Redemption

The Becoming #5

by Jessica Meigs

When Woodside fell, Remy and her companions barely escaped. Now they’re scrambling to recover their shattered lives and find a new place to call home. But their friend Brandt Evans is still missing.

Desperate to recover Brandt from the military’s grasp, Remy and her friends set out on a mission to find him–or die trying. Their search takes them back into the heart of Atlanta. What they find there are the seeds of a betrayal they didn’t expect and a world wholly different than what it had been when the Michaluk Virus struck. With the entire world turned on its head, the group finds themselves dealing with the biggest challenge of their lives.

In this exciting conclusion to The Becoming Series, the survivors of Woodside navigate birth, death, and everything in between as they fight against impossible odds.

About the author

Jessica Meigs is the author of The Becoming, a post-apocalyptic thriller series that follows a group of people trying to survive a massive viral outbreak in the southeastern United States. After gaining notoriety for having written the first two books in the series on a variety of BlackBerry smartphones, she self-published two novellas that now make up part of the first book in the series. In April 2011, she accepted a deal with Permuted Press to publish The Becoming as a series of novels. The first of the series, entitled The Becoming, was released in November 2011, and was named one of Barnes & Noble’s Best Zombie Fiction Releases of the Decade by reviewer Paul Goat Allen.

In 2019, Jessica began self-publishing again, this time exploring a new universe with The Unnaturals Series, in which a group of government-employed agents discover that the wheels of the Biblical apocalypse are in motion…and they’re the only ones who can stop it.

In late 2020, after obtaining the rights for the series back from the publisher, Jessica began reissuing The Becoming Series in revised and expanded editions. The new editions of the series are available now on all major ebook retailers.

Jessica lives in semi-obscurity in Demopolis, Alabama. When she’s not writing, she works full time as an editor, copyeditor, and proofreader. She can be found on a variety of social media platforms and on her website at www.jessicameigs.com.

[Rhiannon Frater · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jessica Meig's ends her series with a a solid landing. The final book wraps up the major character story arcs while delivering a nice little twist in the plot. Fans of the series should be satisfied, but will probably cling to the slight opening to a possible future installment.

The Becoming is definitely a solid zombie series that fans of the genre should gobble up.

Loved this whole series

Our pummeled group searches for the missing Brandt. Plenty of action and excitement to go around. Ultimately Cade has a baby girl named Olivia. Brandt and Cade return home to rejoin with new baby Olivia and begin their new life. Due to Ethan’s “condition”, he and Kimberly remain in the quarantined zone to look for survivors and eliminate infected. Sadie, with nowhere else to go, decides to stay with Ethan and Kimberly. Great conclusion to a fine series.

So the story is over and with a whimper rather than a bang.
I don't know why it was felt that this tied things up as for me it most certainly did not.
The ending was a non event and did not really give a proper conclusion - there could easily be more books and a much better ending.
Worth a read ...yes..satisfactory far from it.

I enjoyed the series. Ethan and Sadie should have more adventures. What happen to Olivia? What about Brandt and Cade? I think the series ended to soon.

A disappointing ending to what was a good series. It seems as if it was rushed in order to get it over with, so much so that lots of details were overlooked.

A great finish to the series.

I think this is actually my favourite book in this series. We dived right in to the story, and nothing was held back.
