Good For Her: A Second Chance Horror Romance

by Tylor Paige

Falling in love with her first love wasn’t part of her plan. Helping her kill the Hollywood elite wasn’t part of his. 

Hollywood loves a comeback. Too bad Evie Reyes didn’t come back to play nice.

Five years ago, she watched her mother—an iconic Final Girl—die on the set of Simon Says. Now, she’s back on the same studio lot, cast as the lead in the reboot no one asked for. But Evie’s not here for fame. She’s here for revenge—and she’s got six names on her list.

Sebastian Shaw is Hollywood’s golden boy, a walking six-pack with just enough charm to disguise the fact that he’s a professional liar. He also happens to be Evie’s ex. When he finds out why she’s really back, he doesn’t try to stop her. He offers a he’ll get her access to each of the men she wants to confront—in exchange for six chances to sleep with her.

No feelings. No strings. Definitely no dates.

As bodies pile up and the on-set accidents get harder to explain away, Evie walks a razor-thin line between staying alive and getting justice. And Sebastian? He might be the only person who sees her clearly—and the one person she can’t afford to trust.

This Final Girl isn’t just surviving—she’s stealing the whole damn show

🚨TRIGGER WARNINGS (in the Content Warnings section)🚨

in this hollywood slasher, we're taken behind the scenes of the filmshoot for simon says six: six six, where a-list asshole sebastian shaw and daughter of murdered hollywood star evie reyes try to solve evie's mother's murder, kill all those involved in arya hit-list style, all the while co-starring in the film and trying not to fall for each other.



i ADORED the slasher element and sebastian & evie's "horror movie code" (e.g. "BEEP BEEP RITCHIE" iykyk). as a HORROR FAN AIR CONDITIONER i was so sat for the plot. HOWEVER sebastian literally COULD NOT STOP talking about his c*ck, he was most possessive jealous simp MMC EVER, we got so little of evie, and the serial killing plot got lost in the chaos of too many things happening at once. the serial killings were also not carefully planned out...leaving lots of room for them to get caught. the biggest no-no for me was the CNC content: i tried to pulled thru but at 50% i had to say 🙅‍♀️

if you're a horror addict like me and these tropes interest you, PLEASE don't let my review stop you from giving it a nice good read. i will just highly highly highly recommend you to read the content warnings ❣️

GUESS WHO JUST GOT APPROVED FOR AN ARC

[Dracarys]

Thank you Victory Editing and NetGalley Co-op for this ARC in exchange for an HONEST review.

Where do I begin...
This book was not for me, I have ended up DNFing it at 50% mark. The "Dubious consent" poker table scene was the final straw for me. I am aware that this a dark horror slasher romance. But PLEASE read / research the trigger warnings.
This book does show the true reality of inside Hollywood.

I will admit, I personally was not a big fan of our MMC Sebastian, his inner monologue about his dick and how hypocritical he was in regards to how Evie spent her time apart from him while also having his own issues regarding the extent of his sexual experiences really annoyed me, it weirdly felt like he really only wanted her for her body in some moments.
And the amount of Red Bulls this guy was having should have given him a heart attack (Ironic isn't it)
Evie was great, apart from the fact that she only had step one of her plan figured out (Avenge her Mother and Kill) but had no concept or idea of how to deal with aftermath really annoyed me cause what you mean you had no idea??
I did think their 'Insta Lust' was a bit much, even though this is a second chance romance, Sebastian comes on a bit too strongly.

Bryce was my favourite character by far... he was such a great guy to read about and I loved every scene with him and Skye in it, I wonder if there will be another book about them cause I would be up to reading about them. I loved all the horror movie quotes and references, as well as the doggies being named after horror icons ,That really made things special and kind of connected the characters together. The writing itself was pretty easy to understand and definitely brought out some emotions in me, even if they were tense.

[Smutty Little Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay!! This one was fun! For me, it’s one of those books you read for a good time and don’t take too seriously and that’s exactly the mood I was in, so I really enjoyed it.

