A Woman Transformed 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.
