Sullied Saints: Tregam's Fractured Souls Book 2
WARNING, this blurb contains spoilers for book one of the Tregam’s Fractured Souls Trilogy, Pure Killers. Please read it first! Sullied Saints is the second installment in this dark romantic thriller trilogy, continuing the story of bloodlust, revenge, and justice at any cost.
Following the arrest of Needler, Tregam teeters on the brink of collapse. The city is demanding the release of the killer they believe is their best hope of finding Cocooner.
Eleanor’s secrets are exposed after the fateful night which began with her fighting for her partner Dirk’s life, and ended with Needler arrested. Her affair with Needler—the very killer she’d been hunting—is now public knowledge, and the weight of the city’s anger has fallen squarely on her shoulders.
But with Cocooner amassing a twisted army of copycats, Eleanor is pulled back into the fray, tasked with interrogating Needler—the one man who might hold the key to stopping his sister’s reign of terror.
Dirk survived Cocooner’s clutches, but at a cost. Haunted by his near-death experience and his inability to protect Eleanor or himself, he’s nearing his breaking point. But Cocooner isn’t done with him..
She’s not done with any of them.
Eleanor must navigate a city on the edge of chaos, a killer who knows her all too well, a partner who shares her trauma, and the sick games of a madwoman who doesn’t like to lose.
The only way out is through the darkest part of Tregam, and the shadows of the city have never been so deep.

Eva Heart has done it again! This book was amazing and my first 10/10 read this year.
After the events of the first book (Pure Killers), I was so excited to see how the story panned out between El, Needler, and Dirk, and boy was I not disappointed! The writing is absolutely excellent, and I love that we see the characters almost vulnerable, following the ending of the first book, and it’s not just skated over.
The plot for the book? Unrivaled. It is excellent! There were so many parts that had me in my feels, between happiness, shock, and outrage. And the ending? I feel like the ending healed my heart a little ❤️

Book 2 throws us right back in to Tregam, following on from the madness of Pure Killers, and had me hooked right from the start.
I thought I'd loved Eleanor and Needler together, but it turns out I love her and Dirk even more. They bring out the best of each other in the broken world they are stuck in.
The writing and story were brilliant, and while I loved the HEA for El and Dirk, I can't wait for the final book of the series to find out how Needler's story ends.

So many questions were finally able to be answered that I had from the first book. This book continues where the first one left off. You're able to see the trauma and grief that Eleanor and Dirk go through from the terrible position they were in. The book is perfect in the sence that everything is very raw, the trauma, the unknown, and the anger that came from the Cocooner being out. I just wanted to go into their universe and give all of them a hug ☹️
Boy oh boy do we get a handful of spicy scenes in basically every chapter tho 😋 I'm talking confused sex, angry sex, and just pure utter filth of sex 🥵 Besides that, you're also able to learn about the Needlers past a bit was heartbreaking, the shitty life they were given... No child deserves that. When I tell you that all of these characters are traumatized I mean it 😭😭 I can't wait to read the last book of the series 🥺 I'll be so sad to see it go because it's just THAT good
Thank you Eva Heart for allowing me to recieve an early copy, despite reviewing late!

ARC Review
I absolutely loved how Sullied Saint seamlessly continues from Pure Killers! The flow is perfect; I didn't even need to revisit the first book to remember how it ended. It's been a while since I read Pure Killers, but this installment pulled me right back into the story.
While I'm still not a huge fan of Dirk's personality, I adore the dynamic between him and Eleanor. I have to admit, though, that I still prefer Tristan! Sorry to all the Dirk fans out there! 😂
Just like the first book, this one is another fantastic addition to the series. The writing is captivating, and I can't wait to see what the third book in this trilogy has in store for us. This felt like it could have been a conclusion, but I know there's more to if theirs a final installment! I'm hoping it's Tristan!!!
If you love dark romantic thrillers filled with bloodlust, revenge, and complex relationships, you won't want to miss this series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️.5/5
Sullied Saints was a mysterious, heart pounding, and faced paced read! I did not want to put either of these books down! This picked up right back where we left off in Pure Killers which I loved. The way that Eleanor and Dirk continued the hunt to find the cocooner and everything really unraveled was amazing! Not to mention the sparks were flying between these two! But I can’t forget about my favorite serial killer of all serial killers now can I! The part that the Needler played in this book was so well written. It added a nice insight to everything that was unfolding. I can’t lie I was really rooting for the Needler and Eleanor. But I won’t say that Dirk and Eleanor aren’t just as cute and I’m happy they got their HEA! I can’t wait to find out what happens in book 3 with the Needler I hope he gets his HEA! I would definitely recommend these!

