A Woman Transformed by Rianne Burnett

A Woman, Transformed: A Tale of Supernatural Erotica by [Rianne Burnett]
($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) When Gemma is cursed by an angry student, she begins a transformation into a Wendigo. As she transforms, she also transforms mentally and sexually. [Purchase Link]

As a heads up, if you got excited about wendigos, you might want to sit back down. This is more or less a were-animal story, not a story about a haunting spirit born from evil to seek evil, losing its humanity and grip on society. The main character gets turned in a very werewolf fashion, and maintains her humanity (though she gets anger issues) post-transformation. Why it's tagged as were-other instead of wendigo.

I've rewritten this review multiple times because I didn't dislike this book, but it's hard to write about without it sounding that way. There's a really great story that I'd love to read here, and I can see that the author has a lot of technical talent in scene building, but the structure is a sort of fatal flaw, and I can't talk about any part of this story without bringing up how it feels like I'm reading spliced scenes from a work 4x the size of this one. The scope of the story was far too large for a short.

I'll be coming back to this author, but definitely not this short. The author has a lot of stuff out, and what's in this book is really good, so I don't want to assume literally everything she's put out has this distracting a scope issue.

Reign of the Demon Queen by Devon Jaxon

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) The queen of succubi has been freed from her Nowhere Jail where she then kills a bunch of dudes via sex and definitely enslaves a woman that she insists is not a slave [purchase link] This one is interesting because despite being like 50% sex, it reads less like an erotica and more as a plot-driven story. It also takes a first person route of a top, which I appreciate because you just don't see that very much. Giving this the purchased tag because of the totally-a-slave woman, even though she isn't purchased. Giving this the consensual tag because it reads as consensual, but, well. Slave woman.

Sinful Holidays by Rianne Burnett

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) Mira keeps calling her ex for sexual relief, but decides she has to move on. When she does, though, she ends up getting involved with a serious demon. [Purchase Link] Right up my alley, well-written characters, and hot sex! The scope of the story matches its length (there is a plot thread left unresolved, but that doesn't bother me too much), and it has a good amount of plot-to-sex. It's not quite horror. There is stakes, but the horror element is very light in this book.

Under His Spell by Vivian Blake

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A woman married to a man not afraid of sharing is approached by a devilishly handsome witch. [Purchase Link] I appreciate that this work spent time to establish that everyone wants her to fuck the stranger, but then it kept establishing that for over half the pages which gets annoying. It's also establishing it in that mixed-message way that's supposed to appeal to "I want this but can't say yes due to societal expectation" crowd, you know, the "Baby It's Cold Outside" people. I used to be that crowd, and this would have certainly gotten me off then. Now, as the title suggests, there IS a love potion involved. It's not the "you feel compelled to fuck me now" kind, but the "liquid courage" kind. Personally, I'd have preferred the protagonist consented to the spell, but again, I'm not gonna hold my personal taste against the work. It has its target demo, it hits it, but by hitting its target ...
