The first thing I noticed when reading Panic is that in the prologue Kent's voice sounded almost like a voice over. It just had that kind of tone and it probably didn't help that I had watched Iron Man 3 before reading it but I'm just going to shut up and review  Panic now, haha.Ryan Ringbloom gives readers just enough information to tease them almost before backing away and moving onto something else. She revisits the topic later on and you find out more. It wasn't hard to find myself reading on just to find more information on the two main characters and their history.The writing flowed really smoothly. It was really easy to read the book and the different voices came out clearly. Even if you didn't know who was speaking you could make a pretty good guess from the tone and way the characters talked.I almost felt as if I was starting at the end of a book instead of the beginning. I'm not sure if it was just the situation the characters found themselves in or something like that but it's just a feeling that I got. It was something that I found unique to Ryan Ringbloom's writing.The one thing that confused me was the addition of the Three Years Later and switch in character's perspective. I had a niggling suspicion about how it would be relevant to Kent and Robin's situation but I wasn't completely sure until almost the end of the book. Then it became extremely clear what was going on if it hadn't already been. It was an awkward, emotional situation and one that as a reader of romance books I don't often get. Usually the topic of adoption comes up and readers are only able to view the side of the adopter's not the one's giving their child up for adoption. It was eye-opening and something that I think was realistically portrayed. It definitely gave me a new look into a difficult subject. While I was almost wishing that I could have just avoided the chapters with Bailey and Shane, I also was glad that we got this new perspective.Panic was a good read, one that many readers can find themselves looking into a new perspective on a difficult subject.Find this review and many others on Reading Shy With Aly(http://readingshy.blogspot.ca)