It just gets better? Eva did such an amazing job on the second book of her Tregam’s Fractured Souls trilogy. I am foaming at the mouth for the final book already. All of the what ifs and loose ends we had in Pure Killers is wrapped in a beautiful bow and gifted to us in Sullied Saints. It was dark, sexy, and heartbreaking in the best, albeit twisted, way. It’s like if Criminal Minds met your darkest fantasy and it’s amazing. I highly recommend diving into this book if you enjoy dark romance with mystery and thrills!

Sullied Saints is the second book in the Tregam's Fractured Soul Trilogy with this book picking up exactly where Pure Killers (book one) left off. I binged read both books and was completely pulled into the mystery, suspense, twists and turns all while sitting on the edge of my seat unable to put them down. I do not want to give anything away or spoil this for future readers, but I will say the characters are great and the spice is definitely spicing, and the plot is unbelievable making this a must read. There is still one more book to come and I am anxiously waiting to get my hands on it.

ARC reader: 3.5-4/5 stars
This book left me a little disappointed. Yes, Dirk and Eleanor get their HEA, but I still think their story was rushed.
We get a few answers that were left at the end of the first book, but overall, the storyline fell flat to me. There were less tense, thought-provoking moments that I liked from the first book.
There is to be a third book in the series, but I am not sure where it will go. I think most of the plot had been wrapped up.

Wow!!! This book was incredible!! After finishing book 1 of this series, I had been looking forward to this book release, and it was worth the wait. We picked up right where we left off, and the author took us on another rollercoaster of a ride. I fell in love with these characters in the first book, and this book only made me love them more. If you’re looking for a book/series with action, suspense, twists and spice, I can’t recommend this one enough!!!

“He's wrong. It is him I want. Maybe it always has been.”
Sullied Saints was a beautiful continuation of Pure Killers. It was a wonderful mix of lust, plot twist, character development, and family. I was already addicted to the main characters in book one and my love for them grew even more throughout book two! I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a good serial killer mystery with a good spice plot mixed in.

I love how Dirk & Elenor are finally together trying to figure out & navigate their relationship in the middle of a serial murderer predicament. They are just so magnetic together and the spicy scenes between them 🥵🥵 The whole situation with the Cocooner & Needler added suspense to the plot that was so good. I loved everything about this book. Amazing work. And definitely an amazing read. Love! 💕🩷

UGGGGHHH! I don't even know where to start on how this book made me feel. I did lose sleep binge reading it though..
Favorite qoutes:
"I'm the chosen villain of this story now."
"Hey, I don't mind sharing. Something tells me he might though." Cocky and sassy Tristan for the heart keeps the Dr. away yknow?
"So, Little Shadow, you can deliver, or not." Love me some Tristan when he says little shadow.

I don’t think I can effectively articulate how INCREDIBLE Sullied Saints was to read. As it was the second book in the trilogy it continued from where book one, Pure Killers, left off. Pure Killers was my first read of the year, and a five star read, but Sullied Saints… Eva Heart out did herself with this one! Written in single POV, the emotions of our FMC were not just written words on a page, they came alive in me as I read. I felt everything she felt, I experienced everything she experienced, and there were a lot of emotions and experiences to have lived vicariously. The plot was so cleverly constructed, the world created claiming a permanent home in my heart, right alongside the MCs. What. A. Book. What. A. Read. PHENOMENAL.

My flabbers are gusset!!! Eva Heart has done it once again! I was on the edge of my seat, my mouth felt permanently open, and I was NOT expecting that! I enjoyed every sec and every word of this read. You will no doubt enjoy it just as much as I did. You do need to read these in order, so I suggest starting with book one. Now Eva, being on book 3! I have to know what happens next!!!

