Accordance (Significance, #2) by Shelly Crane



Published: September 15th, 2011

Accordance (A significance Novel, Book 2) has the power to seduce. This is once again, another fantastic book I couldn't put down.


Destiny- the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events The power of agency that determines the course of events.

I love that the author didn't waste time covering events from Significance, Book #1. You don't need it because Significance is one of those books you just don't forget.

The evil plotting Marcus is back and he wants to know what Maggie's ability is so he can get in good graces with his uncle, Sikes.

“Because then I'll tell you why Sikes is so upset about you and lover boy ascending. It's not just jealousy because the Jabobsons are imprinting. There's a prophecy.”

My only complaint is that Kyle meets a girl with the name of Amber. By her description, perhaps her name should have been Vivian (Pretty Woman)

Maggie is unaware that her full power has not ascended yet. When she comes across a leather-bound book of the Jacobson family line, Maggie's fate was sealed, it was inelectable. What Maggie sees would be hard for any young woman. She recently was destined to be Caleb's Significant and her life has changed dramatically. With all of this new knowledge, she bears the weight of their kind's future on her shoulders.

Caleb is once again, more than amazing. He's a guy with loyalty and integrity. He is her rock, her stability.

In this addition, Sikes is after something important that only Maggie can provide for him. Little does he know a member of his clan has other plans. Bish and Kyle add to Maggie's tension and the truth of what's going on weighs heavily on her shoulders. There's new budding romances and there's twists and turns that you won't see coming. And let me tell you, the ending will make your jaw drop!

When I think about this story I get all fan-girl excited! If you are looking for a love story with some major chemistry, action and suspense...this is for you! I highly recommend this!

5/5 Snowflakes

Significance (Sagnificance, #1) by Shelly Crane

Published: 2011



Significance blew me away. I am a huge fan of Maggie and Caleb. They now, are one of my most favorite couples. There was such a beautiful connection between them, I didn't want their story to end. I actually tried to savor the last 100 pages and not devour them. This book is easily one that you can read really fast because it's that good.

Maggie Masters spent the the last year raising herself. Her mom took off and left Maggie and her father alone. Her father became catatonic. He was there, but wasn't there. I immediately could picture and feel her sadness and her feelings of loneliness. My heart sank deep just imagining what she went through. Maggie just wanted to get through her senior year. After her graduation her friend Kyle Jacobson asked her to go for something to do. See, Kyle has had a crush on Maggie for like, forever. Little does he know, Maggie doesn't feel the same way. She needed to get out and get fresh air so she goes for a walk and this is when her life changes forever.

Do you believe in fate? Perhaps that's exactly what it was when Maggie saved Caleb's life after pulling him back off the road and nearly missed being hit by a truck, turns out, he's Kyles cousin. I don't mind instant chemistry as long as it isn't over the top. This one, was well played out and had me curling my toes up with giddiness. Caleb instantly won me over.

“She's the one.” “We don't get to choose.”

Do you believe in soul mate's? The moment Maggie and Caleb shook hands, their fate was sealed. Flashes of happy times with him came rushing into her mind, she could feel his heart beating, his happiness. “Because you are my significant, my soul mate, and I'm yours we imprinted with each other” --Swoon-- “It usually doesn't happen when we're this young. And it hasn't been happening at all with the families.” The Jacobson's are special, they are Virtuoso, or Charmed. They call themselves Aces. They have abilities once they reach a certain age after they imprint. I seriously LOVED Caleb, he's such a Romeo. Talk about a character that just makes you melt!

Maggie and Caleb form an instant connection once they imprint on one another. It was fascinating to see their new relationship develop so quickly. It was written so it didn't feel rushed really though. It was perfect. There was a sense of protection and a need to make her happy that made Caleb's character more appealing. Imprinting hasn't been happening for a while now and the clan's have been concerned about it, so when Caleb and Maggie imprinted, not only was it exciting, but it is very rare to imprint with a human.

Once other clan's found out about it, (one clan specifically) Maggie and Caleb became a target. They don't want them to Ascend. Which is when they grow and gain their full ability. The events that took place once the bad clan (that's just what I call them) come into the picture were suspenseful and contained enough action that I really didn't want to put the book down. I HAD to keep reading and find out what happened next to Maggie and Caleb. There were some pretty amazing things that happen throughout this story that you really should just experience this for yourself.

“He had just imprinted with the girl he wanted more than any other, the girl who had saved his life, the girl he thought he'd never have. She was his.”

I loved the characters, good and bad. Sure, I wanted to smack the smirk off Marcus's face, and punch his uncle in the kahuna's for being such an evil ass, but what it boils down to is that they were all fantastic and were played so well. I just adored little Maria, Caleb's niece. She was so cute and who couldn't relate to an open-mouth honesty a little child provides LOL. And, I cannot forget Caleb's parents. I thought they were magnificent and so cute together.

It's so easy to be swept away into this amazing story. I am gushing over this book. I would like to thank Shelly Crane for the opportunity to read this awesome story. I can't wait to read the next book, Accordance(Significance, #2).
