Title: More Than Jamie Baker

Series: Jamie Baker , #2

Author: Kelly Oram

Published: October 15, 2013

Jamie Baker, the only girl in the world with superpowers, has now accepted who she is and learned to control her power. Not to mention she has the best boyfriend on the planet. Life is finally looking good. But the day she witnesses an accident and decides not to save the guy out of fear of being exposed, she realizes that simply being Jamie Baker isn't enough.
After seeing Jamie so wrecked with guilt, the ever-helpful Ryan Miller decides it's time to make all of his fantasies about turning his girlfriend into an honest-to-goodness superhero become a reality.

Of course, coming up with a decent Super Name and fending off all of Ryan's attempts to get her into spandex aren't the only problems Jamie faces. The more her alter ego starts to make headlines, the harder it becomes for Jamie to hide her extracurricular activities from her best friend, the government, radical scientists, and the mysterious new guy who is determined to steal her from her boyfriend.

Okay! This is probably one of my most favorite series now. This book has an over flowing jam-packed-superhero-power-twist-and-action rolled into one. The only thing I don't like about this book is it is a DAMN CLIFFHANGER!!! Argh! Seriously?? 2014, what month exactly?? Kelly was trying to kill me. And I'm seriously dying to know what will happen next! Argh!

So this book was sitting in my reader in just one day. And as soon as I finished reading the Iron Fey series (including the mini sequels) I grabbed my reader and decided to start with it right at that moment. And I haven't had a luck in putting it down. I was totally consumed by it.

The story started as light, but as the story continues, the setting sets to be more interesting. I admit there are moments that I find Ryan as an annoying boyfriend, I was laughing out loud when he was insisting Jamie to be a super hero, hahhahha! He was so eager about it. But he was totally a lovable BF for me. There are times the love story was all too cheesy for me. And I sometimes caught myslef murmuring.. "Okay that was too cheesy", but there are moments, I say.. "Ahhh.. that was so romantic." So yeah, I do not know if I am a fun of the romance here but after the damn cliffhanger? I was wondering what will happen to Ryan and Jamie love story. It was like I wanted to hit my head on the wall and ask myself... WHY ON HELL DID I READ IT WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE THIRD BOOK TO COME OUT? And now, I need to wait for I do not know how long. *Sigh* Enough! I am blubbing now for so long about the cliffhanger thing. Sorry about that. So, as for Jamie, I was so happy how she changed into a loving and caring person after being the ICE QUEEN . She might still have a lot of temper, but she's definitely learning to control it. I love how the author manage not to make the protagonist way so perfect. She has her flaws. And I like it so much that I started to idolize her in some way. I was just so torn on how it turns out in the end. I mean, I never see it coming, the ending suprised me a lot that my toes are curling with anticipation. But I can't think of any other way to end this book. So, YES, as much as it is hard for me to say this, the ending was great. A great way to end it infact if you will ask me.

The love triangle, I am really eager to share this. I was actually caught off guard when I learned some things about Teddy. I actually took the love triangle lightly because I was actually picturing Teddy's love for Jamie as an infatuation kind of love. Because admit it, Jamie sees him as brother. And I never considered him as threat, but an ally. Guess I was wrong? Hahahhahha. I don't want to be a spoiler in here, but I definitely can't contain how much dissapointed I was of Teddy. I thought he has such a potential of being a great side kick but guess I was wrong. So there! It makes me more than eager to read the third sequel. I am really considering a lot of scenario on what will happen in the next book. It was definitely one of my most anticipated books for this year!

LOVE THIS! ^^,

Title: Being Jamie Baker

Series: Jamie Baker , #1

Author: Kelly Oram

Published: June 14, 2010

An accident that should end in tragedy instead gives seventeen-year-old Jamie Baker a slew of uncontrollable superhuman abilities. To keep her secret safe Jamie socially exiles herself, earning the title of Rocklin High's resident ice queen. But during a supercharged encounter with star quarterback Ryan Miller she literally kisses anonymity goodbye. Now the annoyingly irresistible Ryan will stop at nothing to melt the heart of the ice queen and find out what makes her so special. Unfortunately, Ryan is not the only person on to her secret. Will Jamie learn to contain her unstable powers before being discovered by the media or turned into a government lab rat? More importantly, can she throw Ryan Miller off her trail before falling in love with him?

“Most superhero stories start with a meteor shower or a nasty insect bite, but mine actually starts with a kiss. Whether it was a kiss of life or a kiss of death I still haven’t decided, but it was, surprisingly, a really good kiss. Not that I’d ever tell him that.”

This book is amazingly good!!! I enjoyed every minute of reading this, and maybe that explains how I finished it in short span of time. But no kidding though I was really fascinated on how the story flowed.

I was used to reading a superhero kind of book. And this was the first that a woman was actually the ones who have the power. It was mostly guys right? Hahhaha. Anyway, the story was lot to take in, I was glad I was able to find an ebook copy for this. So i think i was really lucky enough! Jeez. I can't stop blubbing! Hahahah!

Anyway, When I started reading this, I was really puzzled about the "ice-queen"herself. I mean come on! Spill it out! How did it happen? An accidental superpowers? I wasn't able to get a grip with it so I read it, and read it, not realizing I was almost done with it. So yes! That is how good really this book is. ^^,

For the character. I loved Jamie. In fact I fell in love with her the moment I started reading this. I pity her for what she had gone through. But I also envy her for the courage she got to stand up to others. And be what she wanted to be. As for Ryan, oh well what can I say, he was really a charmer. And I can never blame why Jamie, the ice-queen, fell in love with the the moment she kissed him.

Hahhaha! Anyway, this is definitely a good book. Can't wait for the next sequel!!!!
