Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to You
by Brian Rowe

Published December 2, 2012

This book was provided to us by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Newlyweds Cameron and Liesel Martin aren't able to celebrate their wedding bliss for long. Not only is Liesel unexpectedly pregnant... they're also facing the end of humanity!

Liesel's evil witch sister Hannah has cast a spell to make all humans on Earth age a whole year with every day. It's up to Cameron and Liesel to stop her... and save the world! Who will survive? And who will perish?

Here it is at last... the third and final epic chapter of the Birthday trilogy... Happy Birthday to You!

This was definitely my favorite book of the trilogy. I thought the plot was great (even though there were a few things that bugged me). There were a lot of twists that helped keep things interesting. I do have to say that at times I wondered if we were reading about the same character as in the first book, which was due in part to Cameron's growth as a character.

If you enjoyed the first two books in the trilogy, you won't want to miss this one.

3.5/5 stars