The horror references were top notch, and I loved both main characters and their friends. All the personalities really stood out. The storyline kept me hooked the whole way through, which made it such an easy, entertaining read.

I also had the chance to listen to the audiobook and really enjoyed the performances by Luke Persiani and Ryder Sol. This was my first time listening to either of them, and they made it so easy to follow along while bringing the characters to life perfectly.

Overall, I had a great time with this one and I’m excited to add it to my shelf.

*picks up the stack of scripts on the table and hands them out to each reader*
Okay team, let’s remember what we are doing here - we are currently working on a review for a top anticipated dark romance read and we want to make sure we are providing the audience with what they need. So, let’s start off by setting the stage here….
*flips open to page 1*

Evie Reyes, after finding her mother dead on the set of her last movie, has found herself years later back in Hollywood, ready to feature in the upcoming installment of the horror film, Simon Says, Simon Says Six: Six Six; the very same franchise that her mother was last featured in before she had passed away from an apparent suicide. While many are excited, and a few shocked, to see the daughter of one of the most talented actresses stepping in her mother’s shoes, the role that Evie is playing isn’t necessarily the reason she wants to be included within this latest installment. Actually, Evie is there for one thing and one thing only - to get revenge on the six men that were last seen with her mother and the culprits that she believes killed her mother on that set. With so much at stake, Evie doesn’t let anything get in her mind nor in her way, until she’s seen who her co-star and love interest in the movie is going to be. That co-star is none other than her ex-boyfriend, Sebastian, who is more than willing to make sure Evie is his “Final Girl” and back in his arms just where they left off five years ago. The only problem? Evie isn’t there to play a role and rekindle a romance, she’s here for revenge for her mother - even if she does feel something spark back between her and her first love. In fact, it just so happens she’s found herself in quite a predicament when Sebastian, lovingly and yearning his way with pizza at her front door one night, finds Evie and her first kill together in her room. But Sebastian has other plans that night and if that means assisting Evie in killing the men she is set on revenge with, he will be more than happy to do so. In fact, he’s given Evie a proposal - he’ll help her kill the Hollywood Elite on her revenge list as long as she provides him with six chances to win her back; one chance for each man she’s looking to kill.


Alright, everyone still on board with me here?
We know the basis and got the readers intrigued.
Now we need to get them really interested.
*takes a sip of her iced coffee as she flips to page five*

Let’s focus on some of the main tropes that are going to be involved….

📽 Morally Gray MMC x Morally Gray FMC
📽 Second Chance Dark Romance
📽 Enemies/Distrust To Lovers
📽 Slow Burn & Spicy Scenes
📽 Revenge Thriller/Slasher Horror
📽 Unhinged Found Family

I know there are many more tropes out there than just this within the book but I think these really give that “bite” that we are looking for with those that we’ve grabbed interest with so far. Any questions from the team before we begin?
Alright - great!
You guys know the drill…….ACTION!


Okay, I’m already cringing right now at this review - I tried to make it seem like I was a director and you guys were being handed the scripts for understanding the story preview and the tropes. Did it execute well? *covers eyes while shaking head slowly*

Okay, cringe aside with what my attempt of a quirky review there was trying to do, let me give an actual review of this book from my point of view….

The book starts off by really hooking you in - you have a good plot, a blooming romance, a mystery to unwrap, and even a horror hook that keeps you intrigued. Yet, as you get towards 60% of the way, I felt as though this is when it really lost it’s momentum. The kills started to become sloppier and unrealistic, the movie that the team was working on was starting to morph into something else entirely, and the chemistry/connection that the romance duo once had was starting to become more toxic and forced. I get that a book like this is a homage to traditional slasher flicks and the satire humor will be there in many situations, which I am a huge fan of by the way, but in this case, I felt as though the tone of the book and direction went into a completely different field towards the last 40%, resulting in a lackluster ending that felt almost disappointing. Now, this might just be my preference coming into play on why I felt like it wasn’t as satisfactory towards the last section of the book - so take that with a grain of salt, especially with so many five star ratings that are out there compared to my three star.

