WoW this books is So Good I can't recommend it enough! I loved it

I highly recommend this book 5☆ read.

Big thank you NetGalley, Boldwood Books and the author Heather Atkinson for my ARC of Savage Sisters in exchange for an honest review.

Wow what a great start to a new series
I absolutely loved this and devoured it in a couple of days. I enjoyed the storyline which was fast moving and action packed. It also had me laughing in bits. I enjoyed getting to know the Savage family and their characteristics and can't wait to read the next one

A strong start to a new series, Savage Sisters didn't have a single dull moment from the first page. Heather Atkinson never fails.

OMG!! This was so, so, so good. I was hooked to the story from start to finish and I couldn't put it down until the end. Don't make me choose a favorite - the Savage sisters are pretty badass. Their cousins (Uncle Eddie's sons Dean and Harry) are no less - handsome, vicious with a mean streak.

The story - I am simply mind blown. It starts with Carly hearing the news of her ex-boyfriend being released from prison. She knew he was innocent - well, he wasn't as bad as his elder brother, Ross. The Alexanders had a good rapport with Carly. Cole approaches Carly and he wants to give their relationship another try. But Ross is creating an issue over it and threatens Carly and her family.

When a stone is thrown at their window, they know it's time to call in reinforcements. Uncle Eddie is asked to come over. His two sons tag along. Soon, a turf war begins. Jane used to be in a girl gang before - the new leader wants to destroy Jane and her family. She joins hands with Ross, and together, the rowdy duo are creating quite a scene - the only way to silence them is to fight back.

I loved every bit of this book. It's a Heather Atkinson novel so goes without saying that storytelling, character development and plot-to-story development is simply perfect. As I was reading through, it felt like a movie playing in my head.

To conclude, we have a turf war here - the Savages are fighting with not one but two gangs - a boy gang and a girl gang, three sisters wanting the best for their family, there's love and a dash of oomph. To sum up: everything that a reader looks for in a gangland thriller.

Savage Sisters by Heather Atkinson is a must-read gangland thriller of the year.

I love this author so I was looking forward to this new series and I wasn’t disappointed. After losing their Mum at a young age the Savage sisters were struggling to run the home and looking after their ill Dad. When Carly’s ex boyfriend is released from jail he and his family start causing trouble for the girls. Feeling helpless their Dad calls his brother Eddie for help. After a family rift will this bring the family back together or force them further apart. This is a full on gritty gangland thriller that had me gripped from page one. I look forward to seeing where this new series takes us.

5☆ An Exciting gritty new Gang-lit Thriller

Wow what a read. I haven't read a gritty gang land Thriller in ages and it ticked all the right boxes!

The Savage Sisters truly are Savage by name & definitely Savage by nature!
Jane, Carly and Rose are the Savage Sisters. Looking after their Dad who has parkinsons they will do whatever it takes to protect him and their family.

Carly's ex Cole is out of prison and wanting her back. But his family is trouble with a capital 'T' and she wants no part of it.
If only it was that simple!

The Savage brothers Dean and Harry along with Uncle Eddie turn up to help the Sisters sort out the mess. But are they there, to make things a whole lot worse or spark the Sisters Savage side....I guess you will have to read it to find out!

I have to admit this was a slow burner to start, but wow once it got going the twists just kept on coming.
It was gritty, enthralling and exciting!
The family loyalty and bond was great to watch unfold.
The characters were really well developed and gave you all the right feels, some I loved and some I loathed.
I loved the ending and it paved the way for the next installment which I can't wait to read!

Wow what a book. Savage sisters is the 1st book and I can’t wait to see what is next for these sisters

If you’re a fan of gangland then this book is for you, it’s fast past, and I couldn’t stop reading. In fact I am gutted it’s finished

The author is one of my favourites anyway and I would read anything that’s she wrote

I’d like to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Savage Sisters’ by Heather Atkinson in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

The three Savage sisters, Jane, Carly and Rose, live in Glasgow’s Haghill district where they’ve learnt to look after themselves and their bedridden father. Carly’s ex-boyfriend Cole Alexander is released from prison and very soon he and his brothers Ross and Dominic start planning how to destroy the Savage family. The sisters contact their father’s brother Eddie who with his two sons Harry and Dean move into the area to protect them but he doesn’t realise that Jane, who used to be the leader of the vicious girl gang Unbeatable Bitches, can fight as well as any man if not better.

‘Savage Sisters’ is a well-written gritty gangland thriller where those who live in Haghill learn to look after themselves at an early age or bow down to the gangs running the district. This is the first in an exciting new series that contains all the adventure, suspense and unsavoury characters that I’ve come to expect from this author, and I’m very much looking forward to reading more of the Savage sisters who may be savage in nature but are likeable for the way they support and care for each other. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this powerful novel that’s kept me involved from page one and have no hesitation in recommending it to those who love a bloodthirsty gangland thriller.

What an amazing start to a gangland thriller. It soon became obvious to me that I was not going to put this one down until I had read it from start to finish in one sitting.

Savage by name and savage by nature!

Three sisters Jane, Carly and Rose Savage spend their days either working or caring for their ill father, while the youngest Rose is still in school. They lost their mum to cancer and their dad has early-onset Parkinson's. He was once a feared man as were his daughters, but priorities change and they are now happy to keep their heads down and out of trouble. This is what was happening until Carly's ex, Cole Alexander, was released from prison. His elder brother Ross thought Carly was a bad influence on Cole as she wanted to avoid the family gang business. While Coel was inside things had settled but now he is out she and her family are threatened to keep away from Cole. It's a shame Cole doesn't keep away, he is desperate to make amends with Carly. It is Carly's father Alex who finally makes the decision to call his brother and nephews in.

