This book brings it ALL! It was an artful melding of twisted psychological thrills and nail-biting suspense. Truly a MUST for your TBR list!
*I received a complimentary ARC of this book in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.
If you’ve never read Kristi Belcamino’s work, this stand alone stunner is great place to start. I was literally hooked from the first paragraph and quite honestly hated to put the book down. The characters are well developed and believable. Belcamino continues to feature a strong female protagonist who is determined to avenge a wrong. This is one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read in a long time, and I highly recommend this book.
Kristi Belcamino has produced another thriller that is a page turner. Sofia’s daughter, Kate, is found murdered. The police are looking at the wrong suspect. Sofia takes to finding her daughter’s killer. She is coming for you. A mother’s quest to find her daughter’s killer and make him pay.
Omg! I just loved this book ! Poor Sofia ,I could not even imagine my daughter being murdered. It keeps you on your toes all the way through! I cried and laughed and got angry ! FABULOUS!!!
Excellent! What a GREAT read! Sofia is devastated after learning her 17 year old daughter, Kate, is murdered. She is determined to find out who killed her. Sofia has secrets in her past that she would like to keep there, but unfortunately, the truth must come out. The story kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt for Sofia and Jason and what they were going through to try to go on living after such trauma. I throughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.
Great book. While it may seem like a simple murder mystery, it’s lots more. It’s about a strong woman with a secret, and about three generations of women and how they intertwine. Good suspense and tension. I think it’s Kristi’s best book so far, even better than The Shadow Man. Highly recommended!
A thrilling tale of secrets, loss and betrayal
Coming for you is a thrilling tale of secrets, loss and betrayal. This story memory jumps between the 1980s and 2017 telling the truth of secrets held by a mother and her daughter including the dangerous consequences of keeping them. There were so many twists in this book I wondered what roller coaster I got on while reading. Kristi Belcamino has crafted a thrilling adventure for readers full of secrets, loss and betrayal.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
I received an ARC of this book. Here are my thoughts:
This story is for every parent who loves her child. “Don’t mess with Mama!” Sophia has tried to lose her past, has tried to live a ‘normal’ life. And she did, for many years. But is her past now catching up to her? Can she overcome her heritage, her DNA? Belcamino tells about a mother who is determined to right the wrong that has been dealt to her. In doing so, her past just might be revealed. Tense, deep, family drama and resolve are all in this tale! Of course, Kristi Belcamino’s protagonist is Italian! Great read!
I don’t normally read stories about murdered children but I am glad I did this one. I loved it! The characters are well developed and the story keeps you guessing. I could totally see myself in the main characters place. It was hard to put it down to work and sleep!. I highly recommend.
This thriller has twists and turns that keep you reading. Kristi has written and reported on many high-profile real cases. This gives her a different style of writing than other mystery writers. Well written story with strong and believable characters. Must read.

This author never disappoints. Another action thriller with female lead. Lots of twists, but easy to read. You feel like you are involved right next to the Sofia and won’t back down. Another great character…. keep it up Kristi. Always a fan of your works..
This book hits the mark at EVERY level! One of those books that once you start, you just can’t put it down! A strong storyline with an amazing lead character that just refuses to leave anything unfinished! No spoilers in this review, but know that the book has tons of twists and turns, murder, intrigue, and visits relationships among the characters as you would expect in any EXCELLENT read! This book is NO exception. A page-turner that completely envelopes the reader to the point that you must keep reading…if you haven’t read any of Kristi’s books yet, what are you waiting for? This is a great place to start, you will be completely hooked (such a wonderful author) and you will want to go back and read more of her books. ONE CLICK this book now, make sure your Kindle is charged. Grab a glass of wine and lock the door so you won’t be interrupted. The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that I finished it! This is my honest feedback after receiving an ARC.
When Sophia’s daughter is murdered, she decides to take matters into her own hands. During her quest for justice, she unfortunately finds her past catching up with her. This book will make you consider how you might react if one of your own children was murdered.
Coming For You has so many twists and turns that it made me want to read it all in one sitting. Just when I thought I knew who murdered Kate, in true Kristi Belcamino fashion, I was proved wrong.
