Kimberlyn is a werewolf who has lived without a pack for her whole life. Wanting to belong she goes to Kentucky where she knows there is a pack. Stumbling upon the pack the first night she moves into her new home, Kimberlyn heals the packs leader who is injured in a battle with bear shifters. What she doesn't know is not everyone who is a shapeshifter is a healer. For her own protection Kimberlyn is put underguard, but she doesn't see it that way. She feels like she is being held against her will. All her plans of freedom go down the drain when the pack leader tells her she is the third mate with he and another male member of the pack.

Sanctuary is a fast moving, often violent novel about shapeshifter who live their life in a constant battle between each other. I was kind of disappointed that the leader of the pack never seemed to have much of a soft spot. He shows his dominance by forcing people to his will, which make the loyalty of the pack not earned but feared because there is no other way. A stronger heroine character would have told the pack where to go in the beginning, but that's just my opinion. Generally, Cassidy Hunter has great potential for telling a good story. I may try a book of hers in the future just to see if I like it better than this one.
