To Love A River

LouLou2
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. 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 the early world and character building, BUT 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 titles (all under the name LouLou): TLAR - Book 1 TLAR - Book 2 TLAR - Book 3 TLAR - A Fire in Their Wake This is rated 'No one under 17 permitted' for (very) mature themes, including drug use, SA, LGBTQ+ discrimination, very frequent strong language, violence etc. Please note that no storyline is chosen for shallow 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!

The Codex of Black Fire

The Codex of Black Fire In a secluded community in eastern Nigeria, a sinister darkness spreads—witches of ancient lineage have returned, their power growing with every soul they claim. Amid the whispers of cursed winds and burning shadows, Amarachi, a sacred vessel chosen by the gods, bears the burden of her people's survival. Bound by prophecy, she is the community's last hope—but her strength comes at the cost of love, freedom, and a future of her own. Enter Alaric Voss, a brilliant but emotionally scarred European scientist drawn to the village by reports of unexplained phenomena. Driven by both scientific curiosity and a need to escape his past, Alaric becomes entangled in forces far beyond logic. When he meets Amarachi, a mysterious, commanding woman with a fire in her eyes and secrets older than time, the boundary between science and the supernatural begins to blur. As ancient sigils burn and chemical weapons laced with magic are forged, Alaric and Amarachi must navigate a sensual spiritual bond that neither fully understands nor can resist. While he prepares for war guided by cryptic visions, she fights the pull of love, fearing it will unravel the sacred duty she was born to uphold. Together with Chima, Amarachi's once-promised protector and now loyal ally, they stand on the edge of a battle that could either purge the land of evil—or doom it forever. In The Codex of Black Fire, forbidden love, ancestral power, and scientific defiance collide in a tale where the heart and spirit must unite to overcome darkness.
