I received an e-Galley ARC of Transmuted, authored by Eve Harms, published by Unnerving, book 30 of the Rewind or Die series, for review consideration. What follows below is my honest review, freely given. I rated this novella 5 stars. I have been signed up to her newsletter for a fair bit now; pretty stoked to see some of the alchemy info that peppers the emails make an appearance in the flesh, so to speak. Isa is on the cusp of having FFS—facial feminization surgery—after raising/saving enough when the old faithful family member comes out of the woodwork to guilt her out of it. I’m a tad miffed that said family member is a Sarah (my name!), because it is a travesty against a good name. I would never do that (especially for that reason)! Joking aside, Isa obviously is in need of all the love and support in this story, which I vowed to give her from this point on. The reader is a spectator on her shoulder throughout, her internal voice a guide when all else is silent. One thing that I respect early on about her, even when she’s feeling low she pushes on, doesn’t stop. If something sounds too good to be true, you know the rest right? Well, she finds that out for herself, the body horror way. This read incredibly realistic, because I have been guilty of clicking on questionable ads, just to see what was going on. The tadpole looking stuff you pour in water for weight loss, I’ve looked at the ad. Guy talking about women need to lose weight to their specific metabolism, yep. Clicked on it. Isa did go a bit further, went to the Dr.’s actual office, but I completely understand. The whole spiral of the novella starts and does not end, ever. Isa, once afraid that changes to her body weren’t happening fast enough, is now in free fall with no idea where (if) it will end. While a family emergency continues in the background. And a new love interest is thrown into the mix. And I’m not going to tell spoilers but it get so much worse for her! And then conspiracy, occult and alchemy, death, violence!!! Isa does not deserve the sh*t she is having to deal with, full stop. Transmuted combines serious issues with the macabre, dry humor and gore-a-plenty, body horror, and a girl worth fighting for, but who fights for herself. I loved every minute of it.

Her doctor is giving her the body of his dreams...and her nightmares. Isa is a micro-celebrity who rarely shows her face, and cant wait to have it expertly ripped off and rearranged to look more feminine. When a successful fundraiser makes her gender affirming surgery possible, shes overjoyeduntil she has to give up all her money to save her dying father. Crushed by gender dysphoria and the pressure of disappointing her fans who paid for a new face, she answers a sketchy ad seeking transgender women for a free, experimental feminization treatment. The grotesquely flawless Dr. Skurm has gruesome methods, but he gets unbelievable results, and Isa is finally feeling comfortable in her skin. She even gains the courage to ask out her crush: an alluring and disfigured alchemy-obsessed artist named Rayna. But Isas body wont stop changing, and shes going from super model to super mutant. She has to discover the secret behind her metamorphosisbefore the changes are irreversible, and shes an unwanted freak forever. TRANSMUTED is an outrageous and unapologetically queer body horror tale that will leave you gasping, giggling, and gagging for more. Experience the freaky thrills of TRANSMUTED today!

Still, it appears to have worked. Isa begins to see dramatic results beyond her wildest dreams. The changes are not limited to her face or to ridding her of masculine features. She is downright beautiful! Unfortunately the changes don't stop, and Dr. Skurm has evil plans as mad scientists tend to do.
Transmuted is number 30 in the Rewind or Die series, and although it is a quick read with some bizarro body horror it may also be a clever and exaggerated look at the reality of what it may feel like for trans people who are stuck in the "wrong" body as Isa is transformed into something she does not recognize.
