Remember Jamie Baker (Jamie Baker Trilogy #3) By Kelly Oram



Remember Jamie Baker is the explosive and long awaited conclusion to the Jamie Baker trilogy. With all the action of the best superhero science fiction and epic romance as only bestselling teen romance author Kelly Oram can write, this book will have you laughing, swooning, and wanting to save the world!

Plagued by memory loss, Jamie Baker searches high and low for the answers to who she is, where she comes from, and why she’s able to do things other humans can’t. A not-so-simple task when she’s hiding from the people responsible for her amnesia—an evil scientific research company that wants to capture her at any cost.

When Jamie’s quest for the truth reveals a devastating betrayal from the one person she thought she could trust, she’s forced to team up with a secret military organization in order to ensure her safety and stop Visticorp’s horrific human experimenting once and for all.


This has to be the best book of the Trilogy. It was like starting fresh with Jamie's new memory loss. Everything was new to her so it was starting all over again. 
Trouble is, she's been brainwashed from Teddy, who has made her believe she's called April O'neil and is on the run - which is fairly true. But he's made her think they were lovers, that they were engaged. 

It's horrible to think someone could do that to someone. And even after she learns the truth she still wants to help him. It's clear he's one of the bad guys but she doesn't listen. Ever. It actually drove me nuts. 

But seeing her interact with Ryan, fall in love all over again, was brilliant. He hadn't changed. Not one bit. And I think Jamie needed that. 

One thing that did change was the army they were working with to help Jamie and others like her. My favourite were the new people, the people Jamie saved. I loved their characters and hope Kelly Oram writes a book for them. 

This book is far more intense, more action and a lot more drama that will have you hooked from the beginning. I couldn't put it down. 

My favourite part had to me the end. OMG. I got so emotional I cried. A little girl who is in the book, who will not be named does something remarkable and knowing what it could have done to her, it broke my heart and warmed it at the same time. I fell in love with her and wished she was real so I could keep her. Too adorable and inspiring.

More than Jamie Baker (Jamie Baker Trilogy #2) By Kelly Oram



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.



Jamie has now moved to college with her new best friend and her boy friend. 
Here she meets Teddy, who from the start, I didn't particularly like. There was just something off about him. 
His quick obsession to Jamie just gave it away. 
But Jamie has more problems coming her way than little old Teddy. She has a radical bunch of scientists wanting to capture her, to experiment on her and she has to try and find a way to keep her powers hidden. 
She's also feeling guilt over not saving Ryan's best friend, the boy who raped her best friend. It's how she gets caught. By not doing anything, she gets caught. 

I can't give much away of the story since it will ruin it but it was more exciting than the first book and intrigued me a lot more. 
I found I wanted to know what was going to happen next and with Jamie, you never knew.

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.
