I read this to complete a reading challenge (read a book in a genre that you don't usually read). It was fine but I think there is a reason I don't read usually read Westerns. The "outlaws" botched capers were somewhat funny but the characters were shallow and I never really felt invested in their fate. ( )

Unwanted: Dead or Alive
Buck and Dobie, Book 1
By: Gene Shelton
Narrated by: Jon Wilkins
This is not a book I would normally read, neither of the main characters are paranormal or supernatural beings, lol. I thought I would try something out of my comfort zone, I tried. It was a good story. These two guys just can't get a break. They get accused of everything illegal and get drafted into doing things worse to get out that trouble. It just continues to snowball! They have the worse luck!
I didn't find the audible very clear at times, a bit scratchy sounding at times. The narrator has a deep but not clear voice. A gruff and gravelly voice a at times it was hard to understand. I can understand why they wanted the old cowboy-type voice but with the recording not clear all the time, it made it difficult to hear words clearly.
I did enjoy the story regardless even if no one turned into a werewolf! Lol ( )

Pleasant enjoyable read. Atmospheric writing, I keep pulling my blanket higher to ward off the freezing cold. Different, amusing western. Storyline kept me hooked to see what happened to the hapless pair. Would definitely buy another book in this series. ( )
