this time. Dexter spends quite a bit of time musing over his new daughter, Lily Anne, and at times I wished he would stop talking about her and start fighting the bad guys. I also like the scenes with Cody and Astor, and wish we could find out more about their time with Uncle Brian. They should get their own book someday. Despite Dexter seeming so wishy washy about his dark passenger, there was still a lot of violence in the book. Rita did seem a little more annoying than I remember. Overall, I enjoyed reading this and think fans of the previous Dexter books will like it too. ( )

Dexter has a baby? Weeeeeiiiirrrrd. But excellent as always, as he struggles with what would probably be a conscience in any other normal person and a pack of cannibalistic vampires. Hilarious. ( )

I love Dexter. Witty and dark but not for everyone. ( )

I really liked this book. Once again Jeff has created Dexter to be the lovable psychopath, but this time Dexter is a dad.

I had just finished this book when I got Jeff to sign it and ask him a couple of questions. One of the things about Dexter that I've always found is that he seems to be less intelligent than he tells us he is. Jeff confirmed this to me and with his writing with this book. It adds another layer of depth to Dexter.

As for the latest Dexter book, it was great. The topic of this book was something I have researched for my own writing and Jeff really has hit the mark once again. I feel like I should end with an alliteration, but that really is plagiarism. ( )

Book description
Dexter Morgan’s neatly organized life as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police, devoted husband and father, and killer of only those who deserve it is turned upside down by the arrival of his new daughter, Lily Anne. Feeling surprisingly sunny and loving, he’s trying to suppress the influence of his Dark Passenger—the voice inside who guides his homicidal urges. But Dexter is summoned to investigate the disappearance of a seventeen-year-old girl who has been running with a bizarre group of goths who fancy themselves to be vampires. As Dexter gets closer to the truth of what happened to the missing girl, he realizes they are not really vampires, but cannibals. And most disturbing, these people have their eyes on Dexter . . . and their mouths are watering.