A Thrilling Page Turner!
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Had me from the beginning, didn’t put it down till I was done. This is one of those rare gems that pulls you in and utilizes all your emotions. If you like to “get lost” in a book this is a great one.
Coming For You was excellent! So excellent that the dimmed and darkened screen of my Kindle glowed until the wee hours of the morning despite having to get up early.
Sophia Kennedy and the cast of characters were very realistic. Nearly every person was carrying a secret, or secrets, and that added perfect twists to the story. The sadness, guilt, anger, and heartache Sophia went through was portrayed extremely well. In fact, the attention to the detail of each person’s life and reaction to the situation added to the story perfectly.
I liked the back and forth style that Kristi Belcamino used in this book, giving the reader the real time story as Sophia processes her daughter’s death and Kate’s thoughts and actions in the months before. Even with these details I wasn’t sure who was guilty until nearly the end.
Loved it, the characters are as always strong. Loosing a daughter and finding justice is compelling . Hard to put down.
COMING. FOR. YOU Kristi Belcamino
A party for the last week end in which the three couples would have children at home, next week they would be at college. For Sophia she still adores her husband and likes the time with him. Kate their only daughter would be missed. The worst fear, when Sophia’s daughter is missing and now a murdered victim. Sophia is strong, and is dealing with what she has to. The past of Sophia or what all Kate was into, fake ID’s to go to a bar. . The tight knit group is falling apart. Once again the author has set a riveting plot with deep emotions of what Sophia is going thru and what she sets out for revenge.
Her readers will want to read. and one can hope there will be more of Sophia again. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Coming for You by Kristi Belcamino is a standalone novel that grabs you immediately and does not let go.
If you’re familiar with Belcamino’s other fiction (if you’re not, you should be!) you already know that her protagonist is going to be a strong woman who will do whatever is necessary to right a wrong or make sure that those who did the wrong pay dearly. This is no exception.
Told from two points of view, Sofia the mother and Kate, her murdered daughter, Coming for You offers a far more nuanced thriller than many others. We not only have the excitement of the hunt but the reflection on what makes a relationship. This book is as much about relationships as it is murder and revenge.
Like many thrillers, going into much detail risks ruining the twists and turns, so I will leave that largely alone. As a thriller it stands with any other out there. I want to talk about how the personal aspects of the story can and will speak to a reader’s own life. While we hopefully will not deal with such an extreme reckoning in our own lives we all have secrets we keep from those we love. The fear we usually have is about what would happen if those secrets invaded our currently constructed world.
For most of us those secrets might cause embarrassment, perhaps even jeopardize a relationship. Whatever it may be, this commonality with Sofia and her plight gives both an edge to the story and an avenue for most of us to empathize with her. This connection gives the action of the novel that much more power. In addition to what might happen if our secreted past intrudes in our present we also have to think about how having and protecting that secret may have influenced how we constructed our relationships with people we otherwise share everything. It isn’t about right or wrong but about living, plain and simple. And in this case, someone dying.
I highly recommend this to readers who like the white knuckle thriller, especially when revenge is included. This will especially appeal to those who like characters that are intelligent and reflective and, most importantly, relatable.
I have read and loved all of Kristi’s books! This one is no exception and has quickly become one of my favorites. Coming For You is an emotional, thrilling story about a mother’s worse nightmare. Sofia’s daughter Kate has been murdered. But is the murder due to Sofia’s past. What I enjoyed most is this story is told from both Sofia’s and Kate’s standpoint. The reader learns each of their deepest secrets, desires and thoughts. There are several twists and turns leading to a dramatic conclusion.
I highly recommend Coming For You . This story is all about relationships between couples, high school girls getting ready to go off to college, boyfriend and girlfriend, mother and daughter as well as husband and wife. Sofia is a realistic, believable, kick-ass mother. Coming For You is a story which will stay with the reader long after you have closed the book. This one is not to be missed!
OMG OMG OMG!!! This has to be one of the best books I have ever read! The characters are complex and the storyline…well let me tell you, this book won’t let you put it down!!
