A Savage Feud is the sequel to Savage Sisters, a gritty gangland thriller set in Glasgow.
Carly and her cousin Dean are fighting to keep their attraction under control and focus on their work. They are suspicious after a number of clients act oddly when they go to collect debts owing to the infamous Tallons and then have a run in with their enemies which includes Carly’s ex Cole Alexander and his brothers.
I enjoyed the drama of events and grandstanding of the characters. The author uses dialogue to demonstrate the Scottish accent effectively so I was immediately transported into the scenes. Trust and loyalty are important themes in the book as the gangs jostle for power and control.
Once again, there is violence and swearing, in keeping with the genre of the book. And also once again, the sisters show their softer side during their devotion to each other and their caring for their sick father. Carly and Dean are cousins but want to be more than that. They are afraid of creating a family rift so are fighting their feelings.
A Savage Feud is a gritty book with deeper emotional elements and engaging plot and characters.
