Publisher's summary

From the author of the “raw, ingenious, and utterly fearless” (Wendy Walker, USA Today best-selling 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’ll Never Learn

… to read genre novels. I could sense the author’s gears grinding to build this plot. Underwhelmed.

Pretty predictable

There’s maybe one or two twists you may not see coming, but overall it was a predictable plot. Performances were very good.

Worth reading

Thoroughly enjoyed this. The overall story was great in my opinion. Definitely what I was hoping for when I chose the book to listen to on a whim. And always happy to see lgbtq representation. The narrator’s were also a pleasure to listen to. Recommend.

Hi enjoyed the overall story and pacing

I enjoyed this book so much. I had a pretty good idea from the beginning where things were going. But it was put together so well, that didn’t bother me at all. And picking the “bad guy“ for this book. It may be one of, the best villain types. Even better than the bad guys in the Indiana Jones movies. You definitely want to hate them and you are rooting for the protagonist. It’s a great read and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Oh, and great narration as well. The acting was super.
