I really enjoyed Oram's Being Jamie Baker and was excited to read her new book. Oram has a great voice and her stories move along in a delightful way. Serial Hottie gets extra points for being totally original, the premise is kind of strange, but it works. The heroine Ellie is sassy and adorable. However, I'm not sure what I thought about the "hottie" Seth, he is kind of a crazy, overprotective love interest. Yet, throughout the book, his nutso actions are not ignored by other characters, especially Ellie so Oram makes it work (in the context of the book). Although I have to say for my own sake that girls should NOT date boys like Seth, go out and find another less crazy boy to love and life will be much easier I promise you!
BOOK BLURB:
Hockey-obsessed tomboy
Eleanor Westley has never been the object of a guy's affection before.
So when the hottest boy she's ever seen moves in across the street and
starts treating her like she's the center of his universe, naturally
she's going to be a little skeptical. But everything starts to make
sense when girls who look just like Ellie start dying all around the
city. Obviously the new guy is the killer, and of course he only likes
her because he wants to slice her into tiny pieces. Right? The more
Ellie gets to know Seth the more she's convinced he's a psychopathic
killer. Problem is, he's the sweetest psychopathic killer she's ever
met. Not to mention he's brutally hot. No matter how hard she tries, she
can't help but fall for him. Will Ellie find true love, or will her
summer of firsts turn out to be a summer of lasts?
I also enjoyed the bonus material with a few snippets from Seth's POV, although it did not make him seem less nuts to me.
Both Serial Hottie and Being Jamie Baker are available for your Kindle for a great price. You can check them both out HERE.
