They Never Learn

Description
From the author of the "raw, ingenious, and utterly fearless" (Wendy Walker, USA TODAY bestselling author) Temper comes a dynamic psychological thriller about two women who give bad men exactly what they deserve--perfect for fans of Killing Eve and Chelsea Cain.

Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor. But she's even better at getting away with murder.

Every year, Dr. Clark searches for the worst man at Gorman University--professor, student, or otherwise--and plots his well-deserved demise. Thanks to her meticulous planning, she's avoided drawing attention to herself...but as she's preparing for her biggest kill yet, the school starts probing into the growing body count on campus. Determined to keep her enemies close, Dr. Clark insinuates herself into the investigation and charms the woman in charge. Everything's going according to her master plan...until she loses control with her latest victim, putting her secret life at risk of exposure.

Meanwhile, Gorman student Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year. Finally free of her emotionally abusive father, all Carly wants is to focus on her studies and fade into the background. Her new roommate has other ideas. Allison Hadley is cool and confident--everything Carly wishes she could be--and the two girls quickly form an intense friendship. So when Allison is sexually assaulted at a party, Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay...and turning her fantasies about revenge into a reality.

"A gorgeously written ragestorm of a thriller" (Wendy Heard, author of The Kill Club), They Never Learn is a feminist serial killer story that you won't be able to put down.

I definitely preferred the serial killer narrative moreso than the college student narrative but I understand why is was written in that way. I enjoyed this book so I'm going to look the author up for some more potential reads.

I really enjoyed this story line! This was just well thought story about a woman vigilante and her past not really catching up with her.

I really enjoyed this book, read it in one sitting, the vibe was so good, I predicted the plot twist before it happened so I wasn’t shocked but I still enjoyed it, the vigilante “good for her” “killerwoman” “love quinn” mood was so enjoyable. Spoiler: I also really enjoyed the last part, except I don’t think Wee deserved to die.

Plot twist happened towards the middle of the book making it boring to finish.
