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. 6d

Dave Barry can always be counted on for a wild and wacky book, and this one is no exception. This is his fiction debut and gets a bit more serious in spots than his other fiction reads but is overall quite funny if you like this kind of thing.

Still working on finishing the books I‘ve started 📖 instead of starting any new ones. Enjoying a caramel high rise with an extra shot of espresso and an Asiago bagel 🥯 with garden veggie cream cheese.

Retribution | Jilliane Hoffman

Mehso-so

Law student Chloe Larson is savagely attacked in her own bedroom, her assailant wore a mask & no physical evidence was found & he was never caught. 12 years later, now known as CJ, she works for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office & specialises in difficult cases. The latest is the killer known as Cupid, who kidnaps, rapes & tortures his victims, before removing their hearts & he has killed 10 women so far with the eleventh currently missing.

OutsmartYourShelf A routine stop yields a surprising result when the killer, William Bantling, is caught red-handed with a body in his car boot, but when CJ attends the first hearing, she is horrified to realise that he is the man who attacked her 12 years ago. At first it doesn't seem as if he has recognised her, but when the initial stop's validity is questioned & it seems like Bantling may get away on a technicality, 3mo
OutsmartYourShelf CJ is not about to let the man guilty of the attack on her go free.

I've had this on my TBR shelf for years but never got around to reading it. I wasn't missing a lot: cliché, overly sexualising towards female characters, a very obvious (to me) twist, & a corny romance between CJ & another character. There's also no reason it was dragged out for over 500 pages, but I did find myself becoming engrossed in the plot for the final third. 2.5⭐

#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! 3mo

#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. 3mo
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. 3mo
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. 3mo

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. 3mo
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. 3mo
CatLass007 @Andrew65 I agree that reading the book(s) first is always advisable. 3mo
DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳Great! 3mo

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.

#NewYearNewBooks #VehicleCvr I love this series, that‘s why it‘s survived numerous culls! 😁Hoke Mosley is a character as a PI. He tries to retire & leave Miami for a quiet life. Nope!

Eggs Perfect ❤️🚗🖤 3mo

#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.
