Captivating, suspenseful, and emotional this story about the amazing bond between mother and son will pull you in immediately. with a degenerative eye disease, Rebecca's life goes dark, and things get dangerous. As a recent widow, with a new son, she needs her friends more than ever. Going instinct and conviction, can she bring her boy home? Fantastic.

A genuine five star thriller for me. I don't know how Rea Frey isn't one of the biggest names in thrillers and how I didn't hear more buzz, but I loved it!

A parent's worst nightmare is something happened to their child/children. Now imagine you are a single mother, you are blind, and your son is only three-months old. You have never visually seen your son. You only know information such as eye color and hair color because someone else has told you. However, using your other senses, you have "seen" your son. You know he has a patch of eczema behind one ear and a small notch in his collarbone, possibly imperceptible to the naked eye but not to your experienced fingers. You know his cries and his temperament. Now imagine you have had a day where you have experienced health issues. You go into your son's room in the evening to take care of him and you realize the boy in the crib is not your son. However, no one believes you. The boy looks like your son, Jackson. And you have been acting somewhat paranoid lately, thinking someone was following you at the park one day, coming home to find your front door open when you know you locked it, discovering your son's playpen has been moved, etc., but when the police have come to check out your house, nothing out of the ordinary has been found. Your friends think these oddities are just a symptom of sleep deprivation mixed with grief (as your husband and your mother have died within the past year). Plus, "baby swaps" just do not happen, especially not in peaceful Elmhurst, IL. That is the situation facing Rebecca (Bec) Gray in "Until I Find You."

The story details the events leading up to the baby swap, Bec's realization that Jackson is gone, and her efforts to find Jackson despite the doubts of her friends and the police. Her best friend Jess wants to believe her, but the idea of a baby swap seems too outlandish and the baby really does look like Jackson. Bec's ex-boyfriend and police officer, Jake, is back in Chicago, working homicide, and they re-connected just before the baby swap occurred. He wants to believe her and he does what he can to help, but he deals in facts and there are too many things that don't seem to add up. The only person who believes her, once she finds out, is a relatively new friend, single mother (10-year-old daughter) and widow, Crystal. Bec was a world-class celloist and has a photographic memory, so she has been giving lessons to Crystal's daughter, Savi, who is a cello prodigy. With the police not willing to help and her friends skeptical, Bec sets out to find her son on her own. She is eventually able to find some clues and with persistence and a little luck, as well as help from Jake, Jess, and others, she is able to prove that the boy she has been caring for, and with whom she has grown attached over the past few days, is not her son. The story behind the boy's identity and the who, how and why of the baby swap, as well as how Bec finally finds Jackson, is quite creative. The author does a wonderful job of portraying the lengths a parent will go to protect their child, the power of grief, and the added difficulties that a disability pose when trying to convince people (friends, the police) that something unimaginable has happened. The author has created a riveting, emotionally powerful, and rather unique thriller. "Until I Find You" is well worth reading.

I received a copy of the e-book via NetGalley in exchange for a review.

I liked this book but it got somewhat repetitive when describing Rebecca's feelings. I felt like she was just jumping all over the place with her emotions. I did enjoy the suspense of what happened, and felt the other characters were developed well. I would have liked to see a bit more of the relationship between Jake and Rebecca as well. All in all, a good read and I will recommend for purchase

As a mother, one of your biggest fears is losing your child, and the mother in Until I Find You, Rebecca, has to contend with that fear in a unique way - she is a visually impaired single mother, and the baby in her son's crib is not her son. Not only is her son missing, but she is also positive she is being stalked, and keeps finding evidence that someone has been inside her house. The premise of this book is fantastic, and I was excited to read it; however, I quickly grew to dislike everyone in the story, none more than Rebecca herself. She continually refuses help of any kind from everyone who offers, repeatedly puts herself and the baby she has in danger, and makes extraordinarily rash decisions. Not to mention the fact that the one person she trusts has conveniently appeared back in her life after years of absence. It all feels very convoluted and a little over the top. The best part of the book for me was her friendship with Crystal, and the unfolding of the truth about it. But even that wasn't enough to make up for the loose threads left dangling, the seemingly unnecessary plot devices introduced and then abandoned, and the overall annoyance the main protagonist inspires. After reading it, I don't think this is a thriller so much as it is an exploration of one woman's journey through a trying, horrific event, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when it's guised as a thriller, you're set up for disappointment from the jump.

