Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Seven psychopaths are enrolled in a study in college - and they start getting knocked off. I can honestly say I wasn't able to work out the ending at all, it was very well written and the suspicion was cast around wonderfully. I really liked the main character, Chloe, and found her to be quite relatable and funny. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a good whodunnit or mystery thriller. Loved it!

This was a read that took mr a little while to get into but when I did it was a good and different to what I had been expecting. The book is narrated by several different psychopaths and so when you are reading it’s impossible to know just who to trust and that gives the story a real edge. The main character of Chloe is brilliant and clever getting up to all sorts of antics and although the book has plenty of pretty gruesome murders it’s also got tons of humour which kept my attention throughout.
I really did like this book it was completely different, had an excellent plot line and very entertaining characters plus I was never quite sure of the outcome and that made it an even better read and look forward to more from the author.

Meet Chloe Sevre.
Cloe is a freshman at John Adams University.
Cloe is going to kill Will Bachman.
Cloe is a psychopath.

This is a story about lies, deceit, manipulation and revenge. It is a story about the "ME"
If there is one thing you don't t want to do, it is to get on the wrong side of a psychopath!

I was very excited to read this 1 and mostly enjoyed it but I found it didn't flow as much as I would have liked. Some scenes could have done with a bit more meat.
In the end, it was still a fun read.

Really enjoyed this book however it did take a bit of time for me to get into this at the beginning. Chloe and the rest of the “study” group are very interesting characters and a unique take on the cat and mouse game!

This is a great great great read, and listen so what's best audio it or read it maybe both. I have to say I love it both ways. But first a bit about the Thriller.

Well first this is a well I've already said great and it is, So the 1st question is what could be more perfect than a free scholarship the only conditions are you much be a "Physicopath" and that's it. That's a good start for a Physiological Thriller, so if your on the program you have to do some tests carry a smartwatch with you at all times. The only problem seems to be that a couple of the students have gone and got themselves killed and our heroine Chloe has a little other project on the go as well but you need to read it to find out more as I don't want to ruin the story for you but it's a interesting plan. If only she and they (the others on the program weren't possible targets themselves. However as "Physicopaths that isn't a worry or fear as they don't or shouldn't know what fear is. It's more an inconvenience than anything else.

Dr Wyman is the Physiologist who leads the project he believes even the vilest offender can be changed hence the project plus the death of a patient or client at the hands of the State added to his program So with this in mind and the killings this is a tough time for the peace loving Professor. He is one of the characters you hear about not so much meet but there are some great ones that you do an assembly of different students the usual parties and protests. Charles is a rich kid on the free program so is one of them and he's up for students president 🤔 he is also he key to enhancing this great thriller, a whodunit and a will they as 2 storylines cross each other with style and adventure, colliding now and again and well you really should read it and find out I think you may love it if this sort of thriller is your cup of tea/coffee/or something stronger.

So the audio was clear exciting and great voices for our variety of characters I got to read it and listen I loved it both ways. The audio adds to the imagery I enjoyed the voices it added that extra to the suspension. I would give her a 6 out of 5 but can't get the extra star to appear. For me the audio was a great addition and well worth the extra although I was given a free copy for an honest review but I wouldn't feel aggrieved if I'd bought it but glad to have purchased a gem of a Thriller. I hope you love it as much as I have.

Such an amazing book! Really enjoyed it kept me on my toes all the time! Chloe is like Villanelle merged with Elle from Legally Blonde. Read this in a day and want to re-read it already.

Academic institution set thrillers are my favourite niche genre, and I’ve been waiting (Im)patiently for a new favourite (The Basic Eight has held that position for a long time!) and in ‘Never Saw Me Coming’ I have absolutely found it.
Chloe is a fairly typical college freshman- smart, pretty, loves a party with her friends… and is a diagnosed psychopath on a special programme for people like her. Her plot to kill frat boy Will is thrown off course when fellow students start ending up murdered, and she must team up with two fellow psychopaths to work out who the other killer is.
This writing is sharp and wickedly funny, and the plot is beautifully thought out and wonderfully paced. Chloe has already earned a place as one of my favourite main characters- she’s like Vilanelle, crossed with the girl you shared a bathroom with at uni. Terrifiying, but I still would want to be best friends with her!
I really hope that this book gets the attention and praise it deserves- I loved every minute of it. Thank you Vintage Books for the opportunity to read it!

A highly entertaining read, delving into the realities behind the diagnosis of psychopath – a condition that could be applied to at least 1% of the population – and demonstrating that not every psychopath becomes a killer, never mind a serial killer...but they could, and would feel zero remorse. Chloe thinks she’s nailed acting ‘normal’, Andre realises he’s in way too deep, and Charles finds it all terribly amusing, until his own lovely life is threatened. Every psychopath thinks they know best, until suddenly each is proven very, very wrong. A fun read, if a little loose at times – we never do find out why Charles is so Terrible – but one you won’t regret trying.

Chloe is new to John Adams university and she has big plans for her time there. Her placement at that college isn’t just coincidence as a psychopath she is part of a study which has paid all her fees and it just so happens it’s the same college that Will is at, and she has big plans for will!

There are seven other people in the psychological study, seven other psychopaths on campus but who are they? Can Chloe find them or will they find her first?

What happens when seven psychopaths are put together?

From the very start I was hooked. It has a really great storyline that has you thinking the whole way through. There is no part in the book where it slows down, it constantly keeps you turning the page and trying to figure out essentially who the craziest psychopath is. I’ve really enjoyed this book and I think it’ll do really well upon its release.

The blurb of this book drew me in, psychopaths and murder! My kind of book haha!

Overall I enjoyed it but I found it quite long and often too literal. But I guess that was due to represent the characters personalities? Which is very clever, but It’s not my reading style.

