Meet Chloe. First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and psychopath out for revenge.

Never Saw Me Coming is described as "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." โ€“ 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." โ€“ Alice Hunter

"Fresh, fast-paced and fiendishly clever!" โ€“ Lisa Gardner
