OMFG
If i thought the first one was good then it has nothing on book two!
Cheese and rice that ending!
The books are so addictive, once you pick it up you might aswell cancel anything you had planned for the day because you'll do nothing but read or think about these characters.
Again I'm not going to go into detail about what happens in the book because it really should be enjoyed first hand and not through a review so this is gonna stay short and sweet.
Need the next one now!

This series is so highly anticipated by myself and many others, and Pepper Winters does not disappoint. Twice a Wish draws the reader into a world that we could only imagine, and Pepper's words make it come to life for us.
Eleanor is challenging and fighting everything this island offers. This is Utopia, an exquisite place for the goddesses to live out their 4 year term, they want for nothing, and life on the island is glamorous and coveted.
Sully is also fighting on his island but for very different reasons. Eleanor offers him something that most men would love to grab and possess, but Sully, he is fighting it for reasons he believes are just and true.
This duo find themselves battling and struggling in Twice a Wish. The are denying their attraction, lust and desire for one another. But will either one survive this internal war?
Pepper, this series is exceptional and makes me want to read the story as fast as I can, while not wanting it to end at the same time. Those are my own struggles reading this series.

Pepper continues Sully and Jinx’s story in ways you never expect
The continuing story of Jinx and Sully will blow any preconceived notions on how you think this story will go as you will never expect what happens in Twice a Wish! Pepper is the queen of the unexpected and Sully and Jinx prove what a great storyteller she is!  All I can say is I am left waiting for Third a Kiss and it can’t arrive soon enough. Bravo Pepper for making your readers hating to turn the last page!

First off, I haven't been able to read a really good book from another writer which I haven't read before.
Pepper's plot behind this series is somewhat a brilliant idea.

The main female character Eleanor was full of apprehension that turned into a unsurprising relationship with the main male character Sully (Sullivan) and I had hoped that their relationship between each other was going to be filled with love. I think maybe...... I was wrong. Who knows??

I guess that the rest of the series will fulfill my curiosity about the plot, the characters and hopefully, I'll enjoy the rest.

Thanks to KiKi from The Next Step PR for her undivided hard work by giving me this opportunity to read a good book!! I found myself that I really enjoyed it immensely and am grateful to NetGalley for supplying this.

This series is going to kill me, dead! It's a tantalizing, sizzling and intoxicating tale about a Goddess and her spirit, resilience, and power, unlike any other Goddess on the Island. Jinx always seems to find within herself exactly what she needs, and she is a force to be reckoned with, she truly is a Goddess not just to herself but to others as well. "Euphoria" is a special place, a fantasy brought to life by a monster, and this monster controls everything but what happens when this monster loses his control over himself and let's go? Who will survive the storm? What will happen to all the creatures big and small? Come on Third a Kiss this series is a must-read! Pepper Winters has outdone herself again! So excited for you to read this series!

Oh my goodness!  Twice a Wish picks up where Once a Myth left off, and it takes off running!  This one is much more fast paced than the previous one!  It's fast paced, sexy, angsty.... there's a slow burn going on between Sully and Jinx. And I just have to say, I love Skittles!  Lol!  And the ending of this one, OMG!  I cannot wait for Third a Kiss!

Ok I liked this one as the pace/story progression was better than the first book Once a Myth. And that ending sure makes me want the third book asap.  I can't wait to see what happens next!

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Wow! What. A. Read! 

The cliffhanger from Once a Wish had left me wanting more from Eleanor and Sullivan, and damn! I was given more than I could handle. 

Twice a Myth, we see more of Eleanor fighting back for her freedom, and we see Sullivan so desperately trying not to unleash his darker side. I loved seeing Sullivan more vulnerable and see more into why he does what he does. 

I loved the chemistry between the two. It was fire, it was chaos. It was passion. It was explosive! I didn't need heat to keep me warm. I had those two to do that for me. 

Let me remind you this is a dark romance novel by one of the queens in the genre herself, so there is a creepy and a dark shadowy element to it especially when it comes to Sullivan. 

