'An addictive read' Prima
Meet Chloe. First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and psychopath.
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.
Perfect for fans of My Sister the Serial Killer, Killing Eve and The Secret History, Never Saw Me coming is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you.
'Deliciously wicked and utterly addictive' Alice Hunter, author of The Serial Killer's Wife
'Fresh, fast-paced and fiendishly clever!' Lisa Gardner, bestselling author of Alone
'I fell in love with self-confessed psychopath Chloe on page one' Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said
Readers love NEVER SAW ME COMING:
'A fantastic read that absolutely kept me guessing. I loved everything about it; the college campus setting, the wickedly dark sense of humour involved, the unique and twisty murder mystery. How is it possible that I fell in love with a group of self-confessed psychopaths?' *****
'I was hooked... There's plenty of dark humor and i laughed a lot but there's also suspense, a lot of twists' *****
'A darkly comic, complicated tale that takes unreliable narration and shakes it with a huge dollop of distrust. With its twisty, meandering path, and a satisfying ending.' *****
'A profoundly disturbing and well written book with an ending I didn't see coming.' *****
'This book was perfectly pitched and pure fun. Highly recommended.' ******

What a hook! I loved this bold, fast-paced, entertaining thriller. Deliciously wicked and utterly addictive.
» Alice Hunter, author of The Serial Killer's Wife
«Fun, entertaining, and hard to put down, a twisty whodunit with a satisfying conclusion»
New York Journal of Books
«Very twisty. Very clever.»
R. L. Stine
«Whip smart, very sharp, thrillingly sassy. What a refreshing take on the psychopath. And how much did I enjoy learning about the evolution of such a personality disorder from grassroots level... A brilliant read; unusual, clever and one-of-a-kind. Just like Chloe.»
J. M. Hewitt, author of The Night Caller
«A razor-sharp, brilliantly plotted and utterly gripping page-turner. I couldn't put Never Saw Me Coming down. Takes us to the darkest of places, with a lightness of touch and a keen intelligence: Vera Kurian's debut deserves to be a huge hit.»
Sanjida Kay, author of One Year Later
«Excellent pacing, sprightly narrative voices, and judicious dabs of wry humor make this a highly entertaining tale. Kurian's refreshingly different slant on psychopathy marks her as a writer to watch»
Publishers Weekly
«Impossible to put down»
Louise O'Neill
«A sharp debut, and ant-heroine Chloe is darkly entertaining throughout.»
Irish Independent
«Kurian expertly threads revenge and cat-and-mouse story arcs with Chloe's frank, show-stealing narration...Kurian's highly anticipated thriller will undoubtedly lead fans of Gone Girl, Dexter and Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley novels to hope for Chloe's return.»
Booklist, starred review
«Electrifying and entirely unpredictable.»
Woman's Own
«Delivered with panache and wit»
New York Times Book Review
«I devoured this riveting book through a day of travel - in a taxi, on the plane, in the next taxi - and into the night. 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
«Kurian dazzles with a unique protagonist and tight plotting. This one will keep you awake at night and force you to question how well you know the people in your life. Not to be missed!»
Christina Dalcher, author of Vox
«Utterly gripping»
Sunday Telegraph
«A compulsive read...unreliable narrators and plot twists aplenty...goes beyond the tropes of psychopathy, showing the reality of living a normal, average life too. Dark, complex and gripping»
The Skinny
«An up-and-coming voice in fiction...a game of cat and mouse»
Tatler
«An audacious, break-the-mould thriller from a new voice»

«A real treat of a book. I rooted for the nightmarish Chloe from the off, and couldn't stop turning the pages. Gripping, compelling and very satisfying»
C.J. Cooper, author of THE BOOK CLUB and LIE TO ME
«The brilliantly original concept makes this an addictive read.»
Prima
«Witty, acerbic and utterly compulsive, Never Saw Me Coming is a razor-sharp thriller with an irresistibly wicked central character. I couldn't tell if I was scared of, amused by, or attracted to Chloe Sevre. One thing's for sure: I will never forget her.»