I would say that someone I was really interested in throughout the entire storyline was Bryce. He was more so someone on the sidelines and in the background most of the time, however, each time he was mentioned or bought into the story, he really delivered. In fact, I really feel as though we need a completely different book just for Bryce alone. If anyone is reading this right now from the author and/or the publishing team, I ask that you guys consider featuring Bryce as an MMC in a future book as he definitely would be someone with a story to tell!

Overall, I would say that this book did keep me intrigued and I found myself enjoying the pacing of the storyline and interested enough to want to see what happens throughout. You are also unraveling many questions that come about in the story which makes for an even more appealing catch. I also REALLY enjoyed the use of movie lines throughout the book that the FMC and MMC used as a “secret language” with each other. So much so that I even found myself wanting to adapt this in my own life somehow with how fun it was! I just felt as though I really put a lot of expectations on this storyline from the way that it started. I felt as though I would have preferred this to slow down a bit, add some extra weight to the book if you will, so that we had a more well-rounded story and less rush that it seemed was happening around that 60% mark.

Once again, this is definitely a read that I recommend you pick up as I devoured the hell out of this within a day. So was it worth reading? Absolutely. But was it the best book I ever read and need a physical copy of? Not really. But if you are someone who loves horror related romance mixed with mystery, humor, and suspenseful intrigue, you should definitely pick up Good For Her coming out this month on APRIL 28, because it definitely satisfies each of this points within this upcoming read! In fact, if anything interested you at all from this review, you can just stop at any point and say “BEEP BEEP RITCHIE” and move on happily placing this as your next TBR read. ;)

NOTE: I received Good For Her as an ARC from NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op in exchange for an honest review.

[BONNIE SMITH · Rating 4 out of 5]

Five years ago Evie and her boyfriend Sebastian stumbled upon her mother's body. Sold as a suicide, her mother, the famous horror queen Lita Reyes warned her daughter that very night, she feared murder in her own future. Those closest to her know the suicide plot was created by dark men running Hollywood, but no one can prove it.

Now, grown and ready for revenge, Evie returns to Hollywood horror to star in the very series that Lita Reyes was made infamous in: SIMON SAYS.

But Evie's not back to chase stardom, she's here for business, and the only thing that could slow her down is her first love and THE current Hollywood playboy, Sebastian.

For Sebastian, Hollywood has been one person after another taking advantage and sexualizing him. So when he and Evie collide in their revenge era, sparks (and some modesty covers) fly!

Spice, mystery and even plenty of laughs are between the pages of these BEAUTIFUL covers, and I thank NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC. The duel narration is spot on and super sexy!

[Dozelina 666]

I think this might've been a "it's me, not you" situation, but it didn't work for me. I couldn't connect with the characters or the writing style. The blurb seemed super fun and interesting...but ...oh well...

[Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nothing gets me faster than a book that opens with the energy of “I have unresolved trauma, a revenge list, and unfortunately my ex is still hot.” That’s it. That’s the plot.

Good for Her knows exactly what it is, and thank God, because I do not have the patience for books that act shy about being messy. This is a woman returning to Hollywood to avenge her dead mother, bodies are dropping, everyone is suspicious, and her ex decides the best way to help is by essentially saying, “I support your murder journey, but I would also like to make it weirdly sexual.” Cinema. Absolute cinema.

Evie Reyes comes back to Hollywood carrying enough rage to power the entire studio lot. Five years ago, she watched her mother, an actual scream queen and iconic Final Girl, die on the set of Simon Says, and now she’s been cast as the lead in the reboot of that same movie because apparently the universe looked at her trauma and said, “Have you considered more of it?” But Evie is not here for closure. She is not here for career opportunities. She is here with six names and the kind of eye contact that makes men suddenly remember they left the stove on.

This woman rolls back into Hollywood like if Sidney Prescott had better eyeliner and a revenge spreadsheet. Every producer, director, and morally bankrupt industry man should have started packing immediately. She’s not trying to survive the horror movie, she’s trying to become the problem, and I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs equally.

Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for me, Sebastian Shaw is also here. Sebastian is her ex, Hollywood’s favorite charming liar, and the kind of man who absolutely says things like “trust me” while actively being the least trustworthy person in a ten-mile radius. He finds out Evie’s revenge plan and instead of saying something reasonable like “please seek help,” he offers her a deal. He’ll help her get close to every man on her list… in exchange for six hookups. Six. Sir, this is extortion with abs.

And the worst part is… it works. Because Sebastian is written with the kind of annoying emotional depth that ruins a perfectly good hate-read. I wanted him to just be Hot Problem Man #12, but no, he has layers. He has history with Evie. He has guilt, regret, actual feelings. Rude. Their dynamic is all sharp edges and old wounds and the specific kind of chemistry where every conversation feels like foreplay and a hostage negotiation at the same time. Exactly my brand of nonsense.

Evie is the real star, though. She’s angry in that deliciously earned way, where you’re not questioning her choices so much as asking if she needs help hiding a body. She’s grieving, messy, funny, and so committed to the bit that even when she knows she’s making the worst possible decision, she still walks straight into it in great shoes. I love a female main character who is not trying to be likable. She is trying to get justice and maybe ruin several powerful men before lunch. That’s feminism.

The Hollywood horror setting is perfect because everyone already seems like they’re one bad audition away from murder anyway. The Simon Says reboot is this glossy little nightmare full of ego, secrets, and people who should absolutely not be left alone with NDAs. It has that delicious self-aware slasher energy where the industry itself feels like the villain, and honestly… accurate. The whole thing feels like Scream and Jennifer’s Body got drunk together and decided revenge was self-care.

And because we need to discuss the audiobook, Luke Persiani and Ryder Sol absolutely showed up ready to cause problems for me personally. Luke gives Sebastian exactly the right voice, smooth, cocky, just enough softness underneath that you start making excuses for him against your will. Dangerous. Ryder gives Evie this perfect mix of fury and vulnerability, like she could either kiss you or key your car and both would feel narratively satisfying. Together, it’s that magic dual narration sweet spot where suddenly you’re folding laundry like you’re also complicit in these crimes.

Tylor Paige really understands that the “good for her” genre only works if you let the woman be genuinely furious. Not cute angry. Not “she’s feisty.” I mean full scorched-earth, burn-the-system-down rage. And underneath all the murder and banter, there’s real grief here. Evie isn’t just chasing revenge because it’s fun and sexy, though occasionally it is. She’s trying to make sense of losing her mother, of being failed by everyone who should have protected her, and of what justice even looks like when the people with power keep rewriting the script.

Which is why the romance works. It’s not soft. It’s not easy. It’s two people dragging years of damage behind them like emotional carry-on luggage and somehow still finding their way back to each other. Sometimes love is flowers. Sometimes it’s helping your ex investigate suspicious deaths while negotiating a sex contract like you’re drafting corporate policy.

I had such a ridiculously good time with this. It’s sharp, sexy, bloody, and just unhinged enough that every time Evie made a choice, I whispered “girl…” and then immediately wanted her to continue. Four stars, easily. I came for revenge murder and stayed for the emotional damage, the final girl fury, and a man who looked at a vengeance quest and said, “Cool, but can I make it horny?”

Huge thanks to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for the ALC, and for once again supporting my favorite hobby, which is letting fictional hot people make catastrophic life choices directly into my headphones while I nod along like yes, absolutely, this seems healthy.

[Natalie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was so addictive!

It was dark, messy, and completely gripping from start to finish. The premise alone hooked me: a girl whose mum was a “final girl” in a horror franchise, now dead ruled suicide but her daughter knows that’s not the case, and she’s determined to find out what really happened.

I honestly couldn’t put this down. It reads like a TV series in the best way! fast-paced, dramatic, and full of twists that keep you guessing. Every time I thought I had it figured out, something else came out.

Highly recommend if you love suspense, mystery and horror!

Thank you NetGalley for providing the arc in exchange for my review.

🎬She. Is. My. Final. Girl.🎬

This is definitely a story about getting revenge and seeking vengeance on the ones who I like to refer to as “They.” The elite, the corrupted ones that hold power, the puppeteers, people who do horrific demented sh!t and get away with it. But they don’t get away with it in this book.

