In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger.
As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought, and that humanity may not be the side that she should be fighting for.
Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. 

This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and world building, everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! 
I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

This is rated 'No one under 17 permitted' for (very) mature themes, including drug use, assault, discrimination against same sex couples, language, violence etc.
Please note that no storyline is chosen for shock value, and most are taken from personal experience, and hopefully handled with the care, respect and sensitivity they deserve.
Disclaimers are added against any chapter that may cause distress. 

The main couple is a man and woman but there are also LGBTQ+ characters and relationships spread throughout, hope you enjoy!

To Love A River

Chapter 18. "Who is this person?"

<< Little Lover's So Polite - Silversun Pickups >>

Seven years into the Last War, a widespread recruitment effort swept through the country as the conflict escalated throughout the world.

It was at one such recruitment drive for civilians seeking a special designation, that Captain Taylor laid his eyes on a curious individual.

He was very tall, with dark ebony hair and a cheerful grin on his pale, absurdly handsome face.

Approaching his counter with slow and careful steps, Captain Taylor noticed that the civilian had curious almond-shaped eyes of a vivid emerald green, and appeared to radiate a strange sense of danger even as the cheerful grin remained.

The Captain gulped and looked away from those eyes to stare down at the list of application names, "Your name?" He asked, after clearing his throat in a nervous gesture.

"Umm, Ackerman?" The stranger replied hesitantly.
