Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
When I first heard about this book written in first person from the point of view of a serial killer, I was skeptical – and intrigued.

Adopted by a police officer who recognized what he was from the start, and taught to use his desire to kill for “good,” Dexter only kills people who deserve it. Add in his job as a blood spatter expert for the police department and you’ve got a really engaging read from an author who actually makes you root for the serial killer!