Evie is our FMC who has come back to Hollywood with one thing in mind and a list. A very specific list. She will avenge her mother for what was done to her 5yrs prior. But she is not the only one who seeks revenge. Sebastian, the boy she left behind, has a few scores to settle himself for his own reasons. They are brought together again to film Simon Says 666, which is a slasher film franchise. Both must navigate through their feelings and goals. As they go down the list, secrets and betrayals are revealed. Everything Evie thought she knew goes way deeper and darker than she imagined.

Both of our MCs are horror fanatics and even use horror movie quotes as their own language. We get some very spicy scenes. 🥵 Even one in a well known house from a particular Hitchcock movie. Lots of red bull, bleach, sex and blood. What else do you need? 😂

Beep Beep Richie!! That is all you get. This book will keep you in suspense and entertained until the very last page!

[Bookish_Aly_Cat · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a fun blend of horror and romance. The mystery surrounding what actually happened with Evie’s mom and everything surrounding that really drew me in and kept me hooked.

I loved the Hollywood backdrop and all of the behind the scenes moments we got with that setting. It was interesting to see how all of those elements tied into the overall story.

It was nice getting perspectives from both main characters, Evie and Sebastian. You got a good understanding of what they both went through in the industry and why they were doing the things they were doing.

There were some things that I questioned, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the story. If you enjoy horror films, this will definitely be up your alley.

3.25/5 ⭐️
2.5/5 🌶️

I really wanted to love this one. The premise? So good. A horror romance set on a film lot, revenge plot, morally gray heroine, messy ex… it had all the ingredients.

But for me, it just didn’t land.

I kept waiting to feel hooked—like I needed to know what happened next—and that feeling never came. The pacing felt off, and I found myself more disengaged than invested. For a story built around revenge and rising tension, it just… didn’t grip me the way I expected.

Now let’s talk audiobook.

Ryder Sol (Evie) was fantastic. Her performance felt emotional, grounded, and believable—she carried the character really well.

Luke Persiani (Sebastian)… unfortunately, not so much. His delivery felt very flat, like the emotional depth just wasn’t there. And the female voices? Honestly, they pulled me completely out of the story every time. It got to the point where I was cringing instead of staying immersed.

Also—can we please retire dual narration when duet is right there?! This story needed that back-and-forth realism, especially with the dynamic between Evie and Sebastian.

Overall, this one had so much potential, but it didn’t quite deliver for me—both in story and audio execution.

Thanks to the author, their publisher, and NetGalley for the ALC.

Eeek I hate doing this as the earc was gifted to me by the publisher and author but this just wasn't for me. I liked the premise of the book but somewhere it just lost me and I was so so bored. I feel it just drug out way longer then it needed too.
The special language between our main characters was clever and I enjoyed that but the use of "Final Girl" was so over used i wanted to throw my book. And the MMC did annoy me alot.
I do think a lot of ppl will really enjoy this book, especially if you like slasher movies

This is a 3.5 for me. It was a good concept and I am glad a read it. The pacing is a little inconsistent causing it to drag in a few spots and a tad cheesy.

[Athena 💗 · Rating 2 out of 5]

1.5⭐️ I did not like this book at all. I went into it thinking it was a murder mystery but then it stared to take some weird turns and I realized it’s actually a dark romance, murder mystery. There were moments where I would be intrigued enough to see how the story would play out but then honestly it just got so boring and I lost interest completely. Sebastian was not likable whatsoever, his character annoyed the crap out of me and he was just all around cringey. Actually, this entire book was cringey. I was trying to listen to the audiobook with headphones while picking weeds in my front yard and the neighbors could probably see my facial expressions from a mile away.

happiest release day to @tylorpaige_author! and thank you to netgalley and victory editing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

4.5 🔪

i had good for her on my radar for a while, so i went in already excited. and the moment i saw the mmc’s name was SEBASTIAN, it was over for me. i don’t make the rules. something about a sebastian in a book just hits every time istg!