OᐯᗴᖇᐯIᗴᗯ: Rebecca is a young, blind mother who recently finds herself alone after her husband’s death. One day after a walk to the park with her son, Bec returns home to find her door open. Even though no one is in the house, she knows someone has been there because things are not where she knows they should be. Even worse, one day when she picks up her baby, she is convinced he is not her son and no one believes her.

ᗰY TᕼOᑌᘜᕼTᔕ: I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't imagine knowing the child you have is not yours and having no one believe you because you are blind. The suspense was on-point and I couldn't wait to see how it all came together and was resolved. This was my first book by this author and I'd definitely like to read more.

ᖇᗩTIᑎᘜ: ★★★★

Thank you to NetGalley, Rea Frey and St Martin's Press for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the build up of suspense and tension in this novel! No one anted to believe this poor mother because of her loss of sight, but she knows her baby. I actually started to wonder if she was going a bit crazy or if someone was playing tricks on her for a while. You really can't help but feel distressed on her behalf and wonder if any of her friends are actually the ones with her baby. The lead up to the end was amazing and I really enjoyed how it all ended and why they chose her baby in the first place. Definitely a tension filled, thrilling novel that I would recommend.

After losing her husband in an accident, Rebecca Grey (Bec) tried her best to bring up their three-month-old son, Jackson. But with each passing day Bec was finding life was becoming more challenging because when she was in her twenties, Bec was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease and she has gradually been losing her eyesight.

Bec takes Jackson to the local park each day where she meets up with other mothers and their babies. Lately Bec has a strong sense that someone is stalking her, but who and why is the question that plays on her mind. When Bec arrives home after being out she immediately knows someone has been in her house or is she just being paranoid due to sleepless nights.

The day Bec takes a fall at the park, her friends take her home whilst she is resting they take care of Jackson. What happens next is going to change Bec's life, but when Bec tells people what happened, they don't seem to believe her and think that she is suffering from exhaustion.

Until I Find You by Rea Frey was an emotional, captivating and well written book that I enjoyed a lot.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my digital copy to read and review.

This story was largely enjoyable. Books about child kidnappings usually keep me engaged. As a mother they tend to pull on my heartstrings and this book was no different.
I loved the cast of characters and the romance angle brought a bit more depth to the story, I think.
I really enjoyed the idea that our main character, Bec, could be this brave woman who faces her fears head on despite having suffered major loss in her life and being blind. It’s terrifying to me to think of losing your vision and having to raise your child on your own. She was a fierce character.
I would say that the storyline was unbelievable to me at various points, namely the fact that nothing was really done when she reported her child missing and that she was just allowed to keep Oliver. It seems to be that that is not an accurate portrayal of police procedure and it did deter me from completely investing in the story.
All in all it was fast paced and enough of a nail biter to keep me engaged, and I would recommend it in the future. I also look forward to reading Frey’s other books.

Rea Frey is a master of stories.
You will not want to put this book down.
You will feel every emotion in this story of betrayal, heartache and devastation.

Can’t wait for Rea Frey’s next book!

Rea Frey has a knack for psychological suspense, and this book delivered. The suspense starts when Rebecca, a widow with a three month old son, believes she’s being followed. She is blind, due to a degenerative eye disease, and is very independent, discouraging help from her grief group and her small group of mothers.
After a a medical incident leaves her cloudy and unstable, she I’d determined that her baby son has been switched with another infant. Of course, the police and those around her question her stability. She calls for assistance from an ex boyfriend, who happens to be a police detective.
This is a gripping,tense filled story as Bec is suspicious of everyone. This is a story of a mother’s love and deep bond with her child, friendships, deceit, and secrets that are hidden from others, even in safe little communities.
Rea Frey is a great story teller and her characters are pretty interesting. I look forward to her future publishing’s.

