About the book

America’s most-read, most-watched, and most beloved serial killer—Dexter Morgan—is back. After selling more than one million copies and inspiring the wildly popular #1 Showtime series and top-rated crime drama on pay-cable television, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Lindsay returns with his most hilarious, macabre, and purely entertaining novel yet.

Dexter Morgan has always lived a happy homicidal life. He keeps his dark urges in check by adhering to one steadfast rule . . . he only kills very bad people. But now Dexter is experiencing some major life changes—don’t we all?—and they’re mostly wrapped up in the eight-pound curiosity that is his newborn daughter. Family bliss is cut short, however, when 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 so much as cannibals. And, most disturbing . . . these people have decided they would really like to eat Dexter.

Jeff Lindsay’s bestselling, dark, ironic, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud hilarious novels about the lovable serial killer with no soul (but a redeeming desire to kill only people who deserve it) have gained a legion of fans and assumed a place in our culture.

    wirklich trockener Humor...

    ... und kurzweilig. Die.Dexter Reihe ist unvergleichlich und herausragend. Sowohl die Bücher als auch die Serie. Ich liebe es, immer wieder eines der Bücher aus der Reihe zu lesen. Der Schreibstil und wie wir aus der Sicht von Dexter seine Welt erleben sind wirklich klasse. 4 🌟

    Ich liebe das Buch

    Ich liebe die Dexter Reihe und bin wirklich ein Fan davon, aber Deborah hat mich dieses Buch wirklich sehr genervt. Sie ist so selbstsüchtig und egoistisch. Dexter ist grade Papa geworden und sie erwartet von ihm das er sofort springt. Außerdem erwartet sie immer seine Hilfe und bekommt alleine nichts hin und nimmt dann aber keine Ratschläge an und weiß alles besser. Das hat mich wirklich genervt und ich musste das Buch manchmal weglegen.

    This is the fifth book in the Dexter series and originally I was really interested and excited to start this book but for some reason when I picked up my paperback edition and tried reading it. It felt wrong and strange. So I ended up putting it to the side and not reading it after reading about 20 pages when I first started it. But since I’m already in the middle of this series and I really wanna finish it at some point, probably at the end of this year I decided to give it another chance about 2 1/2 weeks later when I went to stay at my grandma’s house for a couple days and due to the fact that I was travelling with the bus to my grandma’s house, I wasn’t able to take a lot of stuff with me so I downloaded the book onto my Kindle and decided to if I read this book during a stay with my grandma then I’m gonna read it on my Kindle because that’s just easier to travel with and easier to carry around Do it to the fact that I was staying at my grandma‘s house I wasn’t really able to continue my fitness so within the last two days of my stay at my grandma‘s house I read this book on my Kindle while walking up and down my grandma‘s house, basically walking from the living room to the kitchen and back because that’s the convenient thing about owning a Kindle you can literally read while you are walking and normally I do that on my walking pad at home, but if I’m not at home and I’m like away for a vacation or in a different country or somewhere else like my grandma‘s house, I can just walk up and down and read while I’m doing that. For the book I actually felt like it was a little bit stretched during the beginning towards the middle of the book and we’re also dealing with a lot of crazy people eating other people while being under the influence of drugs so this book is definitely not easy to read because it’s like really gory and you definitely have to be able to read it because there’s heavy stuff going on
