What's Coming to You

by Shivani Jai

Mari never imagined she'd end up with someone as handsome and charming as Mason Goodridge. After six years of marriage, their relationship is far from perfect, but she refuses to give up on what they've built together. Little does she know, Mason's got other plans, and in one horrific night of discovery, her world comes crashing fatally down.

Now that Mari's gone, Mason is determined to reclaim his life on his terms, but something always gets in the way. He's gone from hometown hero to the most hated man alive, plagued by threatening phone calls and strange occurrences; his increasingly possessive mistress is off the rails; his mom is becoming dangerously suspicious; and even though Mari's death was ruled an accident, the detective assigned to her case seems to believe otherwise.

No matter how hard Mason tries to control them, each woman is inching closer to a secret that, if discovered, would mean his total destruction. For one of them, that's the goal.

About the author

Shivani Jai has always had a thing for big feelings, bold characters, and stories that stay with you long after you've finished reading. A lifelong movie lover, she followed her passion to Hollywood and spent 13 years in film and TV publicity, spinning stories behind the scenes, but eventually realized she had stories of her own to tell. Her debut psychological thriller, WHAT'S COMING TO YOU, is out this summer and pulls no punches.

Shivani has a master’s degree in communications and documentary production, which sounds very serious, but mostly means she knows how to get to the emotional core of a story. She lives in Los Angeles and writes the kinds of characters that live loud in your head—flawed, vibrant, and all too real.

Picked up this book & couldn’t put it down! It was such a good read. The author does a great job with engaging you from the very beginning. You head right into the plot and you’re left wanting to stay up all night saying to yourself, “just one more chapter.” I also love the realistic aspect of trying to internally balance knowing you want something for yourself while battling what you know is best for you. Definitely recommend for your TBR!!

What’s Coming to You by Shivani Jai had me locked in from the very beginning because Mari wastes absolutely no time opening up her life to Mason, and immediately something feels off. The vibes are wrong, the tension is thick, and you can tell this man is the type to charm you one minute and tear you down the next. Mason is manipulative, narcissistic, and thrives on making Mari feel small just so he can feel powerful, which made me hate him early on. I loved how the story unfolded like a movie, slowly tightening the screws and letting the reader sit in that unease while Mari is trying to build a future with someone who is clearly not who he presents himself to be.

What really stood out to me was how realistic the dynamics felt, especially when it came to power, money, and control. The way Mason leans on Mari and her family while still thinking way too highly of himself felt painfully familiar and very true to real life. Ryan calling Mason out was deeply satisfying because somebody needed to read him for filth, but even then I found myself questioning everyone. The tension around who to trust, who knows what, and who might be playing their own game kept me second guessing everything. Even the investigation side of the story had me frustrated in the best way, because watching people fall for Mason’s charm while red flags are waving everywhere was infuriating.

This book really shines in how it keeps you unsure about Mari’s fate for most of the story, and I loved not knowing if she was dead or alive. The details surrounding what happened to her felt unsettling and wrong, which only added to the suspense. By the time the truth starts to come out, I was furious, satisfied, and still wanting more consequences for the people who deserved it. Mason is one of those characters you love to hate, and while I did feel like the ending was a little rushed, it did not take away from how intense and addictive this story was. Shivani Jai delivered a messy, twisted, emotional ride and I was eating it up the whole time.

Payback’s a…

White knuckle thrill. Awesome first book for Shivani Jai and I hope Netflix or one of the other streaming services is paying attention to her. Great story and some truly despicable characters that you just want to see get what’s coming to them. Highly recommended and I look forward to see what comes next from her.

I was hooked and honestly a little angry from the very beginning. Mari could have done so much better than Mason. He reminded me of the narcissistic ex I had in college, and I feel like every girl has that guy. In Mari’s case, she actually marries him.

I loved how the author captured the way a man like Mason can flip on the charm, make a woman feel chosen and lucky, and then leave her doubting and hating herself for staying. The paranormal elements were fascinating and added so much depth, and I really enjoyed the shifting points of view from all the characters.

I was gifted this copy by the author, and I truly could not put it down. It is one of the best thrillers I have read in a long time. I will be recommending it to my friends and to any publishers I know because this story deserves a wide audience. If it were ever adapted into a movie, it would be terrifying in the best way. The scariest part is that beyond the paranormal, the human behavior is frighteningly accurate.

Thank you so much, Shivani, for this incredible book. I will treasure my copy and hope everyone gets the chance to read it. An amazing, wild ride with five huge stars.
