    About this ebook

    O serial killer mais adorado do país está de volta. Em Querido e devotado Dexter, um novo assassino em série assusta as ruas de Miami tanto pela técnica quanto por sua ousadia. Perturbado, Dexter se vê obrigado a deixar o disfarce de bom moço de lado para percorrer um caminho instigante, no qual por vezes se confundem caça e caçador.
    Esse é o segundo livro de Dexter, que inspirou a série de televisão homônima. O famoso protagonista trabalha na polícia, mas desde cedo seu real ofício é liquidar os serial killers, sempre camuflado e sem levantar suspeitas

      I don't even know what to say about this one. The killer here is sick beyond anything I've ever imagined. Makes me wonder how Mr. Lindsay comes up with this stuff!

      I will say that even though the novel is pretty graphic, there is some very good humor in it. There were a few times I laughed out loud. Overall, a very enjoyable book.
    • 3/5
      This was better than the first book, I think, and I have no interest in reading any more of these. Really not into horror.
    • 5/5
      Creepy and awesome!
    • 4/5
      Synopsis: Dexter is a serial killer, but he only kills people who deserve it, those who the justice system can't catch or can't prosecute. In this book, another killer is loose in his city and kidnaps his sister's boyfriend.Review: If you are squeamish, these books aren't for you. The descriptions of torture are quite vivid.
    • 3/5
      I've seen several episodes of Dexter over the years, but this was the first of the novels I've read. And it was far more chilling than the TV show. It won't be the last one I read.
    • 4/5
      Ah, Dexter's back. More hilarity (and gory bloodshed) from my now favorite serial killer. Again chasing / admiring the bad guy, but now he manages to get engaged by accident (using the ring he's taken from the severed finger of his sister's boyfriend) and he gets to train a new little Dexter of his own... :) Should I be worried that a serial killer (albeit fictional) has the same sense of humor as I do...?? :)
    • 4/5
      An easy and enjoyable read. I liked it as much as the first Dexter book.
    • 5/5
      I loved the first book in this series (Darkly Dreaming Dexter) and I loved this one just as much. For a serial killer, I thought Dexter was a pretty great guy but this book is a lot darker and now I know I sure wouldn't want this guy living in my neighborhood.
    • 5/5
      Started this one over the weekend at the same time that I finished watching season II on DVD. I love this show - it just gets better. I love the view from the book which is directly inside Dexter's head and then the show as it adds in all of the great characters. I was really disappointed to lose Doakes in the show - I'm wondering if he stays resident in the book.
    • 4/5
      I have come to the conclusion that Jeff Lindsay is one sick puppy. I don't know what that means about me, since I love his series of Dexter books, Dexter the lovable serial killer. It doesn't help that when I read his book, the voice I hear in my head is the same as on the Showtime Original Series and I keep seeing that cuties face.This installment has Dexter being followed by Sergeant Doakes, which has lead Dexter to having to assume a 'normal' life, in danger of becoming 'the world's first serial killing couch potato.' He is saved from moving from Dexter Derailed to Dexter Demented by the fact that as he says, this is Miami, and a bigger badder inhuman monster shows up. It's a case that involves his sister who enlists Dexter's help to hunt down the killer, but can he do it without becoming his next victim?Jeff Lindsay keeps the tone light-hearted with his witty patter and clever use of alliteration: Debonair Dexter, Dipsophobic Dexter, Daytime Dexter and my personal favorite Delicate Dimpled Dexter.This is a quick and enjoyable read. Pure entertainment. I recommend this book.
