Have you ever read a thriller with a vision impaired protagonist before? I’ve read one before this one, but jeez what a premise. Bec has degenerative eye disease and has a newborn son, Jackson. She’s also a widow and is completely on her own when it comes to raising her son. First of all, being a mom to a newborn is rough y’all so I can’t even fathom how much harder it would be having limited sight. Throwing in grief on top of all that Bec is dealing with made this one such an emotionally charged thriller right from the start and definitely had me hooked after the first chapter.

This is a slow burn as the action doesn’t really start until a good chunk of the book has passed, but I think this may have been purposeful because the beginning is all spent detailing how Bec lives her life on a daily basis and this is very important as events unfold. The audiobook narration was excellent, you could hear Bec’s desperation come alive via the narrators voice as she tries to convince her friends and the police that the baby in Jackson’s crib is NOT her son. See, she’s very in tune with how her son feels, smells and sounds and the baby in her arms is unfamiliar and wrong. But no one believes her and as she gets more and more frantic I was getting anxious on her behalf. I can’t even imagine how frustrating the whole situation would be and I was totally hooked! This was compulsive, suspenseful and felt really original, if you like thrillers with an emotional component check this one out!

Bad things happen to good people. Good people do bad things. Which one is it?

Rebecca Gray has much loss in her life and her hope is in her baby boy. She has lost her husband and is slowly loosing her sight. She is alone in raising her son however, she has friends and is in therapy in handling her grief. She has her way of coping with her blindness in taking care of her son Jackson. She has bells on his feet and is constantly touching him. He is a good baby and responds to her loving touch. When she suspects being followed and someone in her house, she feels like she is losing her mind. However, she trusts her motherly instincts when it comes to the welfare of her son and when her baby begins to cry unexpectantly, she knows this is not her son. He feels different, he sounds different. With the help of her old boyfriend who happens to be a detective, she must convince him and her friends that her son has been switched. The question becomes why a baby switch? Why Jackson? And how can she prove it?

Motherhood is one of my favorite proses however, I wasn't feeling it with this one. The narration was done with two moms who were going thru a grief process. Crystal and Rebecca. Each had different circumstances. Crystal had an older daughter Savi and their relationship is broken with their loss of father and husband. I related with the struggles of Crystal and her daughter than Rebecca. Rebecca came off to me as a martyr complex that was disappointing. I also felt the story line had some flaws. Like DNA testing and the whole run around. The story line of Crystal was more compelling. Motherhood is still a big part of the prose for each woman and how they handled their grief.

A special thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This was a very good book. It did start out a little slow, but picked up quickly. I felt for the mother and wanted to go there and help her! It is a must read! I would recommend this book!

What a great story. You can feel how Rebecca must feel. Not only is she losing her sight, but now her son has been switched and no one will believe her. There is lots of great twists and turns and at one point Rea has you believing that Rebecca might actually be wrong. Great story for all.
Thank you St. Martins Press for the advanced copy

This was quite an intense thriller. Imagine you are nearly blind, you lost your husband a year ago, just had a baby three months ago, and your mother - the only other person who you was helping you navigate the world - also recently died. Now you feel you are being watched and followed, things start moving around in your home, you hear strange noises in your house. Then, one day you go and pick up your son from his crib, and it's not your son. You know it's not your son. You don't have to be able to see him to know his feel, his smell, his cry. You don't have many friends because you are new to the area and have shut a lot of people out. Those that you do have think the stress of everything you went through, along with the exhaustion of new motherhood, is wreaking havoc with you and playing tricks. They think your baby looks the same as always - after all, don't all babies kind of look the same at that age?

Sure, I had to suspend belief a bit. But, I was happy to do so because this was completely creepy and unnerving. What was going on? Who was involved? How would this all play out? Why was this happening? So many questions, and I was glued to the pages until the very end.

Rebecca is a young widow with a three month old son. She's navigating life on her own, after losing her husband, and her mother. On top of these tragedies, she's slowly been losing her sight to a degenerative eye disease. Now living in her mother's house, she's made a few friends with the other mothers in the neighborhood, and also with Crystal, another mother she met in a grief group. She's managing for the most part, until the unthinkable happens one day and she becomes convinced that someone swapped her infant son with another baby.

Until I Find You takes a reader through a range of emotions: sadness, depression, anxiety, and terrifying worry. While some characters were enjoyable I found others to be irritating, particularly when refusing help for an easily solvable problem. Overall, I enjoyed the writing in this book and found the ending to be satisfying.

Until I Find You is a very addicting suspense novel that is different from anything I've read recently!

