Unhinged is a novella length sentient object romance book by author Vera Valentine. The two main romantic characters are Tana (a human apartment-dweller), and Drys (a demigod).
Unhinged is arguably the most popular book of Vera's career, so far. This strange, sensual journey into a deity's bastard who also happens to be architecture went viral on Tiktok, hitting #25 on the Amazon bestseller charts and spawning a hit Unhinged audiobook, voiced by Richard Pendragon (Drys) and Raven Wildewood (Tana). Vera's novella Well Bread is set in the same fantasy world.

Blurb: Someone’s been watching Tana closely, but he’s a lot closer than she realizes. From intimate moments to lazy afternoons on the couch, he’s secretly seen it all - and fallen for her along the way. The problem is that someone else is watching too, and his obsession with Tana is a lot more dangerous.
When a man claiming to be her front door enters her dreams to warn her about an imminent threat to her life, Tana initially chalks it up to her weird late-night snacks. But she rethinks things when her earnest visitor insists he’s also ready to protect her - in exchange for one hell of a favor.
When Tana trades her best line of defense for an unlikely supernatural ally, the threat lurking beyond her apartment hallway starts getting desperate as the law closes in. Can her inhuman companion save her from the worst of humanity, or is it too late for both of them?
