Panic Snap
by
Laura Reese
Her first novel, Topping from Below, was a cause celebre of erotic fiction. Now, in Panic Snap, Laura Reese once again crosses the boundary between pleasure and pain with a story of extreme sexual obsession and one family's terrible secret.

Poorly written and just plain disturbing. I got the sense right away there would be some kink, and quite possibly some BDSM gone wrong. I am not so into BDSM, but I was curious about the amnesia and mystery Carly was trying to solve. This description on the back cover advertised mystery with a kinky twist. Very quickly I realized this was just smut. Not really erotica because I personally don't find a guy abusing a girl under the guise of BDSM as erotic. My limited understanding of BDSM is that...more
There was something about Panic Snap that seemed vaguely familiar. And, by "vaguely", I mean extremely familiar. Almost like I read the exact same thing before. Then I remembered, it was called Topping From Below and I finished reading it a few days ago.
It was very similar: the protagonist, a supposedly strong willed modern woman, is on a mission of revenge to find out the truth about the murder that closely affected her. In Panic Snap, it was the protagonist own attempted murder that occured 15...more

Wow - what an unusual book... I had a love/hate relationship with it (not unlike the main characters' relationship :) )... I must admit that i am NOT a fan of dark erotica, but other than that - the plot was really interesting and suspensful... This is the first book I read by this author and the beginning sucked me in! Up until a half way through the book, I kept thinking "5*, 5*, 5*" and then all the nastiness began, along with the mystery kind of going downhill...
The sex stuff though - gross!...more

While this story is based around a couple in a BDSM relationship it is also very much a mystery... a "who done it" story. I really liked this book. The writing was good, the story was interesting and kept you wanting to read. The only problem I had was that there was a lot of descriptive detail throughout the book, especially in the beginning. I like to have the setting described for me but not so much that my attention starts to drift elsewhere. And some of the descriptions were repetitive. For...more
At age seventeen, Carly Tyler was found severely beaten and left for dead in a field outside of Davis, California. She emerged from a coma with no memories of her past, including who tried to kill her. Carly’s facial injuries were so extreme that doctors had to rebuild her face, and as a result she looked like a completely different person. When no family or friends come forward to claim her, she is forced to move on with her life always wondering who she really is and what happened to her.

I think this book received a lot of bad reviews because it's a bit of a stomach turner, it's not for everyone. If some hard core stuff doesn't bother you then it is actually a great book. I thought the writing was good and from the beginning of the book I wanted to finish it so I could figure out the end. The end had a great twist I didn't see coming and definitely ended a little differently than most books which I enjoyed. Overall I enjoyed it and I'm excited to read Laura Reese's other book.
DNF. There are some things that are so disturbing that you shouldn't let them pollute your brain. This is one of them. WTF. I've read and enjoyed some pretty risky bdsm erotica books. This is absolutely not enjoyable. There was nothing sexy about the sick control he had over her, the things he did and the things he wanted her to do. I very rarely quit reading a book, but I simply could not finish this without making myself sick.
Overall I think this book was written very poorly. I enjoyed the plot of the story but I would have liked to dive deeper into it. It seemed as if the author was more focused on including as much erotic scenes in as she possibly could. So much in fact that it 100% overpowered the plot. This book had the potential to be really good, the characters were interesting and the story was good but it was ruined by too much erotica. I was actually a bit shocked at the extent of it. This is not a book for...more
This book was absolutely gross. I hated how the author would get you going and then all of a sudden something vile and disgusting happens. This book is a total tease and many parts of the book made me want to vomit. I would not recommend reading this book if you are easily grossed out. In fact, I wouldn't recommend this book at all.
For all those of you who are reading 50 shades of grey and are turned on by the kink, this book is MUCH racier and actually has an interesting mystery and good writing too.
If you like reading about BDSM than this is the book for you. I didn't really like the mystery much I found it pretty predictable.
Not nearly as good as her first novel, Topping From Below, and far too similar. Still, an entertaining read within the genre.
Horrible book. Very vile and disgusting. Let's just say I never want a man like James McGuane. Gross.....
Absolutely horrible!! I am kinda upset I wasted my time and money trying to read this book!
Another spicy and amazing book you must check out if you enjoyed the 50 Shades of Grey series.
It was a very good story. A little red in the face at times, but a very good story.
Interesting in the BDSM category but frustrated by the ending.
“Topping from Below" was much better than this one.
Bookray
This second book is nowhere near as good as the first, in my opinion. It had potential, but never really got off the ground. The only really in-depth analysis, rather than being of the characters or their psychological motivations perhaps, were technical descriptions of procedures which frankly I could live without knowing that much about. I failed to recognize any redeeming features in the hero, and pure sadism palls pretty quickly, I think. I'm glad to have read it as I would have other...more

Terrible!!!!
What can I say about this book?...it was dirty, raunchy, full of S&M explicit sex acts, with an underlying mystery plot. I'd be embarrassed to recommend this book because it should be in the pornography section! LOL
Not really worth reading unless you are curious! This book has been passed around my friends who just wanted it out of their house, but said "you gotta read this and tell me what you think!" hahaha...I am ashamed to say that I passed it on to my parents!!! LOL

When I started reading this, I was hoping for some steamy, kinkiness but the characters did nothing for me. They were all unlikable and boring. I just couldn't get into the story or the characters.
I liked "Topping from Below" much better than this one. This one just didn't do it for me.
3.5.
Much better then topping from below. At least there no animal fucker this time.

The mystery isn't as good, but the sex is just as hot in this follow up to "Topping from Below"
