Meet Chloe. First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and psychopath out for revenge. 'Gripping! With a college campus setting, charming psychopaths, and a bitingly clever voice, Never Saw Me Coming is a dazzling debut from a bold new talent' Tess Gerritsen Here is what we know about Chloe Sevre. She can be whoever you want her to be. A fun girl, a potential best friend, someone to tell secrets to over midnight snacks. She has an impressive IQ of 135, loves yogalates and frat parties, and is a classic girl next door. Chloe Sevre is also a psychopath. In between her first-year classes and taking part in a secret clinical study of young psychopaths run by her university's psychology department, Chloe Sevre is plotting to kill childhood friend Will Bachman. Poor, lacrosse-playing, weed-smoking Will Bachman. He has no idea what's coming. They say you should never trust a psychopath. But when you hear what Will Bachman did to Chloe Sevre, you might just change your mind. ______________________________________ PRAISE FOR NEVER SAW ME COMING- 'Deliciously wicked and utterly addictive' Alice Hunter 'Fresh, fast-paced and fiendishly clever!' Lisa Gardner
I devoured this riveting book through a day of travel - in a taxi, on the plane, in the next taxi - and into the night. My desire to rush to the end clashed with my desire to savor every word. Who would be the last psychopath standing * New York Times *
