BLURB
Survivor Roundup
Red always knew she would have to face the man who nearly destroyed her. She just didn't figure it would happen so soon . . .
With the plague sweeping across the nation, destroying many and turning others into walking corpses, survivors head West in search of a chosen land, a place designed to keep the infected out, while sealing survivors inside. In theory, the idea seems the only way to keep humanity alive. In practice, it doesn't matter whether a person is on the inside or the out-there is no humanity.
. . . And even though John Gatherum hunted her down and instigated their reunion, Red's no longer the passive girl he once manipulated. This time, she has a hidden agenda of her own.
Kill him. Save her family. Save herself.
MY REVIEW
Survivor Roundup
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I received a free copy of the book from the author for an honest review.
Red, Trace, Wen, Caroline, their new baby girl, Rivers, Fisher and Ira are all still living in the military fort. What few supplies that they have are dwindling away. If they are going to survive someone has to risk going outside the walls of the fort to face the zombies and bring back more. So Red and Trace volunteer to be the ones to go find more food for everyone.
They run into a whole world of trouble outside the walls. The zombies are not the only thing they have to worry about on the outside. Humans are their biggest problems. Red and Trace is kidnapped by some evil and cruel brothers. They end up separated from each other and Red thinks that Trace is dead.
In Survivor Roundup we have some new characters join us Aponi and her little brother Kitchi along with Nash one of her kidnappers. Red's brother Davis also joins them after he figures out what kind of person John Gatherum really is. John has been using Davis to lure Red into his lair only Davis did not know this. John will do anything he has to in order to get his hands on Red no matter who it may hurt or how many lies he has to tell.
Red has a plan she is tired of running and hiding from John so she is going to find him and kill him. Then she can go back to her "family" and not have to hide any more. She has to be quick about it or her "family" will not survive without her. Her "family" is waiting and depending on her to bring food back to them.
I love reading books or watching movies with zombies in them. I have been known to watch a few westerns like Lonesome Dove in my time too. But to have zombies and cowboys together in the same story is one extremely brilliant idea. I love it! Wouldn't you just love to see Trace on the big screen? I loved reading the first book WANTED: Dead or Undead in the Zombie West Series. I also love Survivor Roundup. And now I can't decide which one I liked the best. They were both so awesome.
I can't wait to find out more about Red, Trace and all the other characters in the next book Dead Plains which is not due to be published until summer 2013. I got a sneak peek at the first chapter at the end of Survivor Roundup. All I'm going to say about it is it will be another fantastical read. I sure am going to miss Red, Trace and everyone else. Summer is a long time to have to wait for the next book. I have so loved reading the Zombie West series and would like to say thanks Angela for writing it and giving me the opportunity to read it. Angela, you and the Zombie West series rock!
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.
You can find me at my website, where I blog obsessively about my writing process and post updates on my current works. I'm also on Twitter and Facebook, but be forewarned, I tweet and post more than a normal person.
