Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

I love a good read, and I love good television, so you can imagine how I feel about a good book becoming a television series. A few seasons ago, Showtime introduced viewers to Dexter, the serial killer with a conscience. OK, maybe not a conscience, so much, but definitely a code. I was instantly hooked.

Unclean Spirits by HLN Hanover

Synopsis (barnesandnoble.com)
 
In a world where magic walks and demons ride, you can’t always play by the rules.
Jayné Heller thinks of herself as a realist, until she discovers reality isn’t quite what she thought it was. When her uncle Eric is murdered, Jayné travels to Denver to settle his estate, only to learn that it’s all hers — and vaster than she ever imagined. And along with properties across the world and an inexhaustible fortune, Eric left her a legacy of a different kind: his unfinished business with a cabal of …
