An academic thriller with psychopath narrators : okay I’m taking my assumption back because one of them is faking! And a killer is hunting down those psychopaths as raging protests of D. C. are increasing! And one of the psychopaths making plans to avenge her rape! What? You still have second thoughts! Come on! This is one of the juiciest storylines which made me go blind about this book!
Give it a chance! It gets more interesting at each chapter! You don’t want to stop reading it!

Chloe Sevre can be so severe to serve for the righteous justice what she’s done to her when she was only 12! At a party, a despicable human waste raped her and made his friend shoot a video! Yes, this human waste has name. He’s Will Bachman. Chloe chased down him and attended the same college. She planned it all. She knows his fraternity brothers. She knows where he lives. She traces each step he takes like a vulture, dripping salvias to hunt her prey!

The reason to get acceptance from the college is her approval for a special study focused on psychopaths like her: the students who suffer from lack of emotions, empathy, required them to wear smart watches track their motions and mood swings.

As soon as she attends to her seances, filling the surveys at the lab, she may stay out of trouble and she can follow the steps of her long time predator. But she’s forced to cancel her grandiose murder plans as she finds out somebody out there to kill the students attending that study. She finds out there are only seven test subjects. Two of them are only dead.

Her path crosses with pretentious, narcissistic, a wealthy politician’s son Terrible Charles and poor Andre who suffer from loss of his sister, faking his way to be accepted to the study because his family cannot afford the costs of such a prestigious college education.

Charlie thinks Chloe can be murderer. Chloe thinks Charles is dangerous manipulator. Both of them warn Andre against each other. Is the killer one of them or two other students who are involved in this special program?

Who will they trust as they cannot trust each other?

Overall; the book is a little too long because it’s focused on two mains topics: Chloe’s vengeance plan and the killer hunting the program’s students. Because of that, pacing gets a little repetitive and slowing down.

As psychopaths: both Charles and Chloe were terribly annoying but it’s normal because of their psychological natures, it’s so hard to empathize with them.

Especially Charles’ selfish motives of using his girlfriend for his facade to look normal and his flirting tendencies with Chloe irritate us but also his complex reactions indicate some symptoms he can actually feel something ( still caring for people even though he loves attention and being in the spotlight) made us question if he can be cured.

Andre is the only character who may truly care for but it’s so natural thing to love him. He’s faking his tendencies from the beginning and he finds himself on the radar of serial student killer and forced to cooperate with two psychopaths who keep lying and manipulating him.

The book is a little slow burn but the concept of serial killer lurking around the campus, academic claustrophobia still kept my attention intact.

Even though I have problems about pace and characters, it was still interesting and unique reading which made me round up 3.5 stars to 4 psycho killer qu’est ce que c’est fa fa fa fa fa fa far better stars!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions .

Seven psychopaths are given full scholarships to a university for a unusual clinical study. The study, led by a renowned psychologist, requires them to wear smart watches that track their moods and movements. One night a member of the study is brutally murdered and the hunters become the hunted in a millennial game of cat and mouse. I was eager to read this book after reading about the author in Publisher's Weekly. Chloe, a freshman and one of the participants, was truly frightening with her steadfast determination to carry out her own sinister plans. Andre, a misdiagnosed study member, seemed like an innocent in over his head. Charles, the rich psychopath, walks the thin line between appearing "normal" and fighting his attraction to his true nature and Chloe. This gripping, twisted tale kept me engrossed from start to the explosive finish.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a opportunity to review this book. First I loved this book. It had a plot that was unique and interesting and the ending could not have been better. 5 Stars Highly recommended.

This book has a very interesting premise - a group of college aged psychopaths in DC. The main character is Chloe who is devious, manipulative, and out to hurt a fellow student who did something terrible to her in the past. Other characters (in the third person) are just as interesting. As a reader, you know they are all very unreliable narrators - they are psychopaths after all.
There was a lot going on this book, which I think detracted from the initial pursuit Chloe had. The ending was not a total surprise, but was clever.

Walk in the shoes of a psychopath this fall and pick up a copy of Never Saw Me Coming. This campus-set novel was full of psychological thrills, unreliable narrators and twisty plots; I never wanted to put the book down! The main antiheroine, Chloe Sevre--a diagnosed psychopath and social chameleon with vengeful intentions--was addicting to follow. I rooted for her and was terrified of her at the same time. Aside from Chloe, the other narrators in this book were thoroughly enjoyable. I couldn’t trust any of them, which was delightful for a hardcore mystery fan like myself. Highly recommend this debut for fans of Dexter or Jessica Jones.

This was definitely an original idea and I liked it. I guess a lot of it seemed unrealistic but maybe that's because I don't know any psychopaths in real life (or do I?) to know how they would behave. Interesting premise!

An engaging romp— if you can say that about a group of college-age psychopaths being stalked by a serial killer on campus. Destined to be a beach read, this debut novel features well-written characters and convincing psychological details, with a plot that will keep you guessing, and reading.

This is one of my favorite books I have read in a long time. The plot is very unique in how psychopaths who are enrolled in college are in a clinical study to try to get a better understanding into the mind of those who lack empathy and emotions. Soon the psychopaths are the ones who are being hunted. This was a real page turner and a good look into the mind of psychopaths. There are a lot of twists and turns and I was kept guessing until the end.
