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!

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.
