Welp, I never saw the ending coming of Never Saw Me Coming, the debut novel by Vera Kurian. This thriller had me guessing the whole way through. The number of suspects was large, and even the main characters couldn't be fully trusted.
The premise is unique. Chloe is part of a secret psychopathy program at her college. Along with a small group of others (unknown to Chloe), she's being studied by a psychologist in an attempt to change her behaviors and make her a more productive member of society. Unlike other more well-known psychopaths, such as serial killers, Chloe isn't violent. Well, aside from her plan to exact revenge on fellow student Will... by killing him.
But while Chloe is plotting and scheming, someone else is carrying out violent murders on her college campus, and the targets seem to be members of the psychopathy program. Now Chloe thinks she might be next, and it's up to her (along with new friends Charles and Andre) to find the killer before the killer finds her.
I would love to re-read this once it's published because my advance review Kindle copy wasn't formatted very well, so I had a hard time following certain parts. There was nothing to specify when something was being texted as opposed to part of one of the character's monologues, for example.
Never Saw Me Coming is published by Park Row and will be available to purchase on September 7, 2021. I received a free review copy through NetGalley.