Until I Find You focuses on the potentially malicious swap of two similar-looking babies, preying on a blind woman. After a fall in the park, Rebecca wakes up, reaches into her son Jackson’s crib, and lifts a baby she is convinced is not Jackson. No one believes that Rebecca’s baby is anyone but her Jackson, especially given that she’s blind and cannot see the child. But Rebecca knows her son, and this baby is not him. She becomes determined to find her son, no matter the cost.

I had high hopes for this story. The premise intrigued me: a blind woman has her child swapped. But honestly, the best word I could use to describe my feelings on this book would be disappointed. The story could have gone any which way, but overall it fell flat for me. There was a minimal amount of drama and suspense. It was more mommy drama than a suspense novel. The ending was interesting, and fit with the general feel of the novel, but I was disappointed in that too. If you’re looking for a domestic drama, this is the book for you. But if you’re picking this book up thinking it will be a twisty, lightening fast tale of kidnapping, keep looking.

Thank you to St Martin's Press and Netgalley for the review copy. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest opinion/review. I enjoyed this title and it kept me interested. Rebecca has a hard life and I often thought about how difficult it would be to raise a child blind. The suspense twist to it was delivered and done without much excitement, but still a good book.

I wanted soooo badly to just love this book. I've read other books by Rea Frey and loved them, raved about them. She is an extremely talented author. The premise behind this book is brilliant. A blind mother who is absolutely positive her baby has been swapped with another, yet no one believes her. This is the stuff nightmares are made of!!

I honestly can't pinpoint why I didn't connect with this story. It was slow to get rolling, that may have been it. Or possibly my extreme annoyance that no one believed Rebecca. There are a couple of unanswered questions by the end of the book. For me the story was good, not great. The ending was a surprise to me (which is always a positive).

What I will say is that you should read this book and form your own opinion. I'm in the minority with my 3-star rating. And the author's other books are fantastic. I will still be first in line to read her next book.

My thanks to Rea Frey, St. Martin's Press and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a good one. A mystery/thriller type about a blind woman who has lost her husband and has a newborn baby. So life is difficult for her but she faces it everyday for her son. But something happens to her son. He gets swapped with another baby and she knows and realizes but no-one else seems to believe her. It is a great book. Very interesting and keeps you wanting to read, read, and read it some more. You never know how it all plays out.

I couldn't put this book down. I was surprised by some of the negative reviews of this one. It was suspenseful and engaging right from the beginning. I can't imagine slowly losing my sight and being a young widowed mother at the same time. Would you know if someone swapped your baby with another one? Lots of twists and turns as I tried to figure out what happened!

Until I Find You from Rea Frey kept me captivated from start to finish. It was an emotional and suspenseful read. Rebecca Gray, Bec, is a widow, mother and slowly losing her sight due to a degenerative disease. Having recently lost now only her husband, she also loses her mother. On her own, she is trying so hard to be independent. On a day she is out with her son, something happens and she is sure someone swapped her son, but no one believes her. What follows is her journey to discover the truth and it will keep you at the edge of your seat!

This was a great book! Seeing as I have kids it made it more nerve wreaking.

The pace was great. It kept me engaged and wanting more. I am not exciting to read more books by this author. I believe they are similar to this one.

Bec was relatable and interesting. Also, as a mother I completely understand her.

I really enjoy these type of "women's fiction" books where you get immersed in the main character's life. In this book, I thought it was so interesting to see how Bec, a young, blind, widowed mom, navigated her life - literally. Strange things seem to be happening but no one really believes her because she can't see what is happening to tell people and just a weird feeling is not enough. But when she discovers that her baby is not her own, it is critical to get someone to believe her. Overall, I was very interested to see what happened and see how things were resolved. The ending did leave me with some unanswered questions, but overall, I this was a great book that I would recommend to others.

Even though my son is 26, I can still clearly remember his early days of babyhood and how terrified I was that something would happen to him. In my mind’s eye, I could see myself falling down the stairs while holding him, accidentally dropping him during bath or changing time, or accidentally choking him during a feeding. If I woke up without him in my arms or my sight, I was terrified: Where was he?
