Significance

Significance Series # 1

De: Shelly Crane

Narrado por: Cris Dukehart

Maggie is a 17-year-old girl who's had a bad year. She was smart and on track, but 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's supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. 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, but Caleb's enemies know that Caleb is imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities.

Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

The first time Caleb and Maggs touch!

Any additional comments?

This is the very first book of the series. I had it in audiobook and I was addicted at the first listening.
 
Maggie is a naive 17 years old. I wish it was easy to describe her, but she is a complex girl. Her mom left her and her dad months ago, her dad is just a shell (Bella from twilight kind of shell) until she meets Caleb. They imprint. Sounds familiar? Yeah, well it is far from being the same than twilight if you are like me and you thought of that! It is way more complex and comes with so much more positive!
 
That particular book set the pace and mood for the series. Shelly is an incredibly talented writer and she proves it in this installment. Are you emotional while reading? If so, you will jump of happiness, smile with love, get angry at Marcus and maybe even Kyle! That one can be a pain in the arse sometimes!  Everything is well described, even the pain is excruciating, but this is a very good book that will bring out your emotions, and your wish to get to live that true love! Everything kind of happen so fast, but in the same time it feels perfect.
 
Some of the events are just easy to see coming, and some are just surprising, but my only question about that book, is why Max didn't teach more self-defense to Maggie after the first kidnapping attempt? I still have no answer, but if I get one, I'll let you know!  

A Favorite to listen to over & over

I love this author and reader/performer. I listen while in the car & when I can't sleep. The reader isn't tramatic but inserts the perfect amount of emotion.

Great start!

Great start to a series. Maggie and Caleb are so sweet and perfect for each other. On to the next one.

Love Significance Series

OMG! So much better then Twilight. The storyline is magnificent.Creative. Characters you love. I love the idea of a Significant. Ahh I’m literally in Heaven. And in awe of such an awesome unique storyline

Overwhelmingly Heartwarming

I finished reading all of the series published and immediately purchased the audio to listen to on our 9 hour car ride. Maggie and Caleb have the best soul mate story I have read in a very long time! The narration was great. Her voice is pleasing to listen to.

Solid until towards end

This is a pretty solid, enjoyable story until the nonsensical events towards the end. It's pretty clean. The main characters are likeable, and have values which is nice. The bad guys are truly bad, and everyone is in love with the heroine. Okay, that lat part is a bit of an eye roll, but it's kind of fun, too. The part that irks me is that seriously serious events conspire with the bad guys, and the hero and his family just scold them and let them walk away. It was ridiculous. It made NO SENSE.

5 stars

This is an awesome story that sucks you in and keeps you hooked. Even thought Maggie is 17 the book doesn’t come off super childish, although she is inexperienced she is smart and realistic. Definitely ends uncompleted, but I’m excited to get the next book.

The sweet romance

I really loved the sweet romance. This is such a lovely story & makes you swoon.
