Newest Dexter book by Jeff Lindsay, "Dexter by Design" was great. While I absolutely love the Showtime series (Michael C. Hall is *amazing*) the show just doesn't capture the perfect black humor snarkiness that is Lindsay's creation. In this one, Dexter and Rita have returned from their honeymoon in Paris to discover someone is trying to bring down the tourist industry in Miami. Deborah is stabbed and unfortunately sits out most of this book, but Doakes is there with his computerized voice, which is always entertaining. Plus Dexter has his two little protegees, Cody and Astor, eager to learn the dark ways.
"From Dead to Worse" by Charlaine Harris is yet another Sookie Stackhouse book. Sookie finds out about some relatives she didn't know she had: a great-grandfather who's a fairy, and her dead cousin Hadley's little boy who is a telepath like her. In between the family reunions there's another were battle and Sookie breaks up with Quinn and gets yet another roommate: Octavia, a witch who was displaced by Katrina and is mentor to her current houseguest, Amelia. While there was a lot going on in this book, it wasn't overwhelming.
