Synopsis
She only had two rules, the first one was to always double tap, make certain her pray was truly 100% dead and with not other unwanted resurrection. Her second rule: she traveled alone, safety in numbers and trusting others hadn't played well with her before and had no intention to try again.
He was content with his life, playing cards, collecting bounties, getting in trouble as little as possible and always having some money on his pockets. That was until she walked into the bar and killed a "walker" her red locks and pretty face catch him and following his gut he decided to follow her.
Now two strangers that only know each other by the nicknames they gave one another a fighting chance against this infested Zombie west.

Review
When this book started there was an air of mystery, the constant looking behind your back and a sense that the characters wouldn't make it to the end of the book. I loved that.
Then the book shifted it's focus, there where bigger fish to fry the past of Red and Cowboy where being less of a mystery and they both became more and more human as the book progressed, it was a nice change of pace. 
Somewhere along the story I lost interest, somewhere along the paragraphs they lost me this book that had made me laugh, snickered and feel the joy of reading a book with cowboys suddenly didn't capture me. 
This story was fun to read, enjoyable, fun and captivating, until for some reason it lost me. 
I have to thank Angela Scott, before this book I hadn't really wondered about cowboys, they had been stereotyped by the covers with bare chested cowboys that probably held a damsel in their arms. Thank you Angela Scott for showing me that there is more to cowboys and the wild west in books then Romance Novels.
P.S. I like your version better.
