Perfect use of psychic solving a cold case! Protagonist had a lot of family drama to handle and the author makes it shockingly real feeling. Romance was a little forced.

What a captivating story! The premise was so unique and fresh. Our main character is a psychic astrophysicist, a combo that you wouldn't expect. Ms. Heaberlin executed her perfectly along with all the other characters. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book.

In Julia Heaberlin's latest mystery, a psychic is enlisted to solve a missing child's cold case.

I enjoyed this read, which read more like literary fiction than a thriller to me. This novel was 100% character driven, with beautiful writing and smart characters. I especially loved the protagonist's balance in being both a scientist and a psychic and her ability to occupy both worlds with expertise.

While the plot moved slowly for my taste, I certainly recommend this novel to all who like sharp characters and big ideas in their reading material.

Review in progress and to come.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

Julia Heaberlin has a way of drawing you in with her characters and mysteries. Heaberlin is one of my favorite authors and this new story did not disappoint. I feel like Vivvy is a character that could show up in another novel. Possibly one that will give us answers to the story’s one unanswered mystery. If you like mysteries with a bit of supernatural mixed in, you will enjoy the turns this book takes.

Julia Heaberlin earned a spot on my auto-buy list with Black-Eyed Susans, and I might love this story even more. Engrossing and scrupulously plotted, with gorgeous prose and one of the most memorable protagonists I've read in ages, Night Will Find You is an absolute must-read from an immensely talented author.

When Vivvy Bouchet was only ten years old she saved a boy’s life. An impossible prediction was needed to make this happen. Now, Vivvy is all grown up and has become a brilliant scientist. The boy she saved has become a Fort Worth cop and is begging her to use her “psychic” abilities to help with a high-profile case he is working on. Vivvy agrees to help, but as word of her involvement gets out, she may be in for more than she bargained for.

Julia Heaberlin has created a quirky and engaging story here for your reading pleasure. I really enjoyed it. Vivvy’s character really stuck out to me, I loved her quirky and nerdy personality. Great story and great writing! Thumbs-up!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be shared to my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

This was an interesting read, written in a style that took some getting used to. Descriptive, twisty, intelligent writing. The heroine is quite a character, and her backstory plays a big role in the story.

I quite liked this. Not your average read.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Get this book! This gritty and claustrophobic story will put you in and keep you up reading!

Vivvy Bouchet is the daughter of a psychic and pursued the unlikely job of an astrophysist as an adult. She is in her old town, cleaning out her mother's home following her death when she is pulled into kidnapping case. The police, for the most part, do not see a use for her, but she quickly makes a name for herself.

It's a well written mystery, very believable thriller and a great all around dark and fascinating book. If gaze at the heavens, pause by a tarot reading sign or just want your next thriller to be gritty and sharp, Night Will Find You is for you! #Flatiron #juliaHeaverlin, #NightWillFindYou

NIGHT WILL FIND YOU
BY: JULIA HEABERLIN

I read and reviewed an early ARC of "We Are All the Same in the Dark," and absolutely LOVED it! In fact, it is an all time FAVORITE psychological thriller that I plan to re-read after finishing this review. Saying that I was thrilled to get a chance to read Julia Heaberlin's newest masterpiece called, "Night Will Find You, is a huge understatement. This newest psychological thriller is a genius work of art. The prose is gorgeous, and I LOVED this one, aptly titled, "Night Will Find You, which is perfect. The characterization and plotting are Brilliant and Stunning!

Vivvi Bouchet is the narrator, and she is definitely a strong female protagonist. She grew up without a father figure, and her mother held many jobs to support Vivvi who has had an impressive education at Harvard in which she received her doctorate as an Astrophysicist. She has risen and gained some fame at the young age of twenty-eight with an astrological discovery. She would like nothing more than to get back to her scientific research.

