Frigid horror freezes the beginning of the week but gives way to two sci-fi novels. Though, one requires you to be up to date on your spy craft while the other features a cyborg dog with a smart mouth. There’s fantastical heat and magic happening deep in rural South Dakota and black romance is in the air as much as aromanticism. Is it possible to be romantic when aromantic?