    • 4/5
      Fiction is replete with examples of anti-heroes where, in spite of our better judgment, we find ourselves rooting for a less-than-desirable individual. The Godfather's Michael Corleone, Alex in Clockwork Orange, Ignatius in A Confederacy of Dunces, and as things are turning out, just about anyone in Game of Thrones (I'm only on book three – no spoilers please). Dexter is starting to add his persona to that august group. (In fact, I just saw him included in one list of the top 10 anti-heroes.) I have no problem with anti-heroes, and I had no problem with Dexter's particular type as I read the first book in the series. In case you didn't know (spoiler alert – but not really a big one – this may be the worst kept secret of all time), Dexter is a serial murderer. But, he is not really a bad guy because he has learned to channel his urges in a positive way – he only kills other serial murderers. In the first novel, Lindsay did a good job playing this psychologically disturbed person against the everyday backdrop of a personal life and job with the (irony alert) police department. I bought into the premise, and I bought into the fact that, in spite of how disturbing the character of Dexter is, I can sympathize with his actions and his motives.But now we get to the second novel in the series and I am becoming a little more concerned. We still have Dexter doing his thing – finding the bad guys and eradicating them in his own special way. But this novel digs a little more deeply into Dexter's psychology. Yes, this was all evident in the first book; yes, we learned that Dexter did not connect with human emotions and feelings. And we saw how that fit in with the person he felt forced to become. But this installment really drives that home.That exploration in and of itself would not be a real problem. However, Dexter is beginning to involve more people in the charade that is his life.It is one thing to watch his demented approach to life as it impacts criminals and an impersonal general public. It was a little more disturbing to see the impact on his sister (starting to get just a little more personal.) But now he is becoming involved with other private parties – including children. And it is disturbing to watch the facade he has built trap him and others into that false existence. And this also leads us to understand that there is a wider and wider range of disturbed individuals in the world.Maybe this is really where Lindsay intends to go – not just an interesting concept but a commentary about the people that are around us. If so, then this is a much more profound series than I ever imagined. However, until that has proven to be the case, I find myself increasingly disturbed with the series and what it makes me feel – disturbed enough that Lindsay has only one more book to make his case.Yes, I will keep reading the series, but it is on a short hook.
    • 5/5
      Book Info: Genre: Thriller/Police ProceduralReading Level: AdultRecommended for: twisted peopleTrigger Warnings: murder, torture, vivisectionMy Thoughts: This book opens with a scene that plays on our expectations of Dexter... and then turns them on their ear. I just love that! This book is filled with scenes like that, scenes that turn our expectations against us and make us look at things from a slightly different perspective.Watching Dexter's complete confusion over how to deal with Rita is always hilarious. However, I always wondered why no one ever mentioned that the ring was actually Kyle's and that Dexter would need to somehow retrieve it for him. That wasn't the only comment in the book that didn't really make sense. There is a scene toward the end where Dexter thinks to himself about the three remaining potential victims being unaware, and includes Acosta among them, although Acosta not only was aware but had fled. I was a bit surprised something like that would make it through the final editing process. However, these are very minor things, and with all the busyness, I'm sure a lot of people would not even noticed these minor, questionable situations.I remember back when I first read this book I was so excited to see where the series was going with the children. I still find this a really interesting idea, and was disappointed when the TV series did not include this. I suppose involving the children was just too much and not nearly “sexy” enough, but to me I much prefer the direction the story is going in the books over what I saw in the first four seasons of the TV show. If you have a really dark and twisted sense of humor, and like reading about rather dark and twisted vigilantes, then you definitely need to spend some time with Dexter Morgan.Series Information: Dexter Morgan seriesBook 1: Darkly Dreaming Dexter, review linked hereBook 2: Dearly Devoted DexterBook 3: Dexter in the DarkBook 4: Dexter by DesignBook 5: Dexter is DeliciousBook 6: Double DexterBook 7: Dexter's Final CutDisclosure: I purchased this book for myself. All opinions are my own.Synopsis: Dexter Morgan has been under considerable pressure. It's just not easy being an ethical serial killer—especially while trying to avoid the unshakable suspicions of the dangerous Sergeant Doakes (who believes Dexter is a homicidal maniac... which, of course, he is). In an attempt to throw Doakes off his trail, Dexter has had to slip deep into his foolproof disguise. While not working as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he now spends nearly all his time with his cheerful girlfriend, Rita, and her two children, sipping light beer and slowly becoming the world's first serial couch potato. But how long can Dexter play Kick the Can instead of Slice the Slasher? How long before his Dark Passenger forces him to drop the charade and let his inner monster run free?In trying times, opportunity knocks. A particularly nasty psychopath is cutting a trail through Miami—a man whose twisted technique leaves even Dexter speechless. As Dexter's dark appetite is revived, his sister, Deborah (a newly minted, tough-as-nails Miami detective), is drawn headlong into the case. It quickly becomes clear that it will take a monster to catch a monster—but it isn't until his archnemesis is abducted that Dex can finally throw himself into the search for a new plaything. Unless, of course, his plaything finds him first...
