I'm not too surprised that I got this done so quickly. Maybe a little. Especially considering I screwed around half the day having non-writing fun. But just like the pivotal scenes in The Devil You Know, I've been planning and looking forward to this one for a while. And just like then, I think the result is pretty darn good.

Best part for me: The callbacks to book 1, and the subtle foreshadowing for 3. Let me know if you think you spot it.

As a serial killer working undercover in forensic analysis for the Miami Metro police department, Dexter Morgan is well accustomed to the art of deception. With the help of his newly empowered Slayer stepdaughter, he's turned over a new leaf. Together they've driven notorious and legendary vampires Darla and Drusilla out of the city. And with his bloodthirsty past finally revealed to the ones he loves, Miami's most well-meaning murderer is looking forward to settling down to being the best family man and rogue demon hunter he can be. But his troubles are just getting started. From suspicious co-workers to awkward teen talks, from the struggles of romance to the fatal obsessions that only love can bring, Dexter's world is about to get even weirder. As Darla's parting shot threatens to be the magic bullet that brings him down for good, Dexter and his family battle against vampires, demons, the forces of darkness...and the evils hidden within the human heart.

Action Figure Cody wants his mom. Dexter talks to another sane and rational adult, and one a bit less so. The Slayer's time to shine. And Dexter's second confession inspires the most unlikely subject. It's all here, in the antepenultimate installment of: The Devil In Disguise. Available now wherever fine electrons are carried.
