Being Jamie Baker (Jamie Baker Trilogy #1) By Kelly Oram



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?



Being Jamie Baker is the first book in the Trilogy. She has electrical powers which means anything electrical, she can gain power from it. She has super-hearing, super-sight and super-strength. 

Jamie was in a car accident that led her to being electrocuted and covered in a toxic substance. It's how she ended up with these powers. 

Since then she's suffered with a secret and the pain of knowing she could hurt anyone with a simple emotional break. Because her powers feed from them. So whenever she's upset, angry or temperamental, they explode everything around her. 
Her parents have his her powers knowing if she were found out, they'd want to experiment on her. 
But then Ryan, the school hottie and popular boy in school shows her interest. Granted, the first time he speaks to her is because of a bet. 
But keeping her secret when she's around him is hard. Her body reacts to him which in return, reacts to her powers. 
He finds everything about her intriguing and when he finds out about her powers, he goes out of his way to help her control him. I liked that about him. He didn't freak or run off telling people. He just wanted to help and Jamie, with all her faults and quirks, really does give the poor lad a hard time. 

The story was good and although it took me awhile to get in to, I enjoyed the story line. I couldn't wait to read the second novel.
