Whispers of a gypsy by J.T. Patten was a fast paced, well written with dark themes with historical facts of WWII.
I don’t want to give too much of this book out, so my review will be short.
This story is set in two different times (modern-day set-in Chicago, and WWII Auschwitz), alternating throughout the book. This is done to give more insight on the character Mr. Mortimer and the terrors that he experienced while being experimented on in a concentration camp.
Dwight is a special needs child who is often bullied and abused by his own father and brother after the death of a beloved family member. Dwight likes to think of his ailments as superpowers.
Quite an intriguing tale of how these two characters find comfort in each other.
The plot was thoroughly thought out, giving you a dark thriller mixed with historical fiction, mixed with horrors, mixed with mythology, folklore (Romani, and Jewish).
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark, fast paced books. There are some triggers that may effect some including: Graphic Violence, Medical Procedures, The Holocaust, Racism, Child abuse, and Domestic Violence.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
