This is a gangland thriller which honestly isn't normally what I read. It is a good read and I enjoyed it. If gangland thrillers are your thing then you will adore this book.
A Savage Inheritance by Heather Atkinson
Series: Savage Sisters #4
Genres: Fiction

When the patriarch of the Savage family dies suddenly, his three daughters, Carly, Jane and Rose are heartbroken.

But you can’t keep a Savage sister down for long, and Jane and her gang The Unbeatable Bitches, along with their uncle Eddie, and cousins Dean and Harry are determined to fight to keep the Savage family on top.

But Carly isn’t so sure. Perhaps her father’s death is the opportunity she’s been waiting for – to finally get away from the life of crime and violence in Glasgow’s Haghill. Exhausted by the constant jockeying for power, she pictures a quiet place where no one knows who she is. She even dares to imagine making that life with the love she can’t forget – newly-crowned crime boss Jack Alexander.

But once a Savage, always a Savage, and when she and her family are threatened, Carly knows there’s only one thing for it. And it certainly isn’t a quiet life…

Heather Atkinson’s bestselling Savage family’s enemies are circling so stand by for a page-turning action-packed read. Perfect for all fans of Kimberley Chambers and Jessie Keane.

Review

Readers are dropped headfirst into a dark, thrilling exploration of gangland life, where power, loyalty, and love collide with devastating consequences in this book. The second book in the series, it stands on its own with plenty of plot twists and complex characters. It is the first book of the series that I have read and had no problem following along.

Jack, a hardened gang leader, is driven by his ambition to maintain control while wrestling with his deep love for Carly. His ruthless nature is contrasted by his internal vulnerabilities, making him a fascinating character. Carly, on the other hand, has left the gangland world behind, trying to find her place in a life free from crime, but her loyalty to family keeps pulling her back into dangerous territory. Dean Savage adds a layer of complexity with his unsettling infatuation with Carly, struggling between his loyalties to the gang and a desire for something more meaningful.

The book focuses on the trio’s struggles as they try to balance their dangerous gangland lifestyle with personal relationships and desires. Suspenseful and gritty, I found that I enjoyed even though gangland isn’t my normal theme.
