A diagnosed psychopath, Chloe Sevre, is starting her first year at John Adams University in Washington, DC. She is excited to meet her roommate, find her classes, attend some fraternity parties, investigate the murder rate, and... kill Will Bachman. NEVER SAW ME COMING by Vera Kurian is an addictive story of a group of young psychopaths taking part in a research program on a college campus. What could go wrong?
Chloe Sevre has come to college with the single-minded purpose of killing Will Bachman in 60 days. Will wronged her years ago and Chloe wants to eliminate the young man and destroy evidence of his crime against her. Chloe is also a part of a psychology research program for seven young psychopaths led by Professor Wyman. Not all psychopaths are killers, but they share similar personality traits and behaviors that are harmful to others. The program helps them manage their behaviors. Chloe has to wear a SmartWatch that records her moods at certain times. Although a nuisance, this watch helps her identify other members of the program including the charismatic golden boy, Charles. Charles witnesses Chloe’s penchant for violence and she intrigues him.
Meanwhile, Andre has fibbed his way into the program in order to pay for college. He is not a psychopath, and he is not sure whom to trust, but he is the first to stumble upon a murder in progress. When another murder occurs, Chloe, Charles, and Andre team together to find out who is behind the killings. Is it another psychopath? Is it a graduate assistant or the research professor himself? Or, is it another student with ties to a former serial killer? As Chloe, Charles, and Andre get closer to the truth, Chloe plots to seek her own revenge on Will and lump it in with the other murders. Will she succeed and whom can she trust? Especially since the only people she can rely on are all psychopaths?
NEVER SAW ME COMING is a clever and addictive ride with an anti-hero that keeps you guessing until the very end. It has several twists and turns and Chloe’s behavior intensifies when she finds herself being hunted by another. This novel has an original premise with a nice setup and a cat and mouse feel to the action. The plot unfolds with different POVs and although you may not like all the characters, you’ll find them fascinating and surprising. Hard to put down or look away, NEVER SAW ME COMING reads like a Young Adult or New Adult novel and will appeal to fans of that genre including those that liked TEEN KILLERS CLUB by Lily Sparks.
I've never met someone like me, but when I do, eventually, I think it will be like two wolves meeting in the night, sniffing and recognizing a fellow hunter.
Meet Chloe. First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and diagnosed psychopath with an IQ of 135. Her hobbies include yogalates, parties, and plotting to kill Will Bachman.
Chloe is part of a secret clinical study of young psychopaths run by the university's Psychology Department. Most psychopaths aren't criminals, but when a string of murders on campus causes upheaval, Chloe's private vendetta is sidelined. Partnered with fellow study participants she can't trust - and distracted by typical university life - Chloe has to walk the line between hunter and prey.
Never Saw Me coming is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you.
