    Thank you, Tylor, Netgalley, and Victory Editing for the ARC! This is my own honest and voluntary review of Good for Her by Tylor Paige.

    Right off the bat, the book has you hooked; it has clearly marked CW/TW and marketed content, all of which is right up my alley. The pacing is fabulous, and it really does keep you busy. I wanted to tune out the world and keep reading because I had so many questions I needed to answer!

    The slasher and horror references were great, and the dialogue was as well. The banter and humorous back and forth, the chemistry even through the chaos, and the spice level make for a book you won’t want to put down.

    I will say that the main characters are absolutely memorable, but so are the side characters. Tylor did a fantastic job with this story.

    Overall, Evie is an icon, I can’t wait to add this to my physical shelf and check out the audiobook!

    Keep up the great work Ty! I can’t wait to see what comes next.

    Before I review I wanted to say that I went in blind, I had no clue what the tropes, pairings, themes, or plot would be like. And I don't regret it!

    Tem, Caspen, and Leo make for an interesting love triangle. Watching Them learn that she is worthy and that she has power of her own in so many ways was great. Caspen... Oh sweet sweet Caspen. He's a bit brash, a bit stoic, and a bit... Lethal. His connection with Them from the get go was electric, and then the truths Tem discovers later?! Oh gods šŸ¤­šŸ˜…

    And the ritual for the quiver's blessing? šŸ‘€šŸ˜ˆ

    I really can't wait to have enough spoons to dive into book 2!

    ⭐ 4/5 šŸŒ¶ļø 3.5 (explicit, open door spice, etc)

    Such a great read, and it can be read as a standalone. Kai, Ashton, and Steven are such a cute pairing, and the chemistry is on fire from the moment they see each other. Jane did a great job with the characters, and I loved the 2SLGBTQIA+ rep in this story.

    It was great to see Kai, a non-binary omega, find their way through pain and love, all while being an educated baddie! Steven and Ashton’s support of each other, their futures and boundaries, and then Kai's as well was refreshing. If you are looking for a sweet read, definitely check The Wrong Pucking Omega out and add it to your TBR!

    Eeeeeek, okay, I paced myself through the winter holidays and into the new year. It was incredibly difficult not to devour this entire book in one or two sittings.

    I think the dynamic between the harem was awesome. It’s lush with connection, spice, love, trust, and chemistry that come across naturally. The plotline itself was fabulous, with a couple of twists and turns, but a firm pace.

    Clove is such a unique FMC, and it was really great to get to follow her journey and see her be vulnerable in so many ways. I enjoyed the HEA and will definitely be saving up for special edition(s) goodies of Carnage Island!

    This was a quick holiday read, and it really packs in the chaos that comes with the holidays. Who doesn't love a Canadian romance?!

    This was my first read by this author and I enjoyed their style. I think the build up and emotional complexities of both Will and Abby made for a good combo. You get to see lots of growth and pain, but also vulnerability.

    This is a low spice holiday novella and I'd recommend it if you're looking. For something light, sweet, later in life post-divorce for the FMC. It was great to see her find love again/admit it finally.

    El's scales: 4/5 ⭐ 1/5šŸŒ¶ļø (low spice late in the book)
