Named a New York Times Best Thriller of 2021
"I devoured this riveting book through a day of travel...My desire to rush to the end clashed with my desire to savor every word. Who would be the last psychopath standing?” — New York Times Book Review
"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!" — Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author
You should never trust a psychopath. But what if you had no choice?
It would be easy to underestimate Chloe Sevre… She’s a freshman honor student, a legging-wearing hot girl next door, who also happens to be a psychopath. She spends her time on yogalates, frat parties and plotting to kill Will Bachman, a childhood friend who grievously wronged her.
Chloe is one of seven students at her DC-based college who are part of an unusual clinical study of psychopaths—students like herself who lack empathy and can’t comprehend emotions like fear or guilt. The study, led by a renowned psychologist, requires them to wear smart watches that track their moods and movements.
When one of the students in the study is found murdered in the psychology building, a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins, and Chloe goes from hunter to prey. As she races to identify the killer and put her own plan for revenge into action, she’ll be forced to decide if she can trust any of her fellow psychopaths—and everybody knows you should never trust a psychopath.
Don't miss Vera Kurian's chilling upcoming novel, A Step Past Darkness, where a group of six teenagers witness something tragic in an abandoned mine, which comes back to haunt them 20 years later.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The story introduces Chloe Sevre, one of seven psychopath students who received a full scholarship at John Adams University. These seven students formed part of a special program created especially for psychopaths. The program aims to determine if psychopathy can be managed like all other mental illnesses. If so, then patients could live a normal life and control their psychopathic with the proper support. Before Chloe can fully immerse herself into her studies, she needs to carry out a plan. A plan that’s been in the making for six years. It involved killing the guy who assaulted at the age of twelve. While Chloe is formulating her plan, someone murdered two the students on the program. Besides putting her plan into action, she now has to find and stop the murderer before she herself becomes a victim.
Wow, dieses Buch hat mich echt gefesselt und in seinen Bann gezogen. Alleine schon die Sichtweise hat mich begeistert, da es eine ist, die wir so gar nicht kennen. Außerdem haben die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven dazu beigetragen, dass das Buch sehr spannend erzählt wurde und die ohnehin vorhandene Spannung noch weiter aufgebaut wurde. Auch die Geschichte an sich hat mich überzeugt, da es keine unnötigen Füller gab, sondern einfach alles zueinander gepasst hat und sich nicht ewig gezogen hat, ohne dass etwas Spannendes passiert ist. Der Schreibstil war auch sehr angenehm, da er einen schönen Lesefluss garantiert hat, aber auch sehr modern war, sodass das Buch auch für Jüngere ansprechend ist. Alles in allem ist es wirklich ein Buch, das empfehlenswert ist. Gerade die Sichtweise eines diagnostizierten Psychopathen ist etwas, was für jeden in dieser Gesellschaft interessant sein sollte, sodass man sich nicht nur mit der eigenen Sichtweise, sondern auch mit anderen befasst.
