Cry Sanctuary capture my attention from the start. It has a very powerful plot but with the romance added to the story, it was able to lighten the book. It would have been too intense otherwise as there isn't a lot of happiness in the book. With the romance scenes the characters were able to let go and find some relief with each other. I really liked Sadie's writing style and how she even showed us glimpses into the workings of the Hunters. There are some unpleasant scenes in this book.The villain in this story is just as nasty as the previous one in Hounded and his taunting of the heroine throughout the story adds an extra umph of emotional impact. It was Holly's insight into the Hunter's 'game' that won her freedom from his clutches, but now the Hunter is playing a new game and all of the old rules are out the window and Holly is his prize.So we have a hound and wolf game ( cat & mouse) of Holly's hunt for the Hunter - while he is also hunting her.Holly is a Hound in the Shifter Town Enforcement, she's got some curves and doesn't dress to impress. I liked Holly, she is determined not to break as she has only one goal in mind which is to capture the Hunter. She is quite focused on the task at hand, although she isn't able to remain cold hearted and the depth of Holly's guilt and grief as she tries to save his next victims make her character feel real.Caine is the Alpha male of the Wolf pack and is extremely sexy and dependable. He is doing his best to keep his people safe. He blames himself when his pack members are taken and he feels guilty and powerless to do anything to stop it or to save them.I thought that Caine was a great Alpha, looking out for others before himself. He has met his match with Holly. She is a very determined person and she is used to getting her own way, which is an Alpha-like trait in itself. I think that they make a good pair and complement each other which enables them to work together on the case, and draw strength and comfort from each other.Overall great addition to the series. I am looking forward to the next story.
