Light Leech

Toothsucker #3

by Kaden Love

Enter the Neurocore.

After surviving yet another conspiracy, the Imps have returned from Arabasia to meet a new threat back in the Republic.

Assassins seek to strike the Imps at every opportunity, possessing an odd power reminiscent of the Gui. Rather than succumb to their hunters, Ralia takes the lead to dive deeper into the neuronet than ever before to find the origin of their assailants.

Meanwhile, Naoma and Petya discover a hidden network of Violet elites that might expose another beacon of the rising Gongtide. Using her previous connections and half-burned bridges, Naoma introduces Petya to a work of conspiring celebrities and a mysterious emperor at their head.

With the Luxists at their side, the Imps are facing their greatest threats yet. As the tide grows, they will give everything they have to see its defeat, no matter the tragedy it will cost.

Best novel I have ever written. I dare say it is the best cyberpunk novel about Tooth-eating vampires out there.

I can not believe how good this book is and how lucky I am to be able to read this. These imps have become so special to me and some of my favorite characters ever written. The growth all the characters continue to have is crazy from book 1 to 3. No one can write a relatable character like Kaden can. The relationship between our characters feels so genuine and real its almost hard to believe these are fictional characters. This book had the single greatest chapter I have ever read. The settings we get in this book are described so vividly and paint such a clear picture it makes me wish we could live in this crazy beautiful world. When you get to neurocore i have never been able to invision a place so perfectly before. There is so much happening story wise to take in that it is so difficult to put the book down. I love that we get a card game introduced and I hope it comes back! (would love to be able to buy some) For the entirety of this book I was on the edge of my seat not able to get enough. I feel like we are just scratching the surface with the story and the lore and I hope we get an infinite number of more books. There is a scene near the end that completely wrecked me and had tears in my eyes and left staring at the wall. I need everyone on planet earth to read this book because Kaden Love is the face of sci-fi, cyberpunk and deserves all his flowers for this series. If you are a lover of cyberpunk, vampires, sci-fi, and anime this is a must read. He has crafted such an amazing world, and it will take you on a journey as you read it.

I have really enjoyed the Toothsucker books leading up to this one, but Light Leech really expanded the world for me. I was laughing, crying, screaming, so many emotions. This is hands down his best yet and I was enthralled at every chapter. You won’t want to miss this!

This is the series that just keeps on giving. Kaden Love is back with the latest release in his iconic Toothsucker series, Light Leech. Light Leech brings more of the fun, craziness and social commentary that you should come to expect from the series. It's also been cool to see Kaden continuing to grow as an author, with a story that has tight pacing, great characters and is an all around great time.

If you enjoyed Toothsucker and Chromatic Creep, you know you're in for a good time with Light Leech.