This book completely swallowed me whole. I didn't eat or sleep until I finished this book. It consumed me. It was dark and hot and creepy and weird and steamy and I am just addicted to it all. 

And the imagery... Oh, the imagery. Totally contradictory. And paradise, even for your head! 

Yet again, what is it with the author those jaw-dropping cliffhangers? Stop with that you! Oh, keep on going. I'm such a sucker for them. 

This series is shaking up to be my favourite of these authors. It's creepy, weird, hot, fierce and a chaotic and very unusual paradise... And I'm loving it. LOV.ING. IT!

In true Winters fashion I am left speechless.
I couldn't read fast enough and at times I found myself going back and rereading because I couldn't believe what I just read. Sullivan and Eleanor are unlike any of Winters other characters.

Holy Moly! The snake has had a taste of his own poison. I simply cannot wait to see how this goes down!

I have no idea how she does it, but Pepper Winters turns words straight into gold. This series is everything. The storyline is so unique. I devoured the first 2 books, and I'm dying, DYING, for more. Sully and Eleonor are my favorite couple. Twice a Wish ends on a cliffhanger, and I'm waiting anxiously to find out where this goes. This book is super sexy. Tons of angst. Great story pacing, and fantastic writing. I'm so happy this story exists. Do yourself a favor and start this series now!

As I go on with this series I feel as if it's going to get harder and harder to review with all of the things that happen. My reviews will get shorter and the less information I can give the better. So please do not mistake my lack of discussion on not enjoying the book!

It was hot. I mean...hot, hot, hot. The entire book itself was hot. And not in a cringey way! The writing was exceptionally well done when it came to Euphoria. I really feared that I wouldn't like that direction that the book was taking but Pepper did me good. She caught my attention and didn't let go of it. 

If you had any doubt in the first book if you would enjoy the way these books were going trust me when I say that Pepper Winters will not let you down. I promise.

I'm still trying to get my bearings in order after reading this second installment of the series.

Sully and Eleanor will forever be engraved in me because the pull and push between them is just so addicting. I can't get enough of this series and the god and his goddesses.

Even though I was completely and utterly speechless with the first book and I can tell you that I'm even in a worse state now with this second book. Pepper Winters always has a way with her wording and the topic and the premise of her stories that will leave you completing wanting more and more each and every time.

We get a glimpse of what Sully really is or was in his past in this book and it explains in more detail why he is the way he is. Eleanor somehow has a connection with him that is beyond physical attraction. They share similar likes and dislikes and that scares Sully because he figures that will be his demise and there will be no way out for him when it comes to Eleanor a/k/a Jinx. 

The ending tho....really with each book I'm going to die another death with the way these books end!

Pepper Winters has started a new series with so much angst that will leave you completely shattered!

⭐️ 5+ "Serigala" Stars ⭐️
The Goddess Isles Series started so strong with Once A Myth where I was easily immersed into this world of seductive fantasies. Twice A Wish conquered my heart even more and left me utterly speechless! I’m blown away by all the emotion this book delivered. I wanted to know more about Sully, this enigmatic man, and I was served with a heartbreaking story that showed that he’s so much more than meets the eye. With her poetic writing style that is just sublime, Pepper Winters assaulted with all the feels!

This phenomenal read made me cherish its complex protagonists so much more than I already did. Eleanor continues to show her awe-inspiring resilience, but still has conflicting thoughts about Sully. She doesn’t stop fighting her cruel fate even if her heart and body start to battle with her mind more and more! With her fearless attitude and tenacity, she becomes a true goddess! As much as she’s strong and brilliant, she has her moments of vulnerability. They only prove her genuineness and make me admire her.

While I’m fan-girling over Eleanor’s qualities, Sullivan as well is an impressive hero. I loved this intricate man and to finally discover a little about his childhood was bittersweet, but gave me answers about his severe behavior. He’s sweet and caring at times, which contrast a lot with his strong persona he shows everyone. Eleanor is the only one who seems to read him like a book and sees between his cracks which forge an even more potent connection between them.