Rebecca has been struggling to manage her grief after the loss of her husband, her mother, and the continuing degeneration of her vision. However, she is a wonderful mother to her three month old son Jackson. Lately, Rebecca has been feeling as if she is being watched. She hears unexplained noises and finds things misplaced in her home. When one day Rebecca goes to retrieve Jackson from his crib, and discovers another baby in his place, she struggles to find anyone to believe her or to help her find her son. Though Rebecca is convinced that her child has been switched, no one in her new mom friend group can confirm that he is not Jackson.

This is a dark story that is almost frightening at the beginning, but turns into more of a mystery or domestic drama in the latter half of the book. It really highlights the struggles of being a new mother, while also dealing with grief and a disability. I thought that the author was very sensitive and consistent with the aspects surrounding Rebecca's vision loss. I was completely absorbed while reading and had to find out whether or not someone took Jackson, and who it could be! I think due to the suspenseful build up, I expected something a bit darker or more intricate for the ending. I did love how it looks at the aftermath of various events, as well as the thorough development of the characters and their relationships. I would definitely recommend this one for a quick, enticing thriller!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

You know the baby is not yours but no one believes you. Why? Because your blind so how can you tell. But a mother always know best.
A compelling read .
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc in return for an honest review.

I didn't find this to be very realistic in emotions or facts. Having a blind woman with a child was an interesting angle and her "knowing" her son was certainly plausible, but how her friends and others around her treated her seemed off. Getting information on his birth verification seemed not likely, as well.

This was a different kind of thriller but it was very engaging. It makes you think about sight being a very important sense when it comes to pretty much anything, especially being a mom. It is a story about a blind mother/widow that knows her baby was swapped after she passed out but know one believes her because she is blind.

This is my first book by Rea Frey and I loved it!!! Such an intense ride through out the book!!! I look forward to more books by this author!!! Read and enjoy!!!

Rebecca (Bec) has lost her sight, husband, mom, and now her infant son has gone missing. Wow, how much can one person endure? She is the epitome of not giving up! No one believes her, they all just seem to be indulging her, so she is left with no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

Bec gets my full admiration! She is incredibly strong and unforgiving. Her losses are piling up and yet she pushes on. She is one amazing woman and should never be underestimated!

For the life of me I wasn’t sure how this would all turn out. There was a missing piece of the puzzle that I just could not see until it was revealed.

This is my second book by Rea Frey and I can officially now call myself a fan! She is a terrific author who writes stories that grab ahold of you and don’t let go until the bitter end.

Until I Find You was a fascinating and thrilling book. At times, I was so upset with the way Rebecca was being treated. I cannot imagine how frightening it is to know that you have the wrong baby but nobody believes you. This book will keep you guessing. Don’t miss it!

Thank you to Rea Fry, St. Martin’s Press, St. Martin’s Griffin, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I've read all of this author's books and this is another unique thriller about a child. I can't imagine being a parent who has very limited vision, and a single parent struggling to deal with the loss of her husband, and then her mother, and the author does a good job of putting us in Rebecca's (the mother) shoes.
She is convinced someone has been entering her home, following her on the streets, and when she is positive that her infant, Jackson, has been switched with another baby, Rebecca (Bec) is in full-blown panic mode. I enjoyed her spunk and determination to do everything on her own, and although she has supportive friends, and an ex-boyfriend who sweeps in to help her with the case, we do see Bec push ahead on her own, determined to find her son, and also, to find out who the other infant is.
It's a thriller that will make you nervous as you cheer Bec on!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this thriller.

OMG! This was the most chilling tale I’ve read in recent times. Author Rea Frey was one heck of a writer who could keep me sitting on the knife’s edge wanting to know how the story would end. From the concept to its execution, I found myself reading the tale with bated breath.

The blurb pulled me in at first. Bec was visually impaired. She had lost her husband Chris a year back and her mother recently. She had a baby to look after with failing vision. A series of incidents happened to her which spooked her until one day she picked up her fussy baby and realized just by touch that it was not her child. Where was baby Jackson? And why had they left her with stranger baby?

With such a beginning, I was completely immersed in the life of Bec. She was etched so carefully. With her vision blurring each day, I couldn’t help empathizing with her condition, but I was so damn proud of her for never giving up. The author had etched a mother’s love so powerfully.

The entire plotline was so well pieced together that I too had a hard time trying to guess who could have pulled the nasty prank on her. The author added another twist to the story when the cops refuse to believe a blind mother. That really pulled my heartstrings and I was really enraged at the people who knew her, yet refused to believe her. It was now up to Bec to prove that she was not telling a lie and find her baby.