When Vivvi was just eleven years old she saved her brother-in-law Mike's life by predicting that he was going to be struck down by a blue horse, which turned out to be a blue car. Vivvi's mother was a psychic by which Mike who now works for the Fort Worth Police Department, believes Vivvi to also have a gift at psychic abilities, also. Vivvi's mother has just passed away, and she has the job of cleaning out her mother's things, because Vivvi's older sister took care of their mom as she was dying of a brain tumor.

Mike thinks that Vivvi's skills as a psychic will help his colleague Detective Jessie Sharp resolve a lawsuit that has been filed by the mother who was convicted on circumstantial evidence of killing her three year old daughter Lizzie Solomon. Detective Jessie Sharp is skeptical that Vivvi has the ability to help with this case, that has caught the attention of the Mayor of Fort Worth, Texas, who has his eye on for helping him win the the office of Governor.

Vivvi is given some photographs and she shuffles through them, and instantly points out to Jesse Sharp that the photograph of a charm bracelet laying among some leaves doesn't belong in the photo array. However, when Vivvi was shown the photo of the three year old Lizzie Solomon she had written the word *Alive* on a sticky post it note and, had attached it to the photo.

Vivvi had promised her mother before she died, that she would follow up with all of her mother's clients. When one of them happens to be Lizzie Solomon's mother calling from prison, Vivvi finds herself making a trip to visit Lizzie's mother in prison. She noticed on her drive to the prison, that she is being followed by Detective Jesse Sharp.

This was a multifaceted psychological thriller and mystery that is epic in scope. Not only does it explore the Scientific Method, and its applications, but it takes a hard look at conspiracy theories, and their pervasiveness on society, with a very unlikable character capitalizing off of them. It also explores Faith. This just might be Julia Heaberlin's most ambitious novel written, yet. Unforgettable & Unique.

Received a complimentary ARC of Night Will Find You by Julia Heaberlin from Flatiron Books/NetGalley. Scroll past the BOOK REPORT section for a cut-and-paste of the DESCRIPTION of it if you want to read my thoughts on the book in the context of a summary.

BOOK REPORT
I already had this and a couple of other books by Julia Heaberlin on my To Read list when I got the chance to read an advance copy of Night Will Find You, so I jumped at the chance to see if this wildly popular author’s writing would be my shot of whiskey, so to speak.

Short version: It is.

Longer version: I don’t know if “aspirational escapism” can be considered a thing, but somehow that’s what this book offered me—a chance to escape to a place and life completely unlike my own, but that in many ways I’d once wanted for myself. And kinda still do. Mainly, living in Texas, communing with the “other side,” and solving crimes.

This is one of those books, though, where the total experience was greater than the sum of its individual parts. In short, if you like this sort of thing, read it and enjoy it for what it is; don’t try to parse it out.

Looking forward to more afternoon escapes with Ms Heaberlin!

DESCRIPTION
“An expertly rendered mystery, complete with compelling characters, an impeccably paced plot, and surprising twists...A must-read!” —Heather Gudenkauf, bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

A scientist and reluctant psychic is brought in to find a girl who went missing long ago in the new novel by Julia Heaberlin, the bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark.

Vivvy Bouchet, daughter of a known psychic, was ten when she saved a boy’s life by making an impossible prediction. Now she’s an astrophysicist in Texas, devoted to science, but the boy she saved has become a cop who continues to believe she can see things no one else can. When he begs for help on the high-profile cold case of a kidnapped girl, Vivvy steps back into the ocean of voices that once nearly drowned her.

She is forced to team up with detective Jesse Sharp, a skeptic of anything but fact. When Vivvy becomes the target of a conspiracy theorist podcaster, she fights back with both her scientific mind and her inexplicable gifts, hoping to lure a kidnapper, find a child who haunts her, and lay some of her own ghosts to rest.

Sharply relevant, Julia Heaberlin's Night Will Find You explores the mysterious nature of belief—in psychic power, in science, in conspiracies, in a higher power—and the delicate dance between scientific truth and the things we can’t explain.

It seems like 2023 will be a year of celebration for thriller lovers, with lots of mind-blowing, intelligent, exquisite, and unique works! This extraordinary book is just one of them that blew my mind away with its compelling, multilayered, original characters, addictive, intense portraits, dark, complex, bone-chilling atmosphere that gives goosebumps, raising the little hairs on your neck and keeping you on your toes!

