(Just roll with this part to get to the good story. They’ll be asked to answer psych surveys and take tests, which leads to seven diagnosed psychopaths attending the same college. The story takes place at a college with a scholarship program for psychopaths. Readers go into Never Saw Me Coming knowing that there’s at least one psychopath protag, and so, well, you’d see her coming, wouldn’t you? I was intrigued from the start, but I wasn’t quite sure about this one - because if you know from the start that the protag is a ruthless psychopath, then where’s the suspense? You already know they’re going to be heartlessly efficient in their goals, so there won’t be that stunning thriller reveal when you realize one character is not like other people, one character has been following different rules the whole time.
Never Saw Me Coming, by Vera Kurian, is a new thriller about a group of known psychopaths at college, and possibly someone hunting the psychopaths on campus.
