Part of Colors of Shay

By Helen Buengener

In a city alive with hidden worlds, Shay is unlike anyone—human or otherwise. A telepath who has spent her entire life drowning in the unspoken thoughts of everyone around her, she has learned to survive by keeping her distance, her walls up, and her expectations low. Then, in the back corner of a quiet café, she accidentally slips into the mind of a vampire—and he notices.Unstable is the story of an unlikely connection forged between two telepaths from opposite ends of existence. Silas is ancient, powerful, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Shay is small, brilliant, broken in ways she can name and ways she cannot, and completely unlike anyone he has encountered in two thousand years. As the two navigate a fragile, complicated friendship, Silas and his brother Colin begin to realize that Shay is far more than a useful asset—and Shay begins to wonder, for the first time, what it might mean to truly belong somewhere.Rich with supernatural intrigue, a labyrinthine cast of vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, and demons, and a heroine whose inner world is as vivid and chaotic as the city she roams, Unstable is a story about identity, connection, and the terrifying courage it takes to let someone in when you have spent a lifetime knowing exactly what people really think of you.Tender, tense, and wholly original, Unstable marks the debut of a voice that refuses to be categorized—and a character readers will not soon forget.

About This Book

In a city alive with hidden worlds, Shay is unlike anyone—human or otherwise. A telepath who has spent her entire life drowning in the unspoken thoughts of everyone around her, she has learned to survive by keeping her distance, her walls up, and her expectations low. Then, in the back corner of a quiet café, she accidentally slips into the mind of a vampire—and he notices.

Unstable is the story of an unlikely connection forged between two telepaths from opposite ends of existence. Silas is ancient, powerful, and accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Shay is small, brilliant, broken in ways she can name and ways she cannot, and completely unlike anyone he has encountered in two thousand years. As the two navigate a fragile, complicated friendship, Silas and his brother Colin begin to realize that Shay is far more than a useful asset—and Shay begins to wonder, for the first time, what it might mean to truly belong somewhere.

Rich with supernatural intrigue, a labyrinthine cast of vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, and demons, and a heroine whose inner world is as vivid and chaotic as the city she roams, Unstable is a story about identity, connection, and the terrifying courage it takes to let someone in when you have spent a lifetime knowing exactly what people really think of you.

Tender, tense, and wholly original, Unstable marks the debut of a voice that refuses to be categorized—and a character readers will not soon forget.

Shay has never needed anyone. She can hear every thought, feel every lie, and read every hidden motive before a single word is spoken. Keeping people at arm's length isn't a choice—it's survival.

Then she makes the mistake of slipping into a vampire's mind. And he slips back.

Silas is two thousand years old, dangerously powerful, and utterly fascinated by the small, unusual woman who can block him out completely—and who, against all reason, is not afraid of him. As the two form an unlikely friendship that neither can quite explain, something older and more dangerous than either of them begins to stir in the shadows.

Shay doesn't know what she is. Silas isn't sure he wants to find out. And the world they are carefully building together is more fragile—and more necessary—than either of them will admit.

For fans of slow-burn supernatural romance, fierce heroines, and vampires who actually have something to lose, Unstable is the beginning of something unexpected.
