    Never Saw Me Coming
    I was really excited to read this book. The storyline, a group of students who also happen to be psychopaths, being given a free ride at a prestigious university in order to undergo a character study, was very intriguing.
    Unfortunately, it never got off the ground for me. Chloe, the protagonist, was not likeable, or even unlikeable - I found her just blah. And the supporting characters were also not well-drawn - no depth to them, although the author tried. The book was never exciting; it was extremely slow and the only reason I finished it was because I was giving a review. Frankly, I didn't care "who-done-it" or what happened to any of the characters. I wanted to like it, but I just didn't.

    This read like a bad YA novel…..writing very immature and patchy. The setup had tons of holes in it, characters not well developed. It was truly a disappointing entry for First Impressions.