This was a great ending to this book. I enjoyed all the emotions that were portrayed through the book and how everyone was dealing with them. I enjoyed seeing our main girl find her happy ever after and enjoyed how the bad guys were taken down once and for all. The whole plot really flowed well and brought everything around and finished up nicely

I absolutely LOVE Eva’s writing style, it is sooooo good. It’s so easy to read, follow, and just captures your attention & never lets it go!
Sullied Saints was excellent! I was a bit worried as book 1- Pure Killers was phenomenal! But now I can’t rave enough about BOTH of these books!!
If you like your romance mixed up with some mystery & thrills, read this trilogy!
I cannot wait for the final book in this series… I neeeeeed it, like right now!!

**Minor Spoilers
The second of the Tregam Trilogy left us with more answers than Pure Killers, but more questions left unresolved. Another fast paced, twist-filled take, we pick up immediately where book 1 left off.
Our FMC finds herself in a strange situation where she is forced to work with her stalker/husband’s murder/ex roommates brother/lover/serial unaliver/ex cop turned lab-tech to track down the Cocooner and save Tregam!
In the midst of her wild ride at work, she gives a wild ride to something else if you catch my drift. Another great read, definitely need book 3 asap!!

So thankful I was able to ARC read another book for Eva!
I loved how this book picks up right where we left off from Pure Killers. The eery and dreadful atmosphere Eva has created stays consistent as they continue their hunt for The Cacooner. I do feel that the story was a bit rushed with our FMC, but I do see why she tried to wrap up her plot line within this book. I am guessing the third installment will be based around another character, and I am interested to see how it will flow from what has taken place in this book.
Eva really has a way with how she writes detective/crime stories, and I am excited to continue delving into her stories!

Sullied Saints is an incredible second instalment in the series after Pure Killers. We are continuing to the story after the needler has been caught and there is a race to find the cocooner before she strikes again! She’s quite the little ghost making it very difficult for the team to find her. Her clever tricks have the team on a wild goose chase trying to find her and put a stop to her cruel killings, while the riots and protests keep the city distracted.
The beautiful story of Dirk and El unfolds and it’s so lovely to witness their romance blossom. Whilst Dirk seems like a tough cookie, he really has a gooey centre. I cannot wait to see what comes next in this series! I just know there are some secrets waiting to come out, and I am here for it! Eva did it again with an incredible story full of mystery and intrigue mixed with some delicious spice! Bring on book 3 🫣🤗

This was really good. Sullied Saints picks up where Pure Killers left off so it was easy to remember what had happened in the previous book. I enjoyed the storyline, the book is a great mixture of mystery, romance and spice. I'm definitely looking forward to the last book in the series and I absolutely would recommend both books that have come out so far.

For all the book girlies who want their vengeance with a side of getting railed.
Eva Heart and her dark, twisted mind have done it again. Her writing style has not faltered since Pure Killers. The same ability to keep readers engaged and on their edge of their seats, while creating the perfect imagery and the ability to create relatable yet suspicious characters.
Sullied Saints is book 2 in the Tregram's Fractured Souls Trilogy, and if you haven’t read book 1, Pure Killers, I suggest you do so.
Just like Pure Killers, Sullied Saints had me on edge within the first chapter. I would have devoured this book within 24 hours if it wasn’t for a wedding & Easter in the middle of everything.
Eleanor’s secrets are exposed which began with her fighting for her partners life and ending with a prominent character from book one arrested. Dirk is reliving the trauma of his experiences in book one, making him more determined for revenge and justice at any cost.
While I was hopeless at guessing the perpetrator in Pure Killers, and while there isn’t much of a “whodunnit” in book two, I have a pretty solid idea of who the final instalment is about, especially after the bread crumbs throughout the epilogue. Don’t take my word for it, you’ll have to read for yourself and see who you think the next character is that’s going to blow everything out of the water.
Oh! And how could I forget the spice?? Full of desire, need, passion and dominance - it’s guaranteed to have you frothing, amongst other things 😉
Tropes:
🖤 Workplace Romance
🖤 Serial Killer working with Detectives
🖤 Vigilantism
🖤 Trauma Healing/Bonding
🖤 Spice
🖤 Banter
🖤 Forced Proximity
🖤 Interconnected Trilogy
