Review
I liked Survivor Roundup a lot more then Wanted: Dead or Undead. Because of the part that made me lose interest but also we got to see more action and to know the characters not feeling like we sacrificed one for the other.
It is a pity that some of the questions left from the first book haven't been answered, even if it feels like they should have been answered on the first book. And in my humble opinion there isn't a real link between where the first story left and the second started or maybe Angela Scott was trying to do something poetic in the end of the first book and I just didn't get it, if you deed get it I would love to hear it.
Two things that feel like the wouldn't mix well now work perfectly in my mind thanks to Angela Scott and the Zombie West Series, I do believe you should check this series out, specially if you are int the marking for a taste of something different.

{Review} Wanted: Dead or Undead by Angela Scott

Series: The Zombie West Series #1

Publication Date: March 30, 2012

Publisher: Evolved Publishing

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.
