They Called Me Wyatt by Natasha Tynes

3.0

«no matter how many friends you make during your life journey, your family is your backbone.»

First of all, I wanted to thank the author for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel.

The book is centred around the mystery of unsolved murder of a twenty-five-year-old Jordanian student, Siwar, whose soul was transferred into a body of a newly born boy, Wyatt. Twenty-five years later, together they finally get the chance to figure out what exactly happened on that unfortunate night.

THEY CALLED ME WYATT is unlike anything I've read before. The first part of the story was a bit difficult to get through, narrator jumped from one topic to another erratically, and it actually reminded me of a muddled stream of consciousness, which it essentially was, and the main character, Siwar, was constantly angry and frustrated, which is quite understandable. Honestly, who would enjoy being murdered and then being locked inside of a three-year-old child. Nevertheless, i was hooked up from the very beginning. The second part was much easier to read, Wyatt and Siwar’s voices were easily distinguished, and the twist was completely unexpected.

THEY CALLED ME WYATT is coming out 11 June, so if you're a fan of crime stories, and you are looking for something new and original, you should definitely check this book out!
