BLURB
“There was a monster once. A monster who bought me, controlled me, and took away my freedom. There was a man once. A man who dealt in myth and secrets, hiding behind his mask, making me hunger and wish to know the truth.” Eleanor Grace belongs to the man and the monster, hating them both but unable to deny that something links them. Something she doesn’t want to feel, something that traps her as surely as the sea surrounding the island where she serves. Sully Sinclair belongs to his past and the black and white script his life has become. He views his goddesses as commodities—possessions to be treated kindly but firmly. The only problem is…Eleanor is different. She’s jinxed him. Cursed him. Awakened him. She’s a goddess with the power to ruin him.
REVIEW
Twice a Wish is the continuation of the Goddess Isles series and it picks up right where part one left off- with Eleanor getting ready to participate in Euphoria for the first time.
You would think you know what to expect for her first time, but let me tell you- you really don’t know. The experience was much more raw and primal and intense than anything I’ve ever read before.
Euphoria aside, Eleanor and Sully’s relationship continued to heat up, finally reaching its boiling point at the end. And if you thought things were tense between them in book one, you’re really not ready for this book.
Eleanor was definitely a lot more defiant in this book. She continued to show strength even when things became unbearable. She also continued to stand up to Sully whenever he was being an asshole- which, of course made her even more attractive in his eyes.
We also got to read more about Sully‘s past, and the events in his life that made him the way he is. These parts of the book allowed for a better understanding of Sully. He‘s definitely still a jerk, with questionable morals, but at least we have an explanation as to why.
What made me really enjoy this book was the overall pacing. It felt like every new chapter was a build up from the last and you were compelled to keep reading because you wanted to know how things would end.
Then you realised it’s ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER and you still have 3 books to go before things really end.
Frustration aside, I loved this book. Bring on Part 3!
happy reading!
