Trace was facing a showdown over the poker table, when she walked into the saloon..

She killed the zombie, chugged an Old Grand Dad and left. He followed her.

Why did she look so familiar? Then, he remembered the Wanted poster.

When he called her Red, she thought, it might be easier to shoot him now.

She tried to keep an emotional distance, but her posse kept growing at every stop she made.

Was she the only one of her kind? Was she a miracle?

Would she be their salvation or their curse?

  5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I gave this book five stars, because it was a total surprise. I thought – Zombies – Wild West – where can she go with this. And she took me on a ride through towns, prairies, hot and cold and everything you can think the Wild West would include. Except for the Zombies. A unique read and I am always happy to come across a book that surprises me and takes me off on a new and different adventure.

This was a quick read. Gripping from the first pages. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. Didn’t even want to write this review. I wanted to go right into the next book. But, I have found, when I do that, I end up totally confused when it comes time to write the review. So I will do this first, then, you better believe I will be grabbing my Kindle and reading Survivor Roundup, The Zombie West Series #2. So be sure and come back for the next review.

Read like a real Western, except for the Zombies. My dad always loved Westerns. And when I was younger, there weren’t all the TV channels you have today. So I read a lot of his books and watched The Rifleman, Bonanza, Maverick, Cheyenne, Gene Autry, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel…….Too many to name. When I remember them, I have fond memories of my dad. So, thank you Angela, for bringing those memories back to me.

Even though it was an arc, it was well written and flowed smoothly. I raced through the pages, not knowing what would happen to Red. It is rare for me to find a book so full of surprises and that rates very high with me. There is plenty of gore, slashing and ripping, biting and munching. The blood flies along with the body parts.

And Romance, plenty of that too. Even though Red tries to avoid it, Trace won’t give up on her. As her posse grows, so does her love for them.

I won a signed, first edition, paperback Arc of Wanted: Dead Or Undead, The Zombie West Series #1 by Angela Scott, back in December and she signed it “Babies are super cute – until they want to eat you.” How cool is that? I had to make it the title to my post, it was too good to pass up and every time I look at it, I get a big grin on my face and laugh quietly.

Then, in April, I won Survivor Roundup, Book 2. The books were screaming at me to be read. I am so glad I won Book 2, because I wanted to start reading it as soon as I finished with Wanted: Dead or Undead. So I can. And you can too. Dead Plains, Book 3, is due out this fall.

Be sure and read the author bio. I love learning about the authors of the books I read and oftentimes find them as entertaining as the books themselves. Like a super short story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    I hear voices. Tiny fictional people sit on my shoulders and whisper their stories in my ear. Instead of medicating myself, I decided to pick up a pen, write down everything those voices tell me, and turn it into a book. I’m not crazy. I’m an author.

For the most part, I write contemporary Young Adult novels. However, through a writing exercise that spiraled out of control, I found myself writing about zombies terrorizing the Wild Wild West—and loving it. My zombies don’t sparkle, and they definitely don’t cuddle. At least, I wouldn’t suggest it.

I live on the benches of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with two lovely children, one teenager, and a very patient husband. I graduated from Utah State University with a B.A. degree in English, not because of my love for the written word, but because it was the only major that didn’t require math. I can’t spell, and grammar is my arch nemesis. But they gave me the degree, and there are no take backs.

As a child, I never sucked on a pacifier; I chewed on a pencil. I’ve been writing that long. It has only been the past few years that I’ve pursued it professionally, forged relationships with other like-minded individuals, and determined to make a career out of it.
