Blurb from Goodreads
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.
Although it’s been a while since I read her story, it wasn’t hard for me to connect with her again. It was like my mind instantly remembered her and I didn’t have to skim book 1 just to refresh my memory and understand her story in the first place, the thing I sometimes need to do with a series. She’s still witty, sarcastic, independent, temperamental and funny. She’s still the Jamie Baker I knew from book 1. And so does Ryan and other characters. I loved that they are still who they are. A year didn’t turn them to characters I didn’t know.
However, I also kinda wish that Jamie is more careful with her superpower and aware of the consequences of her action now. What she does in first half of book was quite unbelievable and frustrating me. I do understand her feeling but I just think she’s not careful enough to keep her superpower secret. She doesn’t lay low enough, though she keeps herself in disguise.
And talk about what most of reviewers talk, the ending. As much as it has an interesting and surprising epilogue, I think I can say that it didn’t surprise me much. I was practically waiting for it to come
. And knowing that Jamie fall to the trap easily makes me sort of blame it to herself. But don’t worry Jamie, I’ll still read the sequel because the epilogue makes me even more want to know your story.
