Never Saw Me Coming cover

'Utterly Gripping' Sunday Telegraph

Meet Chloe. First-year student. Ordinary girl next door. Psychopath.

Chloe Sevre can be whoever you want her to be. A cool girl, a best friend, someone to tell secrets to over midnight snacks. She has an impressive IQ, loves working out and frat parties.

She's also a psychopath.

In between her university classes and taking part in a secret clinical study of young psychopaths, Chloe is plotting to kill childhood friend Will Bachman.

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...

**Perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family, You and Killing Eve*