Honestly, I didn't want this book to end! Vivvy Boucher is one of the best fictional characters you will find yourself fangirling over (at least that's what I did!). I even thought of ordering t-shirts emblazoned with her name and favorite quotes from her late mother. She's an astrophysicist with a PhD at twenty-eight, and she's also a psychic who can see visions by touching objects that belong to people. When she was only thirteen, she saved her teenage neighbor Mike's life by warning him about blue horseshoes that turned out to be a blue car coming towards him!

Years later, Mike becomes a police officer, married to her sister Brig, and he requests Vivvy's help to solve a cold case about Lizzie Solomon, a three-year-old girl whose mother has been convicted of killing her, and is behind bars.

But Vivvy becomes involved in the case by doing something unexpected - touching the little girl's bloodstained pink bow and writing a post-it note: "ALIVE!" That's why she's summoned to an interrogation room to face the pretentious, skeptical, and intimidating police officer Jesse Sharp, with his fashionable dark boots caked with mud. He tests her abilities by showing her a few crime scene pictures, but he uses a tactic to surprise her by showing her crime scene photos of two lost girls. Thankfully, Vivvy is talented enough to catch him in the act.

Jesse reluctantly accepts to work with her, despite his disbelief and concerns about the methods Vivvy is performing, acting like he's ready to catch her making a mistake and scream at her, calling her a charlatan!

Vivvy has no idea that the investigation into the sudden disappearance of the three-year-old girl at her haunted Victorian house, where she's assumed to be buried behind the walls, will put her own reputation, sacred history, job, dysfunctional relationship with her sister and Mike, into danger. She also has no idea that she'll be the target of a supremacist, conspiracy theorist, fanatic podcaster, Bubba Guns, and his hateful worshippers coming after her.

She barely deals with the voices in her head, the unresolved love triangle she finds herself in, the memories of her late mother, and the tragic incident in their house that has haunted her present life. Her undeniable attraction to Jesse Sharp even though she still has hesitations to trust him fully complicates things further.

She's not only looking for Lizzie Solomon, but she's also searching for answers about the girl who wears the charm bracelet that she's seen in the crime scene photo that Jesse Sharp showed her at their first meeting. When she gets closer to finding the truth, she has no idea that the truth she finds will complicate things more than she ever imagined.

Overall, I didn't want this book to end. I could have read more about the adventures of Vivvy Boucher day and night, getting locked inside her nerdy, extra-intelligent brain, her ramblings about scientific facts, her peculiar tactics, her wisdom, power, and her uniqueness to cross a line between science and beyond the realm. I could have watched seasons of a series based on this novel or read many sequels if Julia Heaberlin decides to bring her back!

I can honestly say that, even though it's the end of February 2023, and I've already read many upcoming thriller ARC copies, this book is, by far, my favorite, even though it has some really brilliant and strong rivalries. I absolutely advise you to read it if you're also a big fan of supernatural thrillers, twisty mysteries, and crime thrillers like me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for sharing this fantastic book's digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest opinions.

An exploration of a brilliant woman's relationship with science and the supernatural, Night Will Find You is a darkly captivating and propulsive page-turner from a master of Texas thrillers.

Julia Heaberlin is amazing at setting scenes and bringing characters off the page and into your imagination. I love that she unraveled this story at the perfect pace and in a way that had me hooked from cover to cover. Don’t miss out on this book!

I really enjoyed this one. I liked the premise and the implementation. I am so over women who are drunk or on drugs and I was worried that this was heading in that direction, but thankfully it stopped short of that. An engaging read for sure.

Whenever I pick up a novel by Juila Heaberlin, I know I won't want to put it down. Night Will Find you was engaging, had great pacing, a relatable heroine, and plenty of mystery. I wish there had been more about Vivvy's talent and less about Bubba Guns, but that's a personal preference as I already cannot stand those types.