this story really commits to its premise and doesn’t try to water anything down. evie comes back to hollywood with a plan, and the book lets her be exactly who she needs to be to carry that out. there’s grief under everything she does, but it never slows her down, it fuels her. i loved that she wasn’t softened or made easier to digest. she makes choices, stands in them, and keeps moving.

as for Sebastian, HE is exactly who he thinks he is. he is the kind of problem you want him to be. their history is messy in that way where you know neither of them ever really got over it, and now they’re forced right back into each other’s orbit. every interaction felt loaded, not just with attraction but with everything they never said and everything they still won’t say.

the hollywood setting added so much for me. everything looks polished on the outside, but underneath it’s all ego, secrets, and people protecting themselves at all costs. it made the whole revenge angle feel even more satisfying because of who she’s going after and where it’s all happening.

i also just had a really good time reading this. it’s the kind of book that keeps you locked in because you need to see how far things will go and who’s going to crack first. and the romance worked for me because it didn’t try to clean anything up. it let these two be complicated and still find their way back to each other in their own way.

as someone who reads a lot of slasher romance, this book was just such a fun, addictive read for me! it gave me exactly what i wanted!! can’t wait for the second book!! 🖤

tropes: 💔 second chance • 🩸 revenge plot • 🎬 hollywood setting • 🔥 forced proximity • 🖤 morally gray love interest • 🔪 feminine rage/final girl

[DJJarvisReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will never not recommend Good For Her by Tylor Paige! It very quickly became a 5 star read, in the end it became a god tier book for me. This book hooked me from the very beginning and kept me hooked the whole book. Tylor did such a great job with all of the plot twists being surprising and each one had my jaw dropping. The characters were written so well, the ones you were meant to love, you love, and the ones you’re supposed to hate, you hate. That being said Tylor wrote the emotion in this story so well that you can literally feel everyone’s emotions coming right off of the page. One of my favorite things about this book is all of the horror pop culture references. Being a horror fan it was super fun knowing where everything came from. Overall, this book was a whole experience, and I loved it. I think that this book is my favorite read of the year so far. I think that any horror fan needs to read this book. “It does this whenever it’s told”

[Tabatha_Reads_Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love a good slasher read, and Good For Her definitely satisfies my need!

A second chance romance, morally grey FMC, feminine rage and REVENGE! This final girl gone rogue read was absolutely fantastic! I loved the Easter eggs throughout the book and the nostalgia from a horror movie loving babe like myself was completely warm and fuzzy to see them. The characters were well written and I loved the dynamics between them, especially Evie and Sebastian. The plot unfolded in perfect timing and I was easily turning the pages to keep reading. Things definitely a new favorite slasher read, and I am so excited to read more from Tylor Paige!

Thank you to Grimm and Co. for the arc copy of Good for her.

I absolutely loved how unhinged Sebastian and Evie were together and the lengths that they would go to make the world burn and destroy those who harmed them. The horror referrences sprinkled through out the book (including Heathers) were top tier and I really had a fun time reading even though Western Michigan University is mentioned...

Tylor always does an amazing job of combining horror, comedy and alll the kinks, so naturally Good for her was going to be amazing.

[Carrie R. B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of those book where you just have to buckle up and enjoy the ride. I thought it was a really fun read, and I loved all the references to books/movies in the horror genre. The way that Evie and Sebastian spoke in code using quotes from horror movies was really cute.

The main characters didn’t always make the best decisions, but that kept the book very true to the horror movie genre. There were times when I thought Sebastian went a bit too far with things, and Evie seemed to forgive or get over it a bit too quickly. Other than that, I enjoyed the book very much. If you are a horror movie fan, I highly recommend this book!

The beginnings of the book was enjoyable, but some of the murders just didn’t work for me and some of the storyline as well. I will continue to read her books, just not one of my favorites.

Well this was unexpected and an unhinged delight. I mean who doesn't love a plot line about creepy billionaire men getting what's coming to them? I felt like in todays world this book gave me a taste of the retribution we're all craving. I don't want to say too much about the story because I do think this would be a great book to go into blind since it's a little different than the usual dark romance.