The story was fast-paced, the writing smooth evoking so many emotions from me. Bec was a character who would stay with me for a long time. Her courage inspired me, her love for her child caused my heart to gush over her, and the way she battled her way to the truth made me admire her. The author truly gave me a book that made me forget the world over the afternoon.

A few niggles as some parts of the incidents that happened to her were not explained clearly. But those could be let go when I looked at the story in toto. A compelling read made which lured deeper into the story, all thanks to the main character.

Until I find you is the shocking story of a woman's desperate search to find her missing child. This book not only blew me away but made me uncomfortable in the best of ways. As a mother myself, I was literally on edge of my seat from start to finish. I literally CANNOT imagine.

This novel was emotional and nerve-wracking and played on one of my biggest fears. I would absolutely loose my shit if one of my children were taken! And on top of that to be blind when sight would easily resolve this strife is INSANE! It was also refreshing to read a thriller that felt relatable, I was actually able to connect with its main character for once. Don't get me wrong I will always be a sucker for the cheating spouse, murder your BFF, someone is peeping in my window type thriller, but those things feel like fantasy in my world. Could they happen? Sure. Likely? Not really.. AHH the wonders of fiction. BUT the truth is that children DO get taken, more than any parent would like to admit. And for that reason this book was bloody brilliant and distressing.

Everything uncomfortable about it aside, this book also gifts us something else. It gifts us a reminder of the unbreakable and powerful bond between a mother and her children. Until I find you is a definite must read. If this book wasn't on your radar before now, I highly recommend that you remedy that!

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

After a fall in the park, Rebecca (aka Bec) realizes the baby in her care is not her son. Bec suffers from a degenerative eye disease and lives as a blind woman. She finds it difficult to get the police and her friends to believe the baby isn't hers. After all, they believe the baby looks like her son.

Bec is an intriguing character. Losing her sight is challenging enough, but Bec has also recently lost loved ones. Her husband passed away nearly a year ago and her mother passed weeks ago. She's also become more anxious about her son. When she claims her son has been taken and another baby left in his place, no one seems to believe her. How and when could such a thing happen?

A compelling story with well-developed characters. Suspenseful, dramatic, and enjoyable.

While I don't recall precisely how this title first caught my attention, I must say that once I started reading it, it completely captivated me from start to finish! Set in Elmhurst, Illinois (a fictional first for me - it's always fun to read stories set in towns that you are familiar with!), Bec moved into her mother's house after the sudden death of her husband. The book opens not long after the subsequent death of her mother, as Bec navigates not only her grief, but also in caring for her three month old son without the use of her sight.

Bec's blindness certainly adds to the overall suspense of the story - especially when she begins to think that all is not right in her home. And nightmares become reality one afternoon when she wakes up to discover the that baby in her crib isn't her son at all. Needless to say, this is definitely a page turner! But, as the story unfolds, there are a few things that do seem to defy logic (particularly the police procedure). And while I always appreciate a Marshall Fields reference, this doesn't work for the timeline presented (unless of course, Bec has access to a Delorian and the capacity to hit 88 mph without hitting anything else without her vision). Still, despite these few niggling distractions, the book thoroughly hooked me. I did find the final resolution to be a bit overly neat and was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more to it, I still read this in practically one sitting! Frey certainly knows which heartstrings to pull to keep the reader turning pages! And I did appreciate the thoroughness of the epilogue. I didn't love everything about this one, but I would still read more from Frey in the future!

A great read. It takes the kidnap plot and twists it and starts your heart beating from the first chapter to the last. Rebecca Gray is dealing with life changes in big ways. She is losing her sight,has lost her partner and is raising the beautiful Jackson all on he4 own. I guess to cope she has become part of a group of women who are all mothers ,who meet in a local park to gripe and share the joys of motherhood. A fainting spell finds Bec waking up and realizing the child she brings home is not hers. A fact no one believes,and local law enforcement is slow to investigate. Frustration is the overriding factor playing out here. Bec contacts an old boyfriend who is a detective,he brings a detached prospective needed to push the case along. All along questions are brought to the surface, how new moms cope with the ever changing dynamic that is child rearing. It all culminates in a heart wrenching reveal, that begs the question of compassion and forgiveness and how to live beyond hurt.

This is a terrifying book if you are a mother but I just couldn't put it down. Imagine someone swapping your baby and then nobody believes you. The main character Rebecca is nearly blind which added a unique perspective to this story. There were a few things that were kind of left unexplained which really bothered me (basically all the things that made the character seem unstable so not explanation was given). In looking back all the clues were there to help you figure out what happened. If you like reads where the narrator is unstable so you question what is real and what isn't then you'd like this.
