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

<< Intrusive Thoughts - Natalie Jane >>

When he began again, his voice was low and oddly detached, "I met her when she was still living in the Eastern territories. And…followed when she ran here, to London. After that, I lost her for a time. She was good at hiding. She kept you safe, away from him for six years."

"He didn't like that she ran from him. I think - in his way, he did love her. And she loved him, or at least, she did at first. But when I found her, I told her everything, and then she started to notice that something wasn't right, that there was something, off."

"Still, she stayed. I think that - maybe she thought he would change for her, that he'd stop what he was trying to do. But in the end, all he really cared about was creating a Dhampir." Love's hand twitched and her finger began to tap against the armrest of the chair.
