Every summer after graduation, the seniors all join in for a game of "Panic". Only one person can walk away with the winning and this year, the pot is worth $67,000 dollars. Each is entering for their own reasons and will do anything to win from threats, text messages, bribery and working together and manipulating their team-mates. This year's contestants are Ray Hanarahn - whose older brother Luke won the game a few years ago , when he was the winner of the last challenge joust. Dodge - he is i ...more

Panic was an excellent read. each challenge in games were intense making my heart race every time. overall I give it a 3.5/5 stars.

I absolutely hated Nat. I though she was suspicious from the start,then when she made the deal with heather and then with dodge it just confirmed my suspicions and hatred towards her. I thought she was a coward and naive throughout the whole book. Now don't get me started on Nat and the challenges. my god was she useless! Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic! she did nothin Panic was an excellent read. each challenge in games were intense making my heart race every time. overall I give it a 3.5/5 stars.

I absolutely hated Nat. I though she was suspicious from the start,then when she made the deal with heather and then with dodge it just confirmed my suspicions and hatred towards her. I thought she was a coward and naive throughout the whole book. Now don't get me started on Nat and the challenges. my god was she useless! Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic! she did nothing. if anything she dragged heather down. when she was doing the tiger challenge I was like yes! this is the chance for Lauren to kill her off. but no that didn't happen. instead she just failed by a friggin second!. I didn't like how she used dodge. dodge allowing himself to be used by her made me not like his character much either. he was just too clouded by his stupid "love" for her that he just went along with whatever plan she came up with.

Now Bishop. ok I though there was something going on with Bishop at the beginning, on the second challenge when he didn't return heathers calls and just disappeared. my suspicions of him being a judge were slightly more confirmed when he didn't turn up to the haunted house challenge. I don't know, him being a judge wasn't really that surprising for me. I kept thinking that maybe Nat or even dodge may be a judge. (I don't know why). I didn't really like heather much either. for me she did have some bad ass movement like when she was talking to Mike. I liked her attitude change after she left home and when she finally realised why she went into the games and who she is playing for. overall though I didn't really love or get to attached to any of the characters. for me it was the way it was written and the challenges in Panic that got me hooked.

I was satisfied by the epilogue. though it would have been better if we could have found out what happened to Ray (if he made it out of the car) or what happened to the tiger. it was nice seeing that heather and Bishop were finally together. (I cant believe it took the bloody whole book for them to say 'I love you').

so yeah still an enjoyable read. it is addictive considering the characters for me were boring. I rate it 3.5/5

That is all. ...more

Summary : Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she ...more

I really want to like this author. I read Before I Fall and I just didn't love it as much as other people. But this one sounded right up my alley, and it has one of my favorite covers ever, so I've had it on my list for a while. But for some reason, I just didn't love this one, either. It had a lot of things I like--realistic teenagers, grittiness, poverty, real issues. But the plot-heavy treatment didn't allow for a lot of exploration of those issues. Plus, I despised pretty much every characte ...more
