Chloe is one of 7 students at her college in a clinical study - they are all psychopaths. When a student in the study is found murdered, the hunt is on to find the killer.

This was a very interesting concept. It was fascinating to get into the mind of the psychopathic characters and see the story from their perspectives.  Due to the nature of the characters, all of them were pretty unreliable which, I think, made the story more interesting because you never knew who to trust. 

None of these characters are very likable, but they are very intriguing. It fascinating to read about how the interact with each other and try to manipulate one another.  

I wish that we hadn't jumped between so many characters and between 1st and 3rd POV. It got to be a bit too much and made it difficult to connect with anyone. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters and I think that was a huge missed opportunity. We all love a morally grey character, but in this case, I didn't really connect to any of them.

I wish that we had a bit more storyline involving the twins. I felt like their story, though so important to the plot, was thrown in as a bit of an afterthought.