    • 5/5
      Not fabulous literature, no, but sometimes you just need a break and read something for the pure entertainment of it :)
    • 4/5
      Dexter Morgan is a self described "inhuman monster", a man who cannot feel emotion and who is compelled to kill by the "dark passenger" in his mind. The catch in this unique story is that Dexter's problem was discovered by his police officer stepfather, who set down rules for Dexter - he can only kill bad people, those who prey on the sick or the weak. So by day Dexter works as a forensic specialist for the police department and at night he hunts predators. In this book, Dexter and his sister (a cop for the Miami PD) are trying to track down a Central American refugee who is butchering former army colleagues. Dexter is struck by both anger and admiration for the killer. Lindsay's writing is a mix of dark humor and standard police procedural. The side story of Dexter's personal relationship with a divorced"human" woman and her children is amusing and touching. The character of Dexter is so fascinating and unique that it lifts the story from the ranksof a mundane to something special.
    • 4/5
      Another great, original dexter book. Love this series!
    • 3/5
      I love Dexter and his knack for saying/thinking the most inappropriate things. Who knew that the macabre could be so funny? I'm torn on watching the television series after I've finished all the books: can it possibily be this good?
    • 4/5
      Doakes is following Dexter pretty hard, so Dexter is spending a lot of time with Rita and her kids, Astor and Cody, in order to look like an average guy. He hasn't been able to let his Dark Passenger come out to play, and he's getting cranky. Then a killer shows up in Miami, a really nasty guy: he cuts pieces off his victims, basically leaving them alive but with their minds completely gone (he sets up a mirror so they can watch him butchering them--yikes). Former Black Ops Kyle Chutsky shows up from Washington to help out, as he is apparently familiar with the killer, whom they have dubbed "Dr. Danco". Deb and Kyle start dating, and she's livid when Danco grabs Kyle and begs Dexter to help get him back. Meanwhile, Dexter accidentally proposes to Rita, and Masuka throws him an epic bachelor party and Danco takes advantage of the opportunity to kidnap Doakes. Dexter finds Kyle and is able to rescue him before *too* much damage was done, but Doakes wasn't as lucky.
    • 2/5
      I didn't like this as much as the first one. I am a little intrigued by the suggestion that Cody and Astor are going to be little mini-Dexters with homicidal tendencies, so I'll be looking forward to seeing how that develops in later books. Otherwise, I don't have much to say about this one-- it was creepy but not terribly compelling.
    • 4/5
      Dexter's back and it's not as good as the first, tho he's still a compelling character, with a strange attraction. It's strange to be empathising with a serial killer but cleverly that's what Jeff Lindsay has you do in this series.Dexter is being haunted by Sergeant Doakes, who's convinced he's up to something, however someone else is haunting Sergeant Doakes and it's his past. Dexter's relationship with Rita continues but his relationship with her children is taking a slightly sinister turn.
    • 5/5
      Love this! How rare to find something unlike anything else I have ever read. Simple premise - the hero's a serial killer. And do it in first person. Would love to meet this Jeff Lindsay guy; he's *ing dark comic genius...and as such I wonder if he would be amused to know the local B&N has him shelved in literary fiction? Hmm. Although I can sympathise; it's probably a rare enough day when something so unique comes across their loading dock.All the reviewers have said this already, but it's impossible not to love this guy (the character). You find yourself wondering if it's nothing more than a little mild autism, if he'll somehow be jarred into more-normal emotions...his constant, self-effacing reminders that he's only a fake human are oddly touching.OK, I loved the creepiness too. The bad guy is sooooo bad, he makes Dexter look like Santa Claus. And yet there aren't those many-paged scenes of bloodletting that can put you to sleep in other novels. In this case the dollop was just right. (I decided not to let my 14 year old read this, however; it's disturbing.)In retrospect I should have read the first book first, but I went out and got it today; usually I try not to read too much of one author in a row, but in this case I'm making an exception.Go, Dex!!!
