Savage Children (John Savage Action Thriller Book 3)

Even though the third in the John Savage series, this can easily be read as a standalone.It was great to be back with Savage and Tannaz. Things seem to be a bit more settled in John’s life for once, but where would the fun in that be? It doesn’t last long as his neighbour’s son goes missing and John being a good guy, does his best to try and find the boy.John Savage is very much the anti hero. He has his own demons to overcome but is one of the nice guys. It reminds me a bit of the A-Team apart from there is only him and Tannaz trying to take down the bad guys. They sure do make a great partnership.The story line of the children going missing is dark and emotional but I liked how the author focuses more on the hunt for who’s behind the disappearances rather than the children themselves. There is sometimes that fine line when it comes to genres like these when the crimes include children. The author just gives enough so whilst still hard emotional wise, it was more between the lines rather than in your face.Now my only gripe is, in my head I have this image of John Savage being this ruggedly handsome chap. So nearly guffawed out loud when I read of him being dressed in elasticated trousers and crocs! Please give the poor guy a break! Yes it humanises him more and even makes him more lovable but, I want that sexy looking guy back in my head please.Savage Children is another full on, action packed read. It is highly addictive and it has left me desperate yet again for more. There is some humour in parts with the banter between John and Tannaz which helps lift this otherwise dark read. So love these two, they are brilliant characters. With some very shocking outcomes, it guaranteed it being another winning read by this author.

Peter Boland is a new found author for me and I am gripped by the Savage series. Highly recommended

Savage and his side-kick, the computer-whiz Tannaz, are on the search for someone kidnapping children. None have been returned and there are real fears for their lives. They become involved because the lad who lives next door to Savage is abducted. Police arrest him under suspicion as he often played football with the lad after school. This is a great story – Savage’s SAS training means he doesn’t back down even with a gang, and Tannaz is an expert hacker. She finds evidence but they can’t pass it to the police as she shouldn’t have it! It’s a rollicking good crime story and very exciting. I love this series.

This was the third book I have read in this series. One after each other. Savage and Tannaz make a great partnership and are really good for each other. The story made the book very hard to put down. My next book will be Savage Gods, the fourth in the series. I am really looking forward to it. A big thank you to the author and from me a well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Written with a tongue in cheek humour I loved this book. The hero is not new, and his sidekick is a Lisa Salander but it just managed to escape being a cheesy copy. A couple of twists and turns and the setting is pretty gruesome. I will look for more books by this author.

Intrigued by how person can be kidnapped with out being spotted on cttv. Proved to be worthwhile, plot was really good twist in tale you never see coming. Good buy for Xmas.

Enjoyed this book as I have done the others..but for me would like to read about Savage when he was part of the SAS....I know it’s been down before but Savage is a great character and I’m sure he would be followed.Here’s hoping......and my rating would be 3.9....maybe 4

Wow what a corker, a brilliant 3rd book in the John Savage series. It doesn’t let up for even a second. This series just keeps getting better with each instalment. Peter Boland has one heck of an imagination. I loved it.