The characters are fun. I really enjoyed the friendships formed in this book and I would honestly love to read more from this author.
I did the audio version of this book and thought it was an amazingly entertaining listen.

Give this book a go when you're in the mood for a dark romance that's little different and are also actively wishing for the downfall of the patriarchy

Loved!! This was so fun! Reminded me of a mix of the Mind Fuck series, Butcher and Blackbird, and Lights Out. So what more could you need to be convinced to read this??

I think this is a 3.5. It was an interesting concept and I liked the characters. There were definitely a few moments that felt like they were added for shock value. Still, it’s a good slasher story.

I fear I will never shut up about this.
I was watching the Exorcist…it got me thinking of you. 🥰

Okay I can form coherent thoughts now. SO!

Evie and Sebastian were once in love, until tragedy struck and Evie left the only home she’s ever known without saying goodbye. After her mom’s sudden passing, she went to live with her aunt and began planning her revenge. 6 men took her mother’s life far too soon, she was going to take theirs away just as brutally.

I loved everything about this!! The plot, the romance, the gore, the campiness, the Easter eggs… incredible. Fantastic. Gimme 14 of em NOW.
All I ask, is Tylor please let me ARC read your next book because I’m obsessed with this kind of story.

I adore Tylor Page and her stories! She absolutely crushes writing a strong female lead like Evie, and the banter is always top tier!

Just as I’ve recommended Tylor’s other works, I will recommend this one too!

Good For Her by Tylor Paige needs to be on your April anticipated reads list and here’s why 👀

“You talk a lot of game for someone who has no say in what I make mine.” He slid his hand up my thighs, lifting my dress, then spanked me, causing both a pinch of pain and a shiver of pleasure to come from my core. “Now bend over so I can make you c*me.” - Sebastian Shaw

🍿Hollywood Horror
🎬 Second Chance
🔪 Revenge Plot
🤡 Found Family

If you want a book with an FMC who’s an absolute babe and fully prepared to take out every slimy man on her revenge list, paired with an MMC who is down bad for his childhood crush, and balances tension, horror nostalgia, romance, and all the gory details… this is the one.

Keeping quiet about this book has genuinely been painful because it’s that good. When you finish it, please slide into my DMs because I need someone to yap about it with.

Ty did the damn thing with this book and I’m so excited for everyone to experience it.

AudioBook Review: Good for Her absolutely consumed me in the best possible way! From the very first sentence, I was completely hooked, and there was genuinely never a moment where I wanted to hit pause. I devoured this audiobook in a single day because it was THAT addictive. The storyline was phenomenal! It’s dark, twisty, emotional, revenge-filled perfection. And honestly, I need more stories like this in my life… immediately. It had everything I love: obsession, vengeance, tension, chaos, romance, and nonstop jaw-dropping moments.

Luke Persiani and Ryder Sol completely knocked their performances out of the park. Their narration brought so much raw emotion and intensity to every scene, especially the heavier moments, and it made the story feel incredibly immersive. Luke absolutely nailed the “bad boy Hollywood star” energy, while Ryder delivered the perfect balance of rage, heartbreak, and determination as a woman out for revenge. Together? Unreal chemistry. Even though this is marketed as a horror romance, it leans deeply into dark romance territory because of the themes surrounding the “6-who-shall-not-be-named.” And WOW, the chemistry between Sebastian and Evie had me absolutely feral. I’m such a sucker for the “he chases her because he’s hopelessly in love” trope, and Sebastian delivered HARD. When he offered to leave Hollywood behind for her? I was swooning. Fully. Completely. Although honestly, I couldn’t even blame Evie for pushing him away at first because realistically? I probably would’ve reacted the same way in her position.

