Here are a couple of other shape-shifting books I've read recently...

Last year I posted "Dangerous Clay" by J. Elliot Riley on this site, and there was a thread about it on the board: Dangerous Clay thread on metamorphose

"Turing & Burroughs: A Beatnik SF Novel" by Rudy Rucker is a weird "historical" sci-fi book in which the father of modern computing, Alan Turing, and Beat novelist William Burroughs get turned into alien shape-shifting slugs and become lovers. There's an interesting part in the middle of the books where Turing spends a lot of time as a woman.

The "Agents of Change" trilogy by Guy Harrison features the secretive Agency of Influence, whose agents (including the protagonist) can transform into anyone. Quite a bit of gender-changing, not a lot of sexy stuff going on, but still pretty interesting.

The "Bartimaeus" books by Jonathan Stroud (fantasy) and the "As You Wish" books by Mindy Klasky (urban fantasy/romance) both feature djinns who change form and gender at a whim. Bartimaeus is like a demon who reluctantly follows the commands of an unlikable Harry Potter-like master. Teel in the "As You Wish" books is a more traditional wish-granting genie whose personality depends on the form s/he is in at the moment.

That's all for now, but I'm on the lookout for more.

Adding a few more books to the list. I'm should really add these as entries when I have time...

The Impostor by Lily Lang features a woman named Tessa who can change into anyone... she was working for British government during the Napoleonic Wars with a group of spies that possess super powers. (Sounds vaguely like an adult romance version of The Infernal Devices... with a shape-shifting heroine with the same name!)

Dangerous Shift is a supernatural romance novel by Jill James. It is set in a world with human shapeshifters who can change at will. They are usually oriented toward one gender, though their alternate gender forms may have different abilities and personalities. Someone is trying to eradicate these shapeshifters from the planet, so it's up to a group of shapeshifter cops to try to stop the genocide. We don't see much of the main character's female persona (more of his love interest's male persona), but it's still a very interesting read.

Changeling by Gulliver Noir is a short story (the first part of a longer story to be published) of Clyde, a "sexologist" who discovers that some urban legends are real... in this case, the "Girl with Green Eyes", a sex-starved shape-shifter who can become the ideal type for anyone. The girl takes several forms, and can even change into a man... and she begins to have an effect on Clyde.

After reading this, bought every day, mind jumper and touch. I have to say I'm dissapointing from a TG point of view, although they're kind of entertaining as fiction. Having that said, I prefer any story I can find on fictionmania.

Still haven't found a book like Shifter from Michael Beck...

From: guest , 106 months, post #27
@james: I can only find that Shifter book on Amazon and only for Kindle which I don't have. I seems like a really good book. Any idea where I could find it DRM-free?

From: guest (james) , 106 months, post #28
Don't know free, but if you purchase you can read it using the kindle reader web version in your browser

From: Holly Dunn , 106 months, post #29
So after seeing this thread pop up again, I finally broke down and bought "Shifter" by Michael Beck. It's a solid story, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the top of any TG story list.

Since it is a $7.00 book, I figured I would at least share where it falls short for me.

The book is first person and switches the point of view character, time, and place from chapter to chapter. I found it difficult to figure out until well into each chapter whether the main character was in male or female form. It seemed like the descriptions or indicators of the characters form were lacking and it left me confused at many times as to what body he was in. The character seemed to have a main male form and female form, but then could change into anyone that he or she could touch or had touched. But the physical descriptions or indicators of who the character was at any given time fell short for me.

So I was often confused for quite some time in each chapter as to who the character's identity was at the moment. For me, this made the tension fizzle with every chapter break until at least 1/4 into the next chapter when I could figure out who the character was at the moment and how that fit into the plot.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the book "Devil may care" by Cait Emilian? The author made the book free on Amazon as a download but the book is no longer on there (or anywhere else for that mater).

From: guest , 79 months, post #31
I've been looking for "Devil May Care" too! Does anyone happen to know where to find it/or have it?

From: guest , 54 months, post #32
Did you ever manage to find a copy of "Devil May Care"? I can't find a copy of it anywhere. I still can't believe it was going for free too before it was removed. ;-(

From: guest , 36 months, post #33
@ #30-32

Hey did you guys ever manage to find the book in the end? I've been trying to find the book too for years now and I have not been able to find it online to download or to purchase.

Any help would be much appreciated!
