Heather Atkinson – Savage Blood

Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.

When a turf war breaks out on Glasgow’s schemes, there’s only one thing for it – the Savage Sisters and the Blood Brothers will have to fight as one.

Carly Savage has lost the two people she loved the most – first her father and then Jack, local gangland boss and love of her life, was brutally attacked and died in Carly’s arms. Grief has changed her. Carly’s sisters Jane and Rose are worried she may never recover.

But the need for revenge drives Carly now and she will stop at nothing to destroy her enemies, Cole Alexander and her cousin Dean. When the Savages’ boss, Queen of Glasgow Toni McVay’s reign comes under attack from Cole, Carly realises this is her chance. If she can bring Cole down, then the Savages’ place in Toni’s gang will be secure and she can have her revenge.

As rebellions break out, tensions build and Toni’s kingdom looks more fragile than ever, the Savages know they need help. There’s only one other gang Toni trusts, the notorious Blood Brothers from the rough Gallowburn estate. Carly knows that together they’d be an unstoppable force. Now all she has to do is persuade them…

Bestseller Heather Atkinson’s page-turning Savage Sisters series comes to a shattering climax but who will survive? Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Jessie Keane and Kerry Barnes.

The fifth and final book of the Savage Sisters series! Savage Blood was a book I have been waiting for! Heather Atkinson is one of my go-to authors for gangland (among other genres). I have followed this series from the start and couldn’t wait to catch up with the characters.

Carly is still grieving from the events in the previous book. The need for revenge is still strong. She is driven to destroy Cole Alexander and Dean, her cousin. Toni McVeigh is the queen of Glasgow, and her reign is attcked by Cole, giving Carly an opportunity to get rid of Cole and cement the Savage’s place in Toni’s gang.

Woah, this book is perfect for the finale of this series! It’s dark and gritty gangland, for sure. What I will say is it may be gangland fiction, but there are big emotions running throughout. The bonds of family play a major part in Savage Blood. Whether loyalty, distrust, or just out and out enemies, they are there.

I just raced through it, even though I didn’t want it to end,I couldn’t help myself. I had to see how it all turned out. It’s such an addictive read, but that’s all the series. I would suggest reading them in order to get to know everyone who is part of the series.

Gripping, tense, and totally immersive! Brilliant book!
