I started to describe this book (psychic-scientist-detective, etc.) to some friends and they joked that I had actually written it and was just pitching my ideas. I did love the main character, and thought it was a pretty good story, but it cooouuuld have maybe been a bit more original! I would definitely still recommend it and/or read a sequel if it’s ever written though.

Vivvy is the daughter of a known psychic and was only ten years old when she saved the life of a boy by making an impossible prediction. Now, shes grown up and is an astrophysicist devoted to science. The boy she saved has grown up to be a cop, and believes she can see things no one else can. He comes to her asking for help with a high profiled cold case of a kidnapped girl.

Vivvy pairs up with detective Jesse Sharpe who is a skeptic of anything other than facts. When Vivvy becomes the target of a conspiracy podcaster, she fights back with her scientific mind and gifts.

This book is being developed as a tv series on Fox. I cannot wait – it’s going to be a great drama. However, the book wasn’t exactly what I expected. My biggest complaint was the pacing, it was rather slow and drug out. I wish this would have been one that I would have preferred to get lost in the audio – which is why I’m excited for the tv show. However, I loved the characters and the writing style. I just want faster pacing in my thrillers. For general fiction however, this one work perfectly and I love it. I love how the ending set things up for a potential second book but didn’t leave you on a huge cliffhanger. Perfect way to end a book the author wants to do a sequel or series in my opinion! The supernatural elements were so fun, and really made me ponder what’s out there.

If you are looking for a great drama with light thrills, then make sure to grab a copy of this one June 20th.

Thank you so much to Flatiron Books, and Netgalley, @netgalley, for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

"I don't believe you either! I believe your mother was a scammer, and you've put on her robe"
*MC looks at her mother's robe she's been wearing*

This story is about Vivvy Bouchet (pronounced the french way), an astrophysicist who has been trying to hide away from her dramatic childhood. When she ten, she predicted doom to befall a neighbor, and was there to save him.

Vivvy is an interesting character that we don't usually see in stories. She developed OCD compulsions as a child, knocking and counting incessantly on her bedroom wall every night while plagued with fears and unwanted thoughts. Her mother, a known psychic, believed Vivvy to be like her and did not get her help that a regular parent might have. Instead, Vivvy and her sister wound up unearthing something as children that put their family in the public eye. Vivvy had since fled her childhood and now focuses on staring at the stars in her job as an astrophysicist

Unfortunately for Vivvy that neighbor she saved, Mike, is convinced she is a psychic and has gotten her wrapped up in one of the most well known disappearances in Texas. Now Vivvy must solve this case while coming under fire from Mike's boss, her late mother's clientele, and a podcast host with an army of crazed listeners.

While I enjoyed several of the characters, especially Vivvy and Joy, I was annoyed that this story feel into the typical "oops-my-psychic-powers-work-only-~sometimes~-and-for-that-reason-I-didn't-instantly-find-the-killer-even-though-I-can-hear-and-see-a-different-man's-last-thoughts-just-by-holding-something-of-his" trope. I had read "astrophysicist and psychic" and thought those two would intertwine in solving the mystery and was disappointed when it didn't. I think that the book started off strong as a supernatural thriller then veered off into "real world" drama, which is why I got through the first half in like 2 days and the second half in 2 weeks.

Night Will Find You was more than I expected. Not only, the audiobook is an amazing experience because Karissa Vacker's narration, but also it was greatly paced and engaging. The story itself was surprising, but not to the degree that would keep me on the edge of the seat. I liked the astrophysics part, which didn't feel like forced Wikipedia copy and paste, but they made sense when processed by the protagonist. Our main character was a likeable and mysterious narrator, and I wanted to know more about her and her perception of the events. I think that played a crucial role in my reception of the story. Overall, I would recommend this audiobook to anybody who loves thrillers but also want to do some stuff around the house at the same time, to greatly keep company yet not to distract with unnecessary details - here I must mention the conflict between the protagonist and the conspiracy theorist group that was equally hilarious as terrifying.
