Are you asking if the Television show is based on each book, sort of like True Blood/The Vampire Diaries? No. The first season is based on Darkly Dreaming Dexter, with some major differences in characters and the overall outcome of that season. Afterwards, only a few things are shared between the television series and the books (not the overall plot). They go their own separate ways storywise, so either way you're getting a different experience.
