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.… (more)

I liked this book, it did a lot of the things I wish I could do, but I feel like the biggest twist happened too early, so the rest of it dragged a bit. ( )

LOVED this book!

We've all met one or a few of those guys that think women can't function without them. They provide the support, wants & desires that women need to survive. I wonder how many of these predatory men would continue their actions if they knew that women had finally had enough and were not going to tolerate it anymore ....I wonder.

This author has written another book "Temper" and I can't wait to get my hands on it. After only reading one of her books, it's safe to say, she will be an auto buy for me. ( )

Sometimes a good vigilante story with a sociopathic main character is just what you need. A little black and white in the man hate, but then again, this was from the point of view of a serial killer who you aren't exactly supposed to like, so I guess that's on brand.

The ending was a lot convenient and not much to my liking in general, but over all this was an entertaining story that I listened to while organizing my overflowing library. ( )
