Jaw dropping suspense

I loved this book and cannot wait for Snapped part 2.......I could hardly put this book down I could identify with each character for several different reasons. Camille for instance is the wife I try to be, devoted and trusting yet a little too trusting. Misa is like lots of woman striving for the ultimate comfortable life. Dominique the woman that is a complete package, successful, independent but in love with a dead end man. Gillian is how most woman would like to be treated by the man in their life, a delicate flower but a little rough around the edges demanding total respect. Lotoya strong independent and in total control of the men in her life, and loving living the life of luxury. A great book a must read, definitely.

Good Read

Wow this was a good book. It started off slow but when it hit the middle it took off! My favorite couple was Gillian and Frankie. Yeah It was foul the way that Frankie did Camille but still. Camille was weak to me. Tracy Brown did a great job telling this story of four sorta strong women instead a bunch of hood rats looking for a come up. Misa, was in some ways worst then her sister Camille. I swear they both need a reality check. The ending of this book was shocking... but I would've done the same if it was me. I can't wait for part 2!

Over the Edge!

I am a big fan of Tracy Brown, and I must say I was very happy with this book. The ending left me hang on the edge of my seat! I felt running to the store and getting the sequel right away, which shows the excellence of the first book. This is a different type of tale for Tracy Brown, it started out slow for me but picked up and took off! I feel Tracy Brown has a fan base that would purchase her read just on the strength of her storytelling she left this book this wide open for a sequel that her her fans will love to come back and read. Camille, Latoya, Misa, and Dominique have their own reasons for losing it and this felt like a good episode for Snapped, the TV show. I can't wait for the next book, this is a five star rating for me! Tracy Brown has written a story that is pleases her loyal fans.

Jaw-Dropping

I've completed the eagerly awaited "Snapped" and I was elated with the outcome. There's glittery storytelling and well-crafted scenes filled with true raw emotion. The women of "Snapped" are all fierce in their own right. Camille, Misa, Dominique and Latoya all possess beauty, intellect and have ascertained a certain level of success. Each woman is resilient and determined to live life to the fullest until one of them reaches their breaking point and "snaps". Camille and her husband, Frankie appears to have it all: money, prestige and power. However, Frankie spends the majority of his time with Gillian, the beautiful daughter of his beloved mentor, Nobles. He claims they're merely friends and business associates, however, Camille believes otherwise. She's petrified of losing her husband to another woman. Powerless and unwilling to give Frankie up, Camille begins to unravel and there's no telling what she'll do in order to salvage her marriage. Misa, the younger sister of Camille, is dense when it comes to men. The mother of three year old, Shane, she's enthusiastic to resort back to the single life. Now that she's divorced, she's looking for Mr. Right and fixated on living lavishly. As soon as she spots Baron, Misa immediately believes he's the answer to her prayers. She begins ditching her parental responsibilities to chase after the aloof, Baron. Misa soon discovers that she may have bit off more than she can chew. Dominique, also a single parent, is dealing with issues of her own. She's madly in love with Jamel, a street hustler who's presently incarcerated. No matter what her friends and family have stated, Dominique refuses to abandon Jamel. Unfortunately, she's too preoccupied to realize that her teenage daughter, Octavia, is blossoming into womanhood sadly without the much needed guidance of her mother. Something or someone eerie is lurking in Latoya's life yet she refuses to acknowledge the demon she's been avoiding. Will this outspoken and thorny woman finally lose control for once in her life? The plot, although mildly dramatic, was brilliant. The lives of each of the female characters were noticeably interesting as well as convincing. The ending is startling (even displeasing) and unfortunately, readers will have to wait in order to discover what becomes of Camille, Misa, Dominique and Latoya. I believe a five star rating for "Snapped" is justified. Ms. Brown has written a story that is true to herself as well as her adoring fans.
