It's a zombie book set in the 19th century and centered around an old west caravan trip. There is violence and killing. The gore is particularly explicit, but it's definitely there.greenlivingaudioworm's review against another edition

- Parts 1 and 2 feel like separate books. I think they should have been.
- The audiobook narrator for Katherine's POV (I'm sorry!!)
- Lots of repetitive language/phrases.
- Twists were not as twisty - a bit more predictable than the first book.
Things I liked:
- Having a Katherine POV - it made me understand and like the character more.
- Various LGBT reps!
- The ending! I thought things were wrapped up nicely, but not too neatly, which was right on point.
I don't think YA Hannah would have had qualms at all about this book. 5 stars from her 😂

This is the second and final book in the Dread Nation duology, which picks up right where the last book left off. This book hits the ground running and doesn't hold back on moments that will shock or hurt at all. It is a ride that I loved it. The characters all feel real when reading too. They have their wants and needs and they are all the same, but it doesn't mean they are against one another.
This time the book had dual prospectives of Jane and Katherine which is changed up from the first book. I really liked this change up at it felt like it gave the whole story better and also really lets us see the world that the girls are living in.
This was perfect to read during spooky season.