This is a fabulous, fast-paced and danger edge of your seat crime thriller, if you are a fan of gangland crime then this is one you want to keep your eye out for.

The author has created some characters in the Savage family and some absolute psychopathic creations in the Alexander family. That does not mean that the Savage family are all innocent and sweetness, but when pushed they definitely know how to make a stand and defend themselves. Savage is one word for this family another is brutal, but that could apply to all of the characters involved.

This is one of those books that had me so addicted and the more I read the more I needed to know. The stories of the different families and how they are linked and what they have done in the past give some indications of what is to come, but it was the way the author felt like she had given them free-rein to do what was in their nature that really made this a fabulous read for me. I know they are fictional characters but I was so invested in them that they almost became real. The imagery that the author built up was amazing.

I adore this book a huge amount and it is one that I would definitely recommend if you are after a brutal, gangland crime thriller with some great scenes. I should add that there is a bit of a romance in this and it will be interesting to see if this continues in the next book. I can't wait to see what the auhto9r has in store for the Savage Sisters.

This book was a great story. I didn't know what to expect, but once I started reading, I couldn't put down my Kindle. The book takes place in Scotland, so understanding some of words/slang was a bit confusing at times.

The Savage sisters, Jane, Carly, and Rose lost their mother to cancer when they were just kids. Their father, Alec, stayed home to get them through their grief. Now Alec is living with early onset Parkinson's disease, his once healthy body, is now failing him. Jane, the oldest, went out and got a job to help support the bills. Carly stays with Alec during the day, taking care of him, then she works nights in a pub. Rose, the youngest, is finishing high school. They are doing everything they can to make sure he has everything he needs.

When Carly finds out that her ex-boyfriend is released from jail early from a stranger, she's hurt. Cole Alexander dumped her while he was in jail and it destroyed her. Now that Cole is out he wants Carly back. Jane begs Carly to move on from the past, so Carly does so for their family's sake. When Ross, Cole's big brother, comes to the house warning Carly to stay away from his brother, the girls ignore him. Then a brick gets thrown through their father's window and witnesses see it was Ross and his girlfriend.

Alec has Jane call his estranged brother, Eddie, for help. Eddie agrees to come down immediately, bringing his two sons, Dean and Harry. The brothers stopped talking because Alec couldn't keep supporting his brother alongside his own family. Now Eddie is happy to return the favor. He immediately pays the back rent and gives Jane the money he borrowed plus interest, so they have something in the bank. He buys the girls food and clothing, wanting to take care of them.

When the attacks escalate, the real story finally comes out into the open. Cole was just using Carly to get her Uncle and cousins to move to town, his beef was with them. Carly then realizes that the man Cole was before he went to prison is dead.

Now the girls need to make big decisions about their future. Stay on the straight and narrow or fight for what's theirs? Eddie wants the girls to join his new business venture. Jane, who ran a girl gang, decides it's time for her to take over the current leadership, because the current leader is Ross' girlfriend. And the gang is running his errands.

As a turf war breaks out, the Savage family all fight together for their family's future. Once a Savage, always a Savage.

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 backup 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.

This is the first book in a brand-new series. The Savage sisters look after their father Alex as he's ill and can't look after himself. Carly, Jane and Rose will do anything for their father. Carly used to have a boyfriend, Cole, but he went to prison and dumped her. Cole's brother Ross hates Carly. Trouble is simmering and Alex tells the girls to get in touch with their Uncle Eddie. With all the family sticking together, this is a family not to be messed with. This is a gripping, well written, fast paced page turner. The characters are strong and well developed. I liked the Savage sisters, and each had their part to play. This is quite a violent read, so it won't be for everyone. I'm looking forward to reading book two.

I would like to thank #Netgalley #BoldwoodBooks and the author #HeatherAtkinson for my ARC of #SavageSisters in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent read. I didn't realize it was part of a series until after I read it. Definitely wanting to check out the other books.

Glaswegian gangland thriller, good story, fast paced, and likeable but brutal characters.
Not particularly endeared by the first cousin love story, bit of an incestuous vibe for me.
Felt this book set up well for a series for the Savage family leading on from the events at the end of this book. Loads of potential storyline’s for family.
My first Heather Atkinson book but will defiantly read some more.

I like books by this author, set in gangland Glasgow. This one features the Savage sisters who are looking after their sick father. It's a thriller of a read with interesting characters, violence and family loyalty. Way over the top at times but still a very good read in the gangster genre and I do hope there is a follow up. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

O my goodness me, heather atkinson does it again, in a new book. Brilliant...... Carly, jane and rose savage live with their dad who has parkinsons. Jane works at a call centre, carly works in the local pub, and does most of their fathers care and rose is still at school.. Carly has split up from her boyfriend cole when he was sent to prison. During one of her visits, he humiliated her in front of all of the prisons visitors. Why did he do that? Why is he in prison,
Alec savage is estranged from his brother eddie, but tells the girls they need to ask him for his help. Carlies ex cole and his family become cruel towards her and her family when she tells him she doesnt want to get back with him
The sisters are a force to be reckoned with, strong, feisty women, will they sort the rivals out or will there be even more bloodshed.? Fast paced, loved the storyline and characters, i could not put this down, i was hooked, definately a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me.

This book was totally riveting, couldn’t put it down . The story is about the savage family against other families of which the daughter has been in a relationship with the rival son
She is not over him then the cousins and uncles come to help out as their fearless father now is poorly , this results in a love interest between the two
I cannot wait for the next book as this is going to be explosive as this was
Well done in this series it’s amazing
