Never Saw Me Coming

Never Saw Me Coming by Vera Kurian 400 pages

The new school year is just beginning for incoming freshman Chloe Sevre. She has more on her mind than frat parties and studying at Washington D. C.’s John Adams University. An honor student, Chloe has also been selected to participate in an exclusive study led by a prestigious psychologist. Only six other students are in the program. You see, Chloe Sevre is a psychopath, as is the other six, and she has plans to kill Will Bachman. She won’t rest until he’s dead.

As the novel opens, Will Bachman has 60 days to live.

On the outside Chloe is an ordinary college student. As she interacts with those around her, readers get to see exactly how she thinks and feels---or rather doesn’t feel. As Will’s days dwindle down, other murders begin to occur on campus. The murders aren’t random, however.

Beneath the surface of what is happening on campus, there is high tension in DC. Marches and protests seem to occurred daily, but the city is preparing for its biggest rally since MLK’s March on Washington.

I wanted to love this book so much, but I just didn't care. I didn’t care how it ended or what happened to Chole and her friends. It was hard sometimes to just turn the page, but I did and every time, my high hopes kept getting dashed. I think this book is more aimed at young adults as opposed to middle-aged women. Strange feelings for a book about psychopaths? I hate it when I read and read and read, only to be disappointed at the end.
