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 saves the life of Caleb and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing. 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?

Plot: 50 points
This is the first paranormal book I picked up in about 3 years (the first and only other was the Twilight Series), and the plot was so good that I started reading again!!! It welcomed me into the world of paranormal with open arms! I loved the imprinting idea, I loved the powers of the Aces, and I loved the love! The mutualizing...**swoon** so cute! Great going Crane!!!
Characters: 15 points
The characters were all really great! Caleb was sweet as pie (and hot!!!), Maggie was as well, Kyle was a great asset to all of the books, and both families were a hoot! The relationship between everyone in the book felt so real because of the emotional writing that was done to perfection!
Names of characters: 4 points
Honestly, the only name I didn’t really care for was Maggie. Caleb wouldn’t have been my choice “sexy main character” name (I would have even liked Kyle better) either, but it wasn’t so bad. So I would have chosen different names for the main characters, although it didn’t distract me from liking the book, so only a 1 point deduction.
Writing/Depth: 30 points
All I can say is, “Go Shelly!” One of my top 2 writers of all time! She’s so great about keeping suspense going while giving you hints along the way to chew on, and the romantic scenes were written PERFECTLY. I loved the clean way she wrote them. All the emotionally filled scenes felt totally real and yet magically paranormal all at the same time. I could not put these books down!
PS: There is a Significance movie coming out in 2014! :D
TOTAL: 99 POINTS!
