Le Medium
Lui seul peut la sauver…
À la merci de son kidnappeur, Zoé Rossi, danseuse à l’Opéra de Paris, attend la fin. Car elle va mourir, elle le sait. L’homme qui la retient prisonnière dans ce sous-sol humide et sombre n’est autre que le Faucheur , un tueur en série insaisissable que toutes les polices d’Europe cherchent par tous les moyens à arrêter. Mais lorsque celui-ci lui montre enfin son visage, Zoé est déstabilisée. Non seulement il ne ressemble en rien au monstre qu’elle s’était imaginé, l’homme qui se tient à présent devant elle, l’air perdu et désorienté, avoue qu’il ne sait plus ni qui il est ni ce qu’il a pu faire. Alors pourquoi en sait-il autant sur les autres victimes ? Lui-même ne sait pas l’expliquer. Ce qu’il sait avec certitude en revanche, c’est qu’il n’est pas un assassin. Peut-elle le croire ? Ou bien n’est-ce que le commencement d’un jeu tordu entre un prédateur et sa proie ?
Pendant ce temps, le beau-frère de Zoé est contacté par les enquêteurs d’Europol. Pierre Valmeur, célèbre médium et guérisseur, se joint bientôt à eux pour tenter de retrouver la jeune femme avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.
Vous allez vouloir connaître la fin !
Plongez-vous dans ce thriller où enquête, mystère et surnaturel s'enchaînent dans un suspense à couper le souffle.
(nota bene : ce roman est paru initialement sous le titre Au Bois Dormant)

Zoé a été kidnappée par le Faucheur, l’homme qu’elle soupçonne d’avoir tué sa sœur. Cependant, celui-ci semble désorienté et perdu, et est très attentionné. Joue-t-il avec elle, ou est-il vraiment innocent?
Malgré quelques zones floues ou révélations qui auraient méritées plus d’explications, j’ai vraiment aimé cette histoire et la façon dont elle est tournée! L’autrice arrive à nous faire douter de tous les personnages, sa plume est superbe. J’ai adoré la partie du point de vue de Johan, qui était à mon sens le plus intéressant. Le thriller, le fantastique (avec un don super intéressant et original) et la romance s’équilibrent parfaitement. J’ai été bluffée par l’aspect scientifique extrêmement bien décrit. J’ai dévoré les pages de ce roman afin de connaître la vérité! J’avoue que j’aurais peut être préféré une autre fin… mais j’ai nettement préféré celle-ci à l’alternative. Je recommande!

This is an excellent book for those who also love paranormal stories.
I Will Find You written by Julia Salvador is an enthralling paranormal murder mystery novel that sinks readers into the world of Zoe who is trying to find her missing sister. I love paranormal murder mystery stories. This story unfolds in modern-day France where the Europol police struggles with the task of tracking down a serial killer known as the Reaper.
Zoe’s life is turned upside down when her sister went missing. She puts her own life on the line for answers. Zoe is fearless and determined to find her sister who has been missing for quite some time. She is sure the Reaper has kidnapped and murdered her sister like the other women on the news.
In a basement tied and gagged Zoe comes face to face with Johan who claims not to be the reaper yet doesn’t let Zoe out of his sight. He leaves her tied up but is kind to her confusing the lines between kidnapper and victim. She reluctantly acquiesces to his commands.
As if in a partnership, they embark on a journey trying to figure out where Zoe’s sister is. Zoe’s perseverance, and the love she has for her sister drove her forward. Johan assures Zoe that he is not the reaper, yet he locks her up. Bound and gagged, Zoe’s thoughts raced as she thought about how her sister, and many other women, would have been tortured and killed. The author gave vivid details of Zoe’s kidnapping and how she was held hostage. The psychological game kept me guessing as to the identity of Johan.
Europol calls in a psychic to help with finding the victims and uncovering the identity of the reaper. The psychic gives grim and haunting details of the whereabouts of the victims. The author created a chilling atmosphere detailing the bodies of the women and where the reaper buried his victims. However, the psychic is having problems with seeing the identity of the reaper. The psychic makes a disturbing request to the police.
If it wasn’t for Zoe’s determination, she would not have been able to figure out who her sister’s real murderer was.

Bonjour, je viens vous donner mon avis sur ce très beau thriller de cette auteure qui ne m'a pas déçu.
J'ai trouvé ce livre très original et durant ma lecture, je retournais l'histoire dans tous les sens pour essayer de comprendre ce qu'il se passait vraiment.
Illusion ou réalité ?
Mensonge ou vérité ?
Je ne savais plus où donner de la tête et c'est ce que j'apprécie dans les thriller, alors je le reconseille vivement !
Résumer l'histoire s'annonce complexe, ce que je peux dire c'est que l'on va suivre Zoé Rossi qui part à la recherche de sa sœur qui a disparu mais Zoé vas se retrouver retenue par un homme qui n'est d'autre qu'un tueur de sang froid, qu'on surnomme "Le Faucheur" sauf que lorsqu'elle fait sa rencontre, tout bascule.
Toutes les idées qu'elle avait de lui vont s'effondrer…

What an exciting read. This had it all. Murder, serial killer, love.
Zoe Rossi and her brother-in-law are on the hunt for the serial killer, The Reaper, who might have kidnapped her sister. But, she has been kidnapped by the Reaper and she knows that she is going to be next to be murdered.
When she is alone in the basement, a man arrives there to tell her he is saving her, but she believes that this is the Reaper. Is she going to be his next victim. In the search for the truth, nothing is as it seems in this one. I love the introduction of the Medium, who can see the future.
Hope there is another in the series!!!

4,5/5
WOW! On n’est pas loin de la perfection. Les thrillers ne font pas partie de mon style d’habitude mais cette intrigue est vraiment originale et bien pensée. Tout est intéressant. C’est juste dommage que la fin soit aussi rapide. Je trouve ça bâclée (que la fin bien sûr). Ça m’a peut-être réconcilié avec les thrillers.

A Different Kind of Story
This is the first book I have read by this author. It kept me guessing. I liked the ending and I will read more by this author. Also I really liked the book cover, it hooked me with the ads.

Very good, more than I expected. Pace was hectic, I was reading fast. Happy to find the plot was not the same old tired play that's been overused by countless writers. I almost didn't click on the book. So glad I did.

Très bon livre que j'ai eu du mal à lâcher ! Les plot twists sont assez prévisibles mais ça ne retirent rien à l'histoire qui est très bien écrite.
