Hi all, today I’m super excited to bring you my review for Savage Sisters by Heather Atkinson.thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the digital copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
Jane, Carly and Rose Savage are savage by name, savage by nature.
Having lost their mum too young, and with a bedridden father too ill to work, the sisters learnt early to stand on their own two feet. The family’s flat in the rough streets of Glasgow’s Haghill is their fortress, but when Carly’s ex-boyfriend Cole Alexander is released from prison, trouble soon comes knocking at their door. The Alexanders have beef with the Savages, so the girls call for back up in the shape of their uncle Eddie and his two gorgeous but dangerous sons, Harry and Dean.
As a turf war breaks out, the Savage sisters have choices to make. Stick to the straight and narrow or fight for what they deserve? And when the vicious girl gang Jane used to lead, the Unbeatable Bitches, are thrown into the mix, their minds might be made up for them. Because once a Savage always a Savage, and when the chips are down, there’s no one more deadly than a Savage sister.
One of my favourite genres is gangland crime, and Heather Atkinson knows her stuff. Savage Sisters is the first book in a brand new series. I was so looking forward to reading this book that I started reading it as soon as I could.
Set in Glasgow, in the Haghill area of the city. Jane, Carly, and Rose Savage live with their dad Alec, who brought them up after his wife died. Now, the sisters care for him as he suffers from Parkinsons. It’s a hard life, but the girls do it with love. Carly’s ex-Cole Alexander has been released from Barlinnie and, along with his family, is intent on causing trouble with the Savage family.
The girl’s uncle Eddie, with his sons Dean and Harry, come to help them with any trouble, but do they have a different agenda for helping? The storm clouds of war are gathering, and the Savage girls don’t know who to trust. The only thing certain is that they will have to fight… and if there is one thing for sure, they can do that, well!
Gritty, authentic, and action-packed. This thriller was one that definitely delivered what it promised and more. Heather Atkinson certainly knows how to crank the tension up. I always think that the latest book is the best and then comes another one! The Savage family are all great characters. They are streetwise, and when pushed, they can definitely fight their own corner. On the other hand, the Alexanders are total nutters, for want of a better word!
I didn’t realise how addictive this story would be. As each chapter flew by, I was loathe to put the book aside. The more I read, the more I needed to know. Savage Sisters lays a perfect starting block for the series. I am looking forward to the next book and finding out more about the other characters, too.
