With her new powers come deadly struggles as she quickly learns that being around her family and best friend when you crave blood, can be intense.
As time passes, she finds herself attracted to both brothers ,even though one is the greedy bastard who turned her. While still learning how to live this new life, Tori finds out that vampires are not the only creatures out there.
Lucien Steele comes into her life unexpectedly and opens her eyes even more to the new world she lives in. Will Tori be able to survive in this new supernatural world? Can she push aside her feelings for the brothers? Find out in this exciting new paranormal romance.
Wow, let's start with saying Transformed starts off right in the thick of things. No lube provided. Tori's wakes up with no recollection of where she is or how she got there, with someone who was in her work a few times. After a rather quick and painless transformation and adjustment to her new life, Tori excels at everything vampiric, and suddenly is being hounded by boys. As a boy dilemmas start adding up, life and death dilemmas do as well. Vampires, and werewolves, humans and hunters. Will Victoria save the day, or get a boy toy killed... find out next book.
Throughout the book, I struggled with Tori being oddly accepting and calm while dealing with her crazy life change, and then randomly crying or screaming about hating Sebation or Damien, then the next thought Tori was aroused and objectifying them, it was almost akin to teenage hormones if you will. Sebastian is portrayed as a mature male figure, but he seemed to bounce between grown and responsible, to random and careless. Damien came off as a teenager. A little wild and carefree, but seemed to lack the maturity of his age.
I believe Transformed was geared towards a young adult or even high schooler crowd, it was still a paranormal story that was a quick easy read for all.
Our heroine gets turned one night by one of our heroes, who thinks a bit too much of himself. But she learns that adopting this new life can have some perks.
This is the start of a paranormal romance series. The story is well written, but I am not entirely sure where it is going. I liked our heroine quite a bit as I found her to be smart enough to adapt pretty quickly. Our heroes are a bit of a mixed bag and I will reserve judgement on them. I really didn't care for the one that turned her as his personality just did not do it for me. I am not sure if this story is heading towards reverse harem territory, which I have had enough of, but again it could go either way. Overall, I thought the story had good potential and I really like the heroine and the setting. I look forward to the next book to see where things are going.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.
This book sucked me in form the beginning. Tori is so relatable and the author makes you really feel her struggle as she transforms. The chemistry with the two brothers is HOT. I found myself wanting her to have it all! This book did not disapooint.
I fell in love with this book from the beginning, the author did a great job telling the story! I loved the characters and can’t wait to read about the characters and more by the author. If you like paranormal romance you will really enjoy this book.
This is an interesting new series. It's about Tori who wakes up and finds out that not only is she now a vampire, but possibly one of the most powerful one around. The storyline is interesting and has a lot of potential for future books
Its not the greatest book ive read about vampires BUT i did like it Alot! So hear me out okey!
I love how yhe author gave this her own twist eventho i felt elements from other vampire & werewolf books wont name names but i did get some vibes and i didnt mind it as the author made it her own and i loved that.
As the story goes i found Tori a bit too accepting of her new "life"
Her powers are amazing but she gains control to easy except for certain moments.
What bugged me a little is that its giving me RH vibes but cant find if it is one (maybr because its not thats possible).
What i do love is the story it has a nice twist and the ploy is well written Thr characters are okay am liking Damien best.
When the next book comes out i will get my hands on a copie for sure!. ♡
If you read/watched Twilight, Vampire Diaries and the Originals and mixed them together this is what you would get. I erred on the side of generous caution and rated a fourth star. I realize it is hard to take this trope and make it original to the authors but this was way to close to the afore mentioned books for me to say this is not overly similar. I am going to read the next one and am hoping for maybe a more original story line and more maturity as this one spends most of the book fixating on the drugs and alcohol and who is pining the most over the new vampire. I can’t say I dislike the book, but it was not one for My Personal collection although it may be perfect for yours. To each their own.
Dive into this new paranormal romance series and fall in love with Tori, Sebastian, Damien, and Lucien. If you love paranormal romance novels, then you'll love this one.
This is the first book I've read by this author. The cover drew me in. I withered between 3 and 4 stars because I think i expected more from the story. It isn't bad, it's just very similar to The Vampire Diaries and Twilight. There isn't much to separate them. It's a YA PNR, but as it stands I'm still not sure who Tori will end up with to say there's romance in it. There's a lot of running on Tori's part, she's quite immature and just accepts the changes easily. I would have loved more action, more drama, more romance. I will have to read book 2 to see where the story goes, because book 1 ends with lots of questions unanswered. If you like a YA paranormal story then definitely give it a go.
Wow a very intense book, I can't wait to read more. Tori is a strong confused girl trying to come to terms with her new life her emotions and where she stands with the men in her life.
