Review of Significance by Shelly Crane
I'm wanting to expand some so that I have more to write about than just my beloved GWS. Wednesdays, being the middle of the week, seem like a good time to do so.
So I'm going to try and review some of the books I've been reading
Significance (Significance #1)
by Shelly Crane (Goodreads Author)
Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who's had a bad year. She was smart and on track but then her mom left, her dad is depressed, she's graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football scholarship. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has.
Then she meets Caleb. She saves his life and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing but she is supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. But things change when they touch, sparks ignite. Literally.
They imprint with each other and she sees their future life together flash before her eyes. She learns that not only is she his soul mate, and can feel his heartbeat in her chest, but there is a whole other world of people with gifts and abilities that she never knew existed. She herself is experiencing supernatural changes unlike anything she's ever felt before and she needs the touch of his skin to survive.
Now, not only has her dad come out of his depression to be a father again, and a pain as well, but Caleb's enemies know he's imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities and take her from him.
Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

My thoughts:

| 5 out of 5 Paws |
This is the first book by Shelly Crane I have read, but it will not be the last. I absolutely love the characters! There are people you fall in love with, and people you love to hate. Caleb isn't human, but he isn't something we've heard of before. Shelly has created an entire race of beings that are unique to our world, yet similar enough to some of our traditional fantasies that they seem like a distant memory of a fairy tell heard long ago.
Imagine walking around minding your own business, only to have your entire life turned upside down and inside out in a matter of seconds! Everything you know about the world around you is now different; as your reality melts away and a new one is created around you.
That is when the story starts and it just builds from there. When you read this, be sure to have book 2,
Accordance ready to go, because you will want to move directly into it.