It was a clever storyline and I liked how it was told from the different characters points. It gave different perspectives and helped build up suspense. It also made you constantly question who could have done it!

Personally I would have liked more psychology to be involved throughout but I think the genre is more thriller/crime than psychological.

Thank you NetGalley and Random house UK for allowing me this opportunity to read and review ‘Never saw me coming’

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the story of Chloe Sevre. Chloe is part of a clinical study for psychopaths at a college along with 6 other students who attend the college. Chloe is there for another reason. She is there to track down her childhood friend Will and get revenge for something terrible he did to her. When another student of the psychology study is murdered, Chloe decides to track the murderer down fearing that she will be next.

Unfortunately this book just wasn’t for me. I think that the main problem with this book was that at 400 pages this book was far too long. If it had been even 100 pages shorter I think the plot could have been more focused and more thrilling. For a thriller it was far too slow paced and didn’t always keep my attention. It read like a YA book which is something that I wasn’t expecting. There were far too many characters and I just kept getting lost as to who was who. Too many unbelievable things happened that made it difficult to get behind the whole plot and I just found myself wanting to just get this book finished so I could move on.

A fast-paced crime caper featuring a cast of teenage psychopaths.
And Then There Were None set in a US college.
Chloe (Not her real name. She’s a psychopath; they lie…) starts at a college in DC on a full scholarship. In exchange for full funding, she participates in a programme run by a leading academic from the college’s psychology department. It is a study of seven diagnosed psychopaths. The programme is supposed to be secret – not even the participants know the identities of the others – but someone finds out and starts killing them one by one.
Chloe really doesn’t have time to play cat and mouse with a serial killer as she has a murder of her own she wants to commit. She tracks down two other programme members so they can work together to find the culprit. But it’s hard to be a team player when there are two things you can’t trust about the other students: everything they say and everything they do.
The story is told from the viewpoints of these three psychopaths – snappy, sardonic and unreliable.
Great fun.
With thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

My first Vera Kurian and a pretty unique take on a thriller. A study of psychopaths with one murdered. Full of chills but also with a sense of black humour. Really enjoyed this one and will read more by this author.

A group of students with psychopathic problems have been recruited by a study at a Washington university. This book follows 3 students Charles, Andre and Chloe and their reactions to the murders of a couple of students involved in the research program. I liked the book, though it felt too long in places. The interaction between the students and others was well written and as a reader you do enter the mind set of the narrator of the chapter even though it at times feels totally crazy , their decisions do make a sort of sense.
There are certainly twists in the story. The detective work by the main characters is sometimes too drawn out and their social life typifies student life. Some of the reasoning seemed a bit too simplistic, but all in all an interesting read

This sounded so much fun. A teenage psychopath attending college on a revenge mission. She’s one of 7 in the college who are part of a study and are there incognito. They don’t know each other and who each other is.

We spend a lot of of our time with the female narrator as she plots her revenge on the person she is after.

Meanwhile there are two murders in the college, both victims are in the program. Is there a serial killer out to get the psychopaths?


This starts off great fun and is set up nicely with the revenge plot being the centre of the book. Hell the chapters are even headed by the number of days until the planned kill takes place. This is where it starts to lose its focus with the added serial killer storyline. The revenge story becomes a relatively minor one, which is utterly bizarre considering we are reading chapters numbered by days to the event.

It all gets a bit too complicated for its own good where the apparent major characters become minor and some minor characters end up taking centre stage. By that stage you don’t really care as you know little about them and care even less.

There are some real lol moments and it’s a cool idea for a book but the author just didn’t seem to have the confidence or clear vision to make it one thing or another. For a large part it feels like a twisted black comedy type thriller(which I feel it should have stuck with) but then tries to become a YA novel and then a serious thriller.

Enjoyable to a point but rather flawed imo and promised so much more than it delivered.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3 for the “2 psychopaths are better than 1” line.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC through Netgalley.

If I was to sum this book up in one word, it’d be ‘unusual’! I don’t know whether I can say I enjoyed it, but it certainly absorbed me. I thought the characterisations were very clever and well thought-out, and the premise was certainly unique! The plot was captivating, but at times felt a little disjointed, making it quite difficult to follow at points. A really unusual read though, and I’m very grateful that I had the chance to review it.

Quite simply, I loved this novel! From the opening page I was drawn into this university-set mystery that kept me speculating until the very end.
I truly don't want to go into any details for fear of spoilers bit I just couldn't put this book down. With fascinating characters and a gripping storyline, Never Saw Me Coming was everything I hoped it would be.

I liked the idea of “ Never saw me coming” a college that works with psychopaths was never going to go well was it ? but listening to it as an audiobook just didn’t work for me, the narrator wasn’t very dynamic and just drooled on so I got confused to who was who, so my personal recommendation would be to read it as the ending was a surprise.

I really enjoyed this book and liked the style in which it was written. A really fascinating and realistic story. Brilliant. Highly recommended xxx

Chloe Sevre has been offered a full scholarship to her Washington-based college, on the basis that she participates in a study run by an eminent psychologist. Because although Chloe may look like a run of the mill student, she is anything but. Chloe is a psychopath, one of seven in the program.

When a student is found stabbed to death in one of the psychology labs, it seems that someone knows about the program. But who is the hunter and who is the prey...and is the killer within their midst, or someone who wants to see them wiped out? Chloe must find her fellow participants before the killer finds her...the only problem is knowing who to trust. Because everyone knows...you should never trust a psychopath.

I LOVED the premise of this novel, and I really liked the character of Chloe in particular, who I found sparky and not unsympathetic despite her psychopathy. It was well written an well paced with twists I didn't see coming, and a great ending. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won't be the last.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher, who granted me a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
