Rebecca is a blind 20 something woman who recently is widowed trying to raise her 3 month old son. He suddenly goes missing but this isn’t a ordinary kidnapping, he was switched with another baby. No one believes her and she’s on a mission to find her “Jackson”. I couldn’t put this book down! This is my 3rd book by this author and i recommend all her books!! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review.

Rebecca is blind and has a son only a few months old. Her husband died before his son was born. Rebecca, or Bec as she is called, had been to the park with her son, Jackson, and some other mothers. She had fallen and hit her head so a friend took her home and watched Jackson while Bec had a nap. Later, when she woke and held her son, she realised the child she held was not her son. Of course, no one believes Jackson was swapped for another child, they feel Bec is under a lot of strain because of her husband’s death, her mother’s death and her blindness. She receives a call from an old love, Jake, who is a cop and he helps her. Very tense story, full of action.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rea Frey did not disappoint with this new novel due out in August. Perfect summer read while on vacation.
I could not put this psychological thriller down. Suspense, twists and turns.
People sometimes are not who they appear to be.

Rebecca Gray has suffered great loss with her husband and then her mom. She was diagnosed in her twenties with a degenerative eye disease and blind trying to raise Jackson, who her husband never got to see. She knows her baby, the way he smells, the little mark on his neck, the eczema. So when she says "this is not my baby," after fainting in the park, she knows.
Will Jackson be found, or is Rebecca just under alot of stress, as everyone assumes?

Surprise ending! Order this book! You won't be sorry. Can't wait to read more novels of Rea Frey.v


Thank you to Publisher and NetGalley for the eARC.

***Thanks to NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of UNTIL I FIND YOU by Rea Frey in exchange for my honest review.***

Recently widowed and recently blind, Rebecca faces challenges raising three-month-old Jackson. One day she believes Jackson has been replaced by a different baby. No one believes her. Not her friends. Not her former lover. Not the police. Bec knows her son and he is not the baby in Jackson’s crib. She’ll stop at nothing to find him.

A few streets away, Crystal, also recently lost her husband unexpectedly. She bonds with Rebecca in a grief support group and tries to help the new mom while managing her difficult ten-year-old daughter.

I couldn’t imagine going blind and having to protect myself when out in public, let alone be responsible for a newborn. More than once I was curious why Bec didn’t put her son’s welfare ahead of her desire for independence when she thought she was being followed or that her house had been breached. I had a hard time putting myself in her shoes because I’d accept all the help offered.

Capgras syndrome is a psychological/neurological disorder where people believed a loved one has been replaced with an imposter. Though relatively rare and most often occurring in dementia patients, I wondered if the syndromes causing Bec’s blindness could have affected the neuropathways that can sometimes cause the disorder. I was surprised none of the professionals suggested that. I also wondered why professionals didn’t do a blood test for DNA, these days DNA doesn’t take long to process. Additionally, certain blood types can’t produce other blood types, so in some cases maternity could have been quickly dismissed.

UNTIL I FIND YOU starts slowly and feels a bit repetitive until Jackson’s (possible) disappearance. I was initially more interested in Crystal’s chapters, curious why she employed a nanny who seemed to triangulate mom and daughter. Young Savi ran that household, which was never addressed. Crystal chalked the behavior up to grief, but never set limits.

Rea Frey created lots of red herrings, very possible suspects if Jackson had been switched. I assumed he had been, as the book would probably be less interesting in the end, but I was never really sure until the end of the book.

UNTIL I FIND YOU is a great choice for mystery, thriller and women’s fiction readers and would also make a good beach read.

In Rea Frey’s latest psychological thriller we meet Bec, a sight impaired mom who faints, only to awaken to a baby she’s convinced is not hers. We immediately get sucked into Bec’s world, learning just how far she will go to find her son. I could not put this book down.
