Twice a Wish was just as spellbinding as Once a Myth!

As the plot gets a little more darker the steam factor hots up to an whole new level between Eleanor and Sully, it's now hanging on the edge of an inferno. The intensity between them is so mystifying but make no mistake, you will not be able to take your eyes off the pages of this book.

This whole series has such a great plot with twists and turns that you would never imagine, all while living in such an exotic paradise your really trapped in your own personal hell, while your falling in love with your captor. He only cares about animals but not humans that is until Eleanor starts to break through his barriers. Both feel torment at feeling something for each other while they both know that they shouldn't.

This is some of Pepper Winters best writing ever, the story is captivating as it is emotional. I am loving where the storyline is going and really cant wait for the next book to see what happens to them next.

Twice A Wish, a suspenseful, edgy read that grips you and doesn't let go until you have turned the last page. A completely unputdownable second installment, that picks up right where Once A Myth left off.

From the very beginning this series grips hold of you and once it does it will not let you go. The storyline is so dark, so twisted, and deliciously devious. Just brilliant!!

A nail-biting dark romance that got me hooked right from the start, and screaming for more in that heart-stopping cliffhanger. I was completely satisfied and emerged in this phenomenal world in which the author has put together an amazing dynamic plot structure, characters, suspense, emotion, and the love/hate relationship that makes of this story such a mind-blowing experience.

I won't give spoilers, but all I can tell you is that I loved every word, and I'm already anxious for the next one. If you haven't, you need to start this fabulous series today!!

Pepper Winters, this book...this series...you've take the year by storm and I'm not sure I can wait for more!

I've been waiting for a story line like this for a very long time, one that makes me want to stay up and read all night long. THIS is what a great series is all about!! I will be honest and say that I started this series blindly. Nothing wrong with surprises, right? Well, hold onto your seats because there is nothing that can prepare you for Twice A Wish.

Eleanor and Sully are two characters that will sit in the back of your mind long after you've devoured the pages. Once a Myth, book one, blew me away, but book two has me fanning myself. I'm typically a slow reader, but I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I needed to know, and now I need to know more!! There's so much I want to say, but saying too much takes away from the feelings and emotions that Pepper worked so hard to instill in the reader. Just know that this is a unique kind of story and I can't compare it to anything else I've ever read before.

I'm torn that I can't give more than five stars. So dang good and very addicting!

This is Book 2 in the Goddess Isles and it picks up right where Once a Myth ends. After the ending in Once a Myth, this installment couldn’t land in my kindle fast enough.
Sully and Eleanor’s story continues to develop and evolve.
Revelations are made and new secrets emerge.
Brutally raw, and full of dark deliciousness this author is famous for, I was immediately sucked in and I savored every word.
The ending... bring on book 3 please!!

After finishing Once A Myth, I could not wait to get my hands on this book.

Twice A Wish gives us more of a glimpse into Sully and his past, and why he does what he does now. After the first book I felt Sully was a monster of sorts, now after seeing a little bit of his history I understand a little more why he’s like he is, and why he has this island and does what he does. His actions still confuse me massively when it comes to Jinx, I think I have his plans pegged and he throws me through a loop again!

Although I’m still massively confused by certain things, I know Pepper will reveal all eventually, but the more I try and work things out, the more conspiracy theories I come up with.

The book ends leaving us speechless, shocked, confused and needing to know what happens next! I need more already! Five stars from me!

Holy hell!!! What did I just read?! Once again, I’m speechless!!! This series may be the one to kill me! And it’s only book 2! This book is one you will fall into, and you won’t want to come back out!! There is so much happening in it and it’s complex and intense!

Still not sure I like Sully.... but I LOVE Eleanor (Jinx). She is headstrong and brave, she won’t back down or beg. I have rooted for her all the way! Sully... without spoiling... I think I’m gonna love the beginning of book three.

There are so many different facets to this story... it’s dark, yes.. it’s very dark, but it’s so very good. It will grab you by the throat and drag you into their world and holds you there until that ending..that ending,.. it may make you gasp, or snicker.. but it will leave you breathless for book 3!

Pepper Winters has been, since I read my first of her books, my very favorite author. I have and will continue to read everything of hers that I can get my hands on. I love the detail in her writing, I love her characters. I just can’t even fathom how her mind works to create such detailed, full, rich characters and locations. She has the ability to make you want into the story, almost like you’re walking through everything beside Eleanor. I did NOT put this book down easily. I had to work... but I didn’t want to this day.

OMG, even better than Once a Myth with so much more exploration and development to this captivingly dark story... with characters that consume you. Even more intensity and twists and THAT ending. I'm left speechless torn between wanting Book#3 and not wanting this tale to end. Bravo again, Pepper, eagerly awaiting more.

Twice a wish is book 2 in the Goddess Isles series by Pepper Winters and man oh man!! i seriously think that this series is getting better and better! once again the Queen of darkness has DELIVERED!!!
i can't even begin to say how much i loved this book!

this is only book 2 in the series and i legit don't even know how to act! this was truly well written! my emotions were all over the place because how could it not be when reading a pepper book. the emotions were intense and spell binding and i couldn't get enough.

Sullivan is downright one sinful and smexy bad boy who i can't seem to get enough of! this story is raw and hot, addicting and dark and once you start reading you will get completely sucked into this world! this book raised the stakes and had more heartbreak, more angst and more ways to fall in love with these characters!

i cannot get enough of this series and i can't wait to read the next book! if you guys haven't started this series yet then you should! its definitely another 5 deliciously dark stars! and i highly recommend this!

Ugggg how Pepper can make you start to fall in love with the monsters in her books is amazing. Don't get me wrong Sullivan is bad but dang he is so good too!! There was a part in this book that I couldn't bring myself to read but I know what happen and poor Sully. His heart had been so big and smart but then people who should never break your heart did. Eleanor and Sully have such a chemistry between them and to stop some madness from happening she does one thing that might put her in danger for real. I love the parrots in this series so much and loved that Skittles is coming out more. They are great additions :) This book ends in a cliffhanger and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!! [author:Pepper Winters|7151973] Thank you for letting me into your new series and thank you Kiki Chatfield from Next step pr for the ARC read!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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.