That being said, definitely check your trigger warnings before diving in. This book is one giant, glorious revenge-fueled murder spree, complete with body-part chopping and serious serial-killer-adjacent chaos. But somehow it all felt wildly satisfying in that “they absolutely deserved it” kind of way. And honestly, Sebastian felt just as revenge driven as Evie at times. You could feel how deeply he loved her mother and how desperate he was for justice. Also, can we talk about his first Agent for a sec? The SECOND she started controlling his eating habits, I knew she was bad news. So when everything finally came crashing down for her at the end? I was grinning. Justice served. But surprisingly, Skye ended up being the absolute MVP for me. At first, I was convinced she was going to betray them, but watching her completely flip the script and become the mastermind behind the operation was ICONIC. The pool party scene? Amazing. I will never not laugh as hard as I did when they called it “death-by-margarita”. Seeing her drop the “ditsy blonde” act and reveal she was actually the smartest person in the room instantly made her my favorite character.

I was genuinely sad when this audiobook ended because I wasn’t ready to leave these characters or this insane storyline behind. The ending felt absolutely perfect while still leaving me with so many questions living rent-free in my head. Like… if Evil Daddy hadn’t left that gun sitting on the table, would he have actually tried to be civil with Evie? Can you really reconnect with your daughter after murdering her mother and watching her eliminate all your friends? We’ll never know—but WOW, what a wild, unforgettable, death-by-pool-cover ride that was… if you know what I mean LOL. I would recommend this 10x over. If you love dark, messy, revenge-filled stories with incredible tension, emotional performances, and the ultimate “good for her” energy wrapped up in a bloody little bow, this audiobook is a MUST.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC!

Good For Her is an interesting blend of a slasher film and a romance, following our two main characters: Evie and Sebastian, as they work together to murder the 6 men responsible for the death of Evie's mother. The concept of this book had me hooked from the start, I haven't read a lot of horror romances, so this was different and exciting territory for me!

If you're a fan of horror movies, this book will be a treat for you with so many references I could barely keep up, but the references were also easy enough to understand for someone who isn't much of a horror movie watcher (me) and still added to the plot in a meaningful way to set the tone of the book.

For me, this book was good and I did definitely enjoy my time with it, but it felt like it was missing some things or took paths that I didn't particularly like that lowered my score a bit. To a certain extent, I think you do have to go into this expecting some people to make some dumb decisions; like every horror movie known to man, many of which wouldn't have happened if some of the characters were just a hint smarter.

In terms of the smut... it was fine. Only one of the scenes actually had me flustered but it didn't mean the rest were bad, they just didn't do it for me much, they moreso felt like they were going through the motions; but at least they didn't overstay their welcome.

I think my biggest gripe with the book was honestly the characterization of Evie and the relationship between her and Sebastian. It's a second-chance romance, and I'm aware of that, and Evie is fighting her own emotions throughout the book because she doesn't want to get attached and get stuck in Hollywood after everything is said and done, or have anyone there to mourn her if things do go wrong, but... It gets exhausting, especially near the end of the book, when she constantly keeps fighting it with Sebastian; and some of the arguments genuinely just feel like they're there for the sake of drama and get resolved within a chapter or 2. Like the whole thing where the breakup was staged by Seb's old manager, Heather. I find it hard to believe Evie wouldn't recognize that the language that Wes used wasn't anything Seb would ever say to her, especially after a bit less than a decade hanging around each other, and also the break up was mentioned maybe twice before that in passing? And then it was instantly solved once it was brought up. Plus with how hurtful that breakup message was, I find it hard to believe that she didn't bring it up sooner when she realized that Seb still had feelings for her? That entire plotline just felt odd.

Not to mention the fact none of the people on the list had bodyguards, even toward the end when they knew they were being targeted. This is where the suspension of disbelief has to come in, because realistically these men should've had guards, and at the end Arthur shouldn't have believed that Seb and Evie would turn on each other. I also wasn't a fan of the reused Redbull-can death like what happened with Glenn at the beginning

Please check your triggers for this book because there is a decent amount of triggering content; this book deals heavily with abuse in Hollywood in every way shape and form, and I do think it handles it well.

Overall, this was a 3.75/5 stars for me, a fun read that I don't regret and I'll consider looking into the next book! I do hope we get a side story with Skye at some point though, because I adored her character and I wish we saw more of her.
