Unstable — Colors of Shay, by H.I. Flood

Coming soon · Debut novel

Unstable

A telepathic outcast. An ancient vampire. A connection neither of them expected.

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

She Heard Every Thought. Except His.

Shay has spent her whole life hearing what people really think—and learning to wish she couldn't. Silas has spent two thousand years certain nothing could surprise him. When they meet by accident in a corner café, everything either of them thought they knew begins to unravel. Unstable is a story about the walls we build, the connections that break through them, and what happens when the one person who truly sees you isn't entirely human.

The heroine

Shay

A telepath who has spent her entire life drowning in the unspoken thoughts of everyone around her. She survives by keeping her distance, her walls up, and her expectations low. Keeping people at arm's length isn't a choice — it's survival.

Two thousand years old

Silas

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.

A city alive with hidden worlds

As Shay and Silas 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.

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.

Vampires Werewolves Shape-shifters Demons
A story about identity, connection, and the terrifying courage it takes to let someone in.

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

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