They Never Learn

They Never Learn by Layne Fargo 352 pages  (e-galley)

Scarlett has no sympathy for the men she kills. After all, they asked for it. College student Carly is starting to look at her classmates the same way, noticing that some boys just seem to be entitled, dangerous jerks. What connects Scarlett to Carly? You'll be surprised when you find out.
Told with a sharp, dark sense of humor and a steady, almost compulsive pace, this psychological thriller takes us into the mind of a ruthless, deadly and intelligent predator.

Is it wrong that I found Scarlett to be an enjoyable character? She's an apex predator and I found her compelling (and also very much connected with some of her dark humor). She's the kind of woman with a razor-edged smile, someone who is dangerous but so, so interesting. I found the juxtaposition of Carly against Scarlett made me wonder how they were connected -- and then once that reveal happened, it totally made sense. I liked that the author kept me guessing and a bit off balance about what would happen. Really liked this book!
