Unfortunately, this one just didn't do it for me. I was so excited to get this arc as I enjoyed the authors previous books. I found it really slow and I just didn't like the characters. I had a really hard time staying focused on the story. Oh well .... It won't stop me from reading more by this author in the future.

Really a 2.5/5 but rounded up to a 3 for the rating.

Thank you #netgalley and #stmartinspress for the eARC.

Until I Find You is an emotional, poignant novel written in the points of view of Rebecca, a nearly-blind woman, a recent widow, and a new mother, and that of Crystal, a friend of Rebecca’s who lives nearby. Crystal is also a recent widow but is dealing with a child prodigy of a ten-year-old daughter.

Rebecca is exhausted from trying to survive without her considerate husband who helped her navigate her world as she loses more and more of her vision. Raising a baby while seeing is difficult, but while blind infinitely more so. She’s felt for several weeks that she’s being followed, that things in her house are being rearranged, that doors she knows she locked are unlocked, but she—and everyone else in her life—attribute her paranoia to fatigue. But one day, she faints in the park. Friends take her home and watch her baby while Bec gets some rest. When she awakens, she knows the baby in her arms isn’t her son. The police seem more interested in maintaining the pretense that their community is free of crime instead of helping Bec.

In Until I Find You, Frey pulls the reader through every emotion Bec has: her confusion, paranoia, grief, love for her child, and the horror she experiences when she realizes the baby she’s holding isn’t hers. She suspects everyone, and the plot twists keep the reader guessing until the end.

Rea Frey is one of my 'newish' favorite authors. She always seems to make her books feel very realistic. Like they could actually happen to you. I feel like her writing absorbs you completely in the novel. While I was reading Until I Find You, I forgot where I was. I was completely wrapped up in the book. I believe an author's job is to transport you to another time and place, if only for a short time. Rea Frey does that and more. Her characters are relatable, believable, and realistic. She develops her characters with expert precision. I would read anything Ms. Frey writes! Five Stars!

Truly my heart was in my throat reading this novel!
A Mother never gives up! This describes Rebecca Gray.
She has a had a year nobody could understand.
Her husband and mother are dead, and she has a disease that has now left her almost sightless.
The best part of her life is that she has her three month old son that she loves with every ounce of her heart.
She knows every part of his body, his mannerisms, his smell and his needs.
She is exhausted, lacking sleep, but despite setbacks, making her way in the world as a new mom!
When she goes to check on him in his crib after a long day, she realizes; this baby is not her son!
There is no way he is her little boy and she is on a mission to find out where her infant has gone and just who is this baby that is now in her home?
Why does nobody believe that this child that Rebecca has now, is NOT her child? Has she lost her mind?
I was surprised at the end of the book! It was not what I thought.
I have read all of Rea Frey's books and this is definitely a good one!

This author does not disappoint, so when I found a new book by her, yes, I read it!
This time we are offered a woman that should, and is so broken, she has lost her husband, her mother, and now her eye sight. On top of this she thinks someone has taken her baby, and left a different one.
How would she know if she can’t see? As a mother you know their smell, and being blind leads to other senses taking over. How can she even go on?
How we get to know what happened to her little one is a journey, and you will be suspecting everyone, and no one went unnoticed in my mind, but when the answers came I was definitely surprised, I never saw it all coming.
From beginning to end you will wonder if Rebecca is mind playing tricks on her, how could something so horrible happen?
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher St. Martin’s Press, and was not required to give a positive review.

Rea Frey is becoming one of my favorite authors and she does not disappoint with her latest, Until I Find You. Lots of plot twists, turns and pages that keep you reading until the end. Definitely recommend!

Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Until I Find You by Rea Frey is a powerful novel that kept me on the edge of my seat...I couldn't put it down! Rebecca Gray, a young, blind, widowed mother faints at the park and is taken home by her friends, who help put her baby to bed while she rests. When she wakes later and goes to get her infant son, she realizes that the baby is his crib is not her son...but who is he?

The police don't believe that her baby has been switched, but she knows it, after all, she is his mother. But even her friends are skeptical...the baby looks just like Jackson and after all, she is blind, how can she tell? Bec is adamant and with the help of her former lover Jake, she sets out to prove that everyone is wrong and to find her son. But is she right or is she chasing after a fantasy?