The chemistry between this couple, which was already off the charts hot, increases again! Every single moments they share is charged with so much lust and ache. They want to resist this temptation, but the pull is just irresistible. The back and forth between Sully and Eleanor left me totally drained, but satisfied and hopeful.

I don’t know what to add about this story that I devoured? Every single facet of Twice A Wish was perfect! Pepper Winters created magic and I can’t get enough of this wanton, tropical universe! With that wicked and titillating ending, the wait for book three will be excruciating! I’m clearly happy that Third A Kiss releases next month, but I’ll be frantic for more! This read is without a doubt a top favorite for me this year!

Dreams really do come true! I was extremely fortunate enough to receive an ARC of the second book in what is turning into an amazing series. Pepper once again proves that she is a very unique talented author. We learn a little more about Sully in this book and his seaming hatred for his own kind. And Eleanor, that girl is the epitome of grace strength and forgiveness. What I loved so much about this book and series for that matter, is that at the heart of this story it is so much more than just dark romance. She was able to tap into a deeper connection a deeper love and respect for life,all life and once again Pepper helped me to see and look at things in a way that I never have before. However, she COMPLETELY left me hanging with that ending!! I need Third a Kiss now!

I'm still speechless from the heartpounding cliffhanger Winters leaves readers with. The push and pull between Eleanor and Jinx continues through this story. Eleanot fights remaining herself or accepting the next four years being Jinx. My heart was literally pulled from my chest learning more about Sully's heartbreaking past and the struggles he lives with daily. This story was an amazing ride through so many emotions, learning so many layers of the characters. You are guaranteed to not be able to put this book down as you walk along with Eleanor and Sully. Euphoria is not all it appears to be...

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chics Ramblings and Reviews

Another thrilling instalment of this epic series.

I’m a huge fan of this author and her stories are always so creative and addictive. I was hooked on this series when I read book one Once a Myth and couldn’t wait to read this one.

The story begins where the first book ended and we’re thrust into the confusing relationship between Sully and Jinx as it evolves to another level. As Sully’s past comes back to haunt him, he’s left with a difficult choice and has to leave his island but can he really trust the people left behind to take care of his assets?
As the story progresses we delve deeper into Sully’s past and begin to see the truth behind the monster he appears to be on the surface, why does the man who cares so little about humans do everything he can for animals?

As with all the previous series this author has written, it’s difficult to write a review without spoilers but one thing that’s certain is there will be a cliffhanger at the end of each book and you will be left craving the next book as badly as a goddess who’s been given elixir. Reading this book has been a welcome escape from all the craziness going on in the world and I definitely recommend it and the previous book in the series.

I loved this book love Sullivan I couldn't put this book down Pepper you are the best can't wait till April 21st can't get here fast enough

If there was any doubt before, be assured that Pepper Winters is a master storyteller. Twice a Wish is the ultimate in continuations with Sully and Eleanor/Jinx and their inescapable attraction becoming even more intense. Picking up where we left off in Once a Myth, Eleanor/Jinx is cautiously aware that Sully is more than meets the eye and she carefully begins her quest to uncover the layers of his soul.

There is heat and sexual tension like only Winters can deliver, paired with the struggle from Eleanor/Jinx to try and escape Sully's supposed paradise. But the ongoing tether between their hearts that neither can deny nor sever may be either their ultimate downfall or savior depending on just how stubborn they remain.

There is plenty of mystery as Eleanor/Jinx learns more about her captor and decidedly pushes him to the brink, desperation he can't even fathom continually written all over Sully's face. The facade he so carefully has crafted is truly on the precipice as the usual jaw-dropping conclusion makes itself known.

In addition, I will say that Winters's love of animals is an extraordinary part of this story as Sully's distaste for humans is only magnified by his adoration of his furry and not so furry friends. With an interesting twist pertaining to Eleanor/Jinx and the scene-stealers in Pika and Skittles.

Twice a Wish is a book that deserves to be relished, each decadent word a gift to readers. Only Pepper Winters can combine cruelty with pleasure in the most exceptional of ways and with that in mind, I happily give this latest creation a huge 5++ stars!
