Rating: 3 out of 5

~A few edits made from my original review to allow for posting on amazon~This was one of those books I went back and forth on the rating. One of those books where you have to decide, "Were the things I loved enough to overlook the things I didn't?" Damn my indecision!!First, "the things I didn't". I just get tired of reading books about the innocent virgin that for some unknown reason (at least unknown to me), guys instantly fall all over themselves to be with. Does she have beer flavored nips? A vag that projects ESPN. I just don't get it.Other things were just minor. Like Scarlett driving me insane and parts of the story where the writing was a little unclear and rushed. Nothing that a little more writing experience won't fix. But WTF was up with the fade-to-black?! Erin Noelle gives us some amazing, hot, steamy "anything but" moments (Holy hell is it hot), but when it's finally time for that first ummm...thrust, we get a fade-to-black!!? Seriously, with all that sexy buildup I never saw it coming. You know...not actually seeing it coming. Shove that inner prude back in the closet Erin and lock the door. I know you can deliver hot!!Despite my issues, I loved so much about this book. I was truly floored and surprised that I was not bothered by the multiple love interests. It actually worked really well with the story, and I'm one that usually cringes at love triangles (or squares).I loved all the book boyfriend talk!! It was spot-on!If those books get your panties all wet, what's going to happen when and actual hottie gets his hands on you?I'm not sure if I loved all the actual book references though. Only because it kind of blocked me from totally submerging myself into fiction world, but I did truly appreciate Evie and Scarlett's love for books. It was a great addition to the story.By the second half of the book, I was so involved with the story I couldn't see straight. I had been sucked in, possessed, and left totally confused. I was at a total loss over what team to sign with. Team Mason? Team Aiden? I was completely torn and I LOVED that. I hate when the decision is simple. I adore how I was just as heart split as Scarlett.The ending left me wanting more, needing more. I was incredibly close to stalking Erin Noelle and begging, pleading for the sequel...now!! I was left with so many unresolved emotions. I just want some peace dammit!So it all boils down to this. There were things about Metamorphosis that had me holding tightly to my stars, but there were also things that pried them from my stubborn fingers.So can I really just three-star a book that I couldn't put down, a book that had me willing to commit felonies or multiple sex acts to get my hands on the sequel? The jury is split, but it is a story I decided to let shine through it's imperfections and take me for a ride. Erin Noelle will take you for a ride!READ ON!
