In 1867 Jett Gallatin disguises herself as a boy while searching for her twin brother. She joins forces with a handsome Buffalo scout and a female inventor to fight zombies threatening to take over the Wild West. The genre mashup is exciting and the world-building well done, but the characters are flat and the alternating points of view sometimes feel disjointed.