An excellent novel, I'd like to thank the author, St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel for my honest review. Don't miss it!

Life has been pretty tough for Rebecca Grey recently. A degenerative eye disease is causing her to lose her sight, she moved into her mother's home in the suburbs to raise her infant son after the death of her husband. A few months later, her mother also passes away. It's hard enough being a new mom, even tougher to be blind as well. She has few close friends, but feels guilty asking for help. On a seemingly normal day at the park with other moms Rebecca passes out, in those few seconds her life is changed. When she goes to check on her baby, she realizes it is not her child. This baby looks almost exactly like her son, and while sympathetic, she realizes nobody actually believes her baby was switched. As the hours and days tick by, she is frantic to prove she is not going crazy and needs to find her son.

The first half of this book really dragged for me and it just wasn't keeping my interest. I'm not sure if it was the writing style or what. By the second half, I was engrossed and while I had an idea of what happened, I was surprised at the revelations. I personally felt it was a bit far fetched, but it was still a nice read and I'd definitely recommend it.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the complimentary ARC of this book.

I cannot imagine being a new mom, new widow and blind. The only way it can get worse is if you think someone swapped out your baby for another and no one believes you. Everyone thinks you are losing it.

This is the basic plot line for this story. I could feel the frustration of Rebecca, the main character.

Definitely plot driven. Lots of foreshadowing if you can pick up on it. But, the ending is still a surprise.

Entertaining and fast paced!

I am becoming a big fan of this author! I think I have read every book she has written so far. I really enjoyed her latest "Until I Find You" Our main character Rebecca is blind, recently widowed and a new mother which made this book a bit different than others that I have read.

Who would actually take a baby and replace it with a different one ? Is Rebecca paranoid or is she on to something ? A mother always knows and she knows that this baby is not hers. Friends and the police think she is confused but Rebecca has to do whatever she needs to in order to find her Jackson. The book was suspenseful and had me turning the pages. The premise was a bit implausible but did not detract from my enjoyment of the book.

This story left me with goosebumps at the end. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next! 4 stars!

A big thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book!

This was a quick read an I really do like this authors writing but I did find the premise of this a little unbelievable for my taste. I wasn’t connecting to the characters or storyline so I was skimming to see what happens next. I’ll continue to read this author this just wasn’t my favorite.
Thanks to Netgalley for my advanced ebook copy.

I thought this was an interesting read. However, I found the whole foundation of the storyline too unbelievable to be able to give this book a rating higher than a three. Hopefully the authors next book will be as good as her previous books.

Recently widowed Rebecca is navigating the world in darkness while also raising her young baby. One day Rebecca picks up her son from his crib but quickly realizes it’s not her beloved son at all. Someone has switched her son with another baby. Unfortunately, nobody in her life believes her, except an old boyfriend. Rebecca will stop at nothing to find her real son.
Great read with twists and turns that you won’t see coming.

Being a mother to a newborn is difficult. You are tired and moody most of the time. Now imagine that you are also blind and recently widowed. Motherhood would be much more difficult. Rea Frey shows us just how difficult and frightening it could be in her new book.
Bec just lost her husband and her mother and now is paranoid about losing her son. Is it the lack of sleep or the grief that is leading to her thoughts? Perhaps it is a combination of the two.
Her friends and neighbors are noticing that Bec is not herself. So when she claims that her son has been swapped with a different child, they aren't sure whether she is telling the truth or whether she has lost her mind. The police thinks she is confused. Being left on her own, Bec decides to find her son herself and to figure out whose child she now has living in her home.
This story touches on every feeling that you have. You feel Bec's grief, her confusion, her frustration, and her love for her son. You feel the horror that she feels when she first thinks that her son is not her own. Rea Frey brings the characters to life in such a way that you feel like you are walking beside them, living their lives.
Everyone is suspect. The twists in this book will keep you guessing to the end. You'll want to keep reading because you need to know what actually is going on with Bec and her community of friends.
Thanks to Netgalley and St Martin's publishing for the advanced copy of the book. The opinions are my own.

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.
