"The heroine of this psychological thriller is, improbably, an astrophysicist and psychic. Narrator Karissa Vacker captures Vivvy Bouchet's smarts and the urgency with which she goes after the mystery of Lizzy Solomon's disappearance."- AudioFile

“Narrator Karissa Vacker delivers a propulsive performance of Heaberlin’s latest, an intricate and layered supernatural thriller. Vacker’s characterizations are spot-on, capturing stubbornness, impulsivity, and intelligence.” - Library Journal

“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.

Brilliant! I can’t get enough of this author’s work. Off to immediately find another!

[Ninoshka Aviles · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love this books so much. Its been over a week since I finished it and ai cant stop thinking about it. One of my favorite reads this year, if not the top.

[Nicole McClenic · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I was not wowed by this book. The main character is boring. The supporting characters didn't make sense. And love relationship at the end didn't add up. It was a throwaway unnecessary twist. The author threw any ploy in this book from the outcome of different missing girls, angry podcaster, sister concens with a boyfriend, and finally, an angry skeptical detective. It was all too much, and I didn't care about any character or the actual outcome of the cases. The final incident in on the water was all too much and completely unnecessary. Two whiskers for this one.

The narrator does a great job. The book is interesting but there are parts that don’t seem to fit with the plot.

[Jill Ann · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A wonderful story about a young woman who is both a physic and and astrologist and her quest to balance all the forces at work in her life both in the present and her past. Full of surprises that keep the reader intrigued until the end.

I hadn't read anything by Julia Heaberlin before, so didn't quite know what to expect, but the premise was interesting so I dove in. And I'm so glad I did - this was an interesting take on the mystery/thriller genre, starting with the main character, Vivvy Bouchet. She's a unique combination of science and faith - a talented astrophysicist who's received a grant that has brought her back to Texas, where she's also dealing with the death of her mother, who was a psychic. Vivvy has her own psychic abilities, which she tries to keep under wraps. Her past is complicated, and revealed in flashbacks to her childhood and teen years. But when a high school friend who's now a cop asks her for help with a cold case involving a missing girl, she reluctantly agrees to take a look and is drawn in by what she "sees". Smart and atmospheric, I was completely drawn into this one. The narration by Karissa Vacker was excellent, as her narrations always are. I'm definitely looking forward to reading Julia Heaberlin's past and future books.

The book started out with an interesting plot and unfortunately went slowly downhill. First of all the author's character Bubba Gunns is obviously a thinly veiled version of Rush Limbaugh. The author also throws in every woke trope possible its tired and truly unnecessary to the plot. The other thing rather disappointing about this book was the main characters psychic ability. This was the main hook of the story and it is zillions of pages and woke bullshit thrown in before she even gets to using her psychic ability (which there was really very little of). By the time we get to the end of the book I am exhausted by the character of Vivie. I think from now on I am going to look at all dates when books have been written and not read anything after 2020. Also, how funny the book is cheering on Elon Musk, who is now hated by the left because God forbid he believes in freedom of speech. Elon Musk is awesome for supporting the first amendment, its what allows one to write an honest review. Don’t waste your time on this garbage.
