Mid Month Mayhem! Day Zero-Cargill

This was the book that tied with Last Month's Sci-Fi...

Adorable fluffy death bot at your service. I'm putting this here as an option and can recommend the audible version. The narration is excellent and makes for a good road trip.

Lots of fighting as well as insane cuteness.