    • 5/5
      Dexter has simply become my favorite sociopath. This installment in the Dexter saga has much more suspense and action than the first book while still retaining Dexter's trademark dark humor and razor-sharp irony.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed reading this, although I did like the first one more. This book is really getting to know Dexter, rather than his 'dark passenger' I think. The crime is gruesome and not much is left to the imagination. Brilliantly written, I look forward to reading the third one - almost immediately as I want to have read them before the television series starts next week! A great writer, a great character and a great plot.
    • 3/5
      A dark, quick read, but not as enjoyable as Darkly Dreaming Dexter or Dexter in the Dark. Still worth reading, and entertaining for all that. Lindsay's Dexter Morgan is a sociopath with ethics, which makes for interesting moral choices.
    • 3/5
      This was better than the first book, I think, and I have no interest in reading any more of these. Really not into horror.
    • 4/5
      It was two nights until the full moon, and I would make this one well worth my while. This full moon I would spend not with Miller Lite but with Reiker Photography, Inc. In two nights I would turn loose my Passenger at last, slide into my true self, and fling the sweat-stained costume of Dearly Devoted Dexter into the garbage heap.I have seen some of "Dexter", the television series that is based on these books, and surprisingly, Dexter's sister Deb is even more foul-mouthed and stroppy in the books, while Detective LaGuerta is elegant and incompetent, and fancies Dexter, unlike her television counterpart. Dexter sees kindred spirits in both the antagonistic Sergeant Doakes and Rita's children, who are more damaged in the books than in the television series.
    • 3/5
      Not as good as the debut of the series, but still suitable as mind candy. Spent a little too much time with remarks about how badly Dexter wanted to be out and about with his "Dark Passenger" and how much it stressed him to do good things for people instead of be out killing bad guys.I would never buy these books but I'm happy I can find them at the library.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy Dexter. The books are great reads and scary (I wonder who around me could just be pretending...). I will say that I enjoy the show as well and they are very separate from each other. It makes it hard to say good-bye to some characters because they are beloved in the show...
    • 2/5
      Dexter Morgan the world’s most sympathetic serial killer is back in the second installment of Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter series. In this book Dexter’s Dark Passenger is put on hold. Sergeant Doakes who has become suspicious of Dexter trails Dexter’s every move. In response Dexter slips farther into his mask of a hard working blood spatter analysts, supportive brother and devoted boyfriend. Meanwhile a new serial killer has emerged on the Miami scene, leaving a gruesome trail of horribly mutilated, but still living victims in his wake. Dexter struggles to balance domestic life, the Dark Passengers bored grumblings and an uncertain professional admiration for this new local ‘artist’. Most of the scenes in the novel are totally improbable. Even a casual observer of CSI or Law and Order could poke multiple holes in this plot line. But the character of Dexter is written with such a happy, gruesome flair, it is hard not to be charmed. Dearly Devoted Dexter is as light hearted a romp can be when factoring the gory subject matter.
    • 3/5
      Dexter is a serial killer who kills killers....and yet he is charismatic and grows on you. I was a little surprised at how gruesome the killings are in this book since it strays a little from the TV series but I enjoyed it a lot!
    • 3/5
      I'm trying very hard to appreciate these Dexter books. I am such a fan of the show, I'm just finding the books blah. I'm going to continue with the series in hopes that I can come to some sort of appreciation for the differences between show and book.In this one, Dexter is on the trail of a very brutal killer -- one who hacks his victim up while leaving them alive--if you want to call an armless, legless, eyelid-less, tongueless, hairless person alive. Yikes! Gore and splatter all over the place, many plot changes from the T.V. series so it does hold my interest just to see those differences.
