Nothing is quite so deliciously freeing as caving to your instincts. For centuries, shapeshifters have personified our impulse to bow to our animalistic nature. From lycans to skin-walkers and everything in between, shapeshifters give us a chance to connect with our inner-selves and celebrate our intriguing differences, our passions, and ultimately our humanity through their necessity of striking a balance between their human selves and supernatural selves.
So this was definitely a little bit different from other shifter anthologies I’ve read. The writing for each story was well written. My opinion of each story varied as it went. Overall a pretty decent read. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I want to thank you Charlie Watson, Pen and Kink Publishing and NetGalley for this book. I promise to give an honest review so there it is.

I have always loved books where characters are shapeshifters. This was nice antholygy with 9 different shapeshifter romance. It was quite hard to understand why genre is erotica, because it feels quite tame. Or maybe it is because I love more if it is like hardcore version and not so tame. But book was quite nice but there was too short stories, because some stories feels that there need to be more than there was. But even thought there was many good stories, I need that I waiting something more. So maybe when I have read over 100 shapeshifter books before this anthology, I need something else. But it was ok to read, when you like or love shapeshifters just like me.

Transformed was a compilation of short stories about shifters. There were some stories I skipped over and others that I wish were longer. I wish more time were given to the more interesting stories.

I think in the main I enjoyed this book. As with other compilations, some you enjoy more than others but I did read all of them and none of them were badly written so on the whole I'd recommend to people who enjoy this genre

Transformed was a really interesting read. From selkies to cobras, this anthology had every type of shifter you could imagine. Transformed is categorized on Netgalley as Erotica, and for the latter half, I understand why, but the first half is pretty tame. Some of the stories are sweet stories of finding yourself or a dormant part of yourself and embracing that. 

I liked the diversity of voices and characters represented in this anthology. There were a plethora of shifters and their stories were so unique it made the reading of each one an experience. I especially enjoyed the story entitled "Thwarting the Spirits" about a mongoose and a cobra and when it ended, I wished there was more. Jones' writing was beautiful and magical and left me wanting more. The same can be said for Liz McAdams' "For the Love of the Hunt" and her story of a shifter who'd forgotten a primal part of herself.

Overall, this anthology was fun, sexy, and thrilling. I enjoyed the compilation for what it was!

*Special thanks to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What's great about this anthology is that it is like a buffet, there's something for everyone and you can relish a story or two or more without feeling hang up. Well, I was pretty hang up on some stories, but it's about shapeshifters, who wouldn't be? I requested to read this book off NetGalley and I'll admit, I was hesitant at first, because I always love reading a whole book or series on shapeshifters just so as to grow with them and see them handle situations differently. This book did not disappoint my only wish is that there could have been more stories, I know, it's asking for too much, but all in all, intriguing.
