This is not for the faint of heart. It goes way beyond what would be considered civilized. ( )

Het is mooi om te zien hoe spanningen stijgen alsook de spelletjes. Blijkbaar blijft het moeilijk om dit een mooi einde te geven, en blijf je bedroeft als je het boek dichtslaat. ( )

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 years prior to the story taken place. The result, besides from the coma and retrograde amnesia, was an entire new apperance where she could go and confront the gulity party incognito as it were.

Along the way, things do not go as planned and the gulity party finds out her true identity but it's okay because the gulity party will give her all the information she wants about past for absolute submission to him. Sadomaschism shenagians ensued.

It was amazing how both novels by Reese were so similar to one another. In fact, Panic Snap could have been called Topping from Below 2: Napa Valley. Seriously. Once again, it was well written and probably will make Lifetime a bunch of money one day when it becomes a Saturday night movie.

However, it was so gross! I am not just talking about the very graphic sex scenes (I will never look at the word 'jut' the same way again), I am talking about the S&M things. There were catherers and enema and breast pumps and lambs and eww! Something tells me Reese knew that both her stories were sounding a little too alike and wanted to push the envelope even more.

Just like with Topping From Below, she went way too far and maybe that is what she meant to do. With everything in life, S&M has been romanticized in recent years especially with the Shades of Grey trilogy. However, this is a very hard, unflinching, and very gross light of S&M and bondage. Sure, if you're the dominant, you have it made. But if you're submissive, kiss your rights away, it can be sold to the highest bidder. ( )

I enjoyed this book as much as Topping from Below. It was quite good in terms of the story and the characters, as well as having a surprise twist. I just wish she didn't have such bleak endings, as though the bad people (sexually different) had to pay for their differences. ( )
