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. 

Public Spotify playlist for Volume 1 is under the name: TLAR - Book 1

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

Several hours had passed and Ezra was still seated at his desk, staring at the wall of his office, his emerald green eyes, dull and lightless.

The stray thought that he had flinched away from during the time since she had left his office flitted across his mind and Ezra felt the corners of his eyes burn in discomfort.

"Ha, ha ha. I can't even cry anymore. I'm not human. She deserves someone who can cry for her. Someone warm. Someone who won't hurt her." He laughed in derision as he spoke aloud to the empty room, but a sudden alert to his commlink snapped him away from his thoughts.

He glanced down at the message blankly, and then his eyes widened in shock.

It was an alert he'd never seen before, stating that someone was overusing a VR pod and was at risk of cognitive damage.

"...Love." Ezra leapt up from his chair and bolted for the door.
