Dexter Morgan is, on the outside a lovable creature. He is handsome, well behaved, has a good job as an analyst with the police and has sort of a girlfriend. He could be as normal as a person is able to. But he is not. He has a dark side, a very dark side: his Dark Passenger. And this passenger is a serial killer, without emotions and feelings. But it’s also a picky serial killer because he only kills other murderers. That’s what Dexter been thought by his foster dad Harry, a policeman. Dexter has to abide Harry’s rules to keep himself out of trouble and to look as human as he can.
But trouble he is in: another serial killer is on the loose and along the way Dexter notices the killer is making it personal, too personal!

I just finished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhuman but still.…I did good overall.

In a not too distant future, being f*t (read fat) is illegal. Laws to imprison people who have a too high percentage of body f*t have been made and a Health Enforcement team is working the streets of New York to spot anyone who is overweight (‘humonsters’). Matt Devlin is one of the agents working for this team, and he’s content writing out tickets for f*t people. But his routine is shattered when a dead body is found near an illegal ‘eateasy’; the body only wearing a bikini of the best, rarest and purest chocolate (‘brown’). And of course chocolate is an illegal substance to posses and eat. So, the question that arises is this: Who’s crime is this…is it a case for homicide or the mellow Health Enforcement? Or can both apartments work this case together?…f*t chance!

Jaine Austen (yes, her “mother is an Anglophile, and a bad speller”) has her own writing service and one day she has to write a letter for geeky Howard, who wants to ask a blonde female fitness instructor named Stacy for a date. Jaine is a bit reluctant to write it, but in the end, does what is asked by her client — money had a big influence in that decision. She had better gone with her instinct to refuse him, because next thing she knows, Howard is in prison, arrested for the murder of Stacy.
Jaine is 100% sure, Howard isn’t the culprit. The only thing she has to do now is prove her female intuition is right. Something that easier said than done.
