About the book: 
'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
 
I've never met someone like me, but when I do, eventually, I think it will be like two wolves meeting in the night, sniffing and recognizing a fellow hunter.
 
Meet Chloe. First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and highly intelligent diagnosed psychopath. Her hobbies include yogalates, parties, and plotting to kill Will Bachman.
 
Chloe is part of a secret clinical study of young psychopaths run by the university's Psychology Department. Most psychopaths aren't criminals, but when a string of murders on campus causes upheaval, Chloe's private vendetta is sidelined. Partnered with fellow study participants she can't trust - and distracted by typical university life - Chloe has to walk the line between hunter and prey.
 
Never Saw Me Coming  is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you.
 
'Fresh, fast-paced and fiendishly clever! If you love watching true crime and wonder about the psychopaths among us, this is the book for you! Never Saw Me Coming  will have you never sleeping again.' - Lisa Gardner
