PAULA'S REVIEW:
This second book in the Sanctuary series by Colleen Coble was engrossing from page one. I love the idea of a wildlife sanctuary and I was intrigued to see how far Paradise Alden had progressed in her search for her parent’s killer. But the quest seems to be side-tracked by another murder staged to look like a big cat attack. And someone from her past is trying to stop her investigating. The Sanctuary is in deep financial trouble and a solution presents itself. But is it a ruse or is it even viable.

The Sanctuary is in deep financial trouble and a solution presents itself. But is it a ruse or is it even viable.
Then there is the matter of a missing will that poses an additional problem.
The romance between Paradise and Blake Lawson permeates the story, but with everything going on, it is hard for them to set a wedding date. Blake is in protection mode, not only with Paradise but with his mom and little brothers too. A lot is on his shoulders. Paradise still wants to assert her independence, however is very grateful for Blake when he comes to the rescue.
Ms Coble writes a well-researched, intricately plotted story that had me turning pages. I loved seeing the Lawson family connections, their strong faith and a few characters from other books.
This series is not to be missed. I am eager to see what happens in book three.

Prowl, the second book in USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble's Sanctuary series (following Ambush), delivers exactly what her fans want: the ideal blend of suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat with just the right amount of romance. Perfect for fans of Laura Dave, Allison Brennan, and Dani Pettrey.
When a worker at the Sanctuary is discovered dead in the tiger enclosure, authorities assume the big cat killed her. But when the autopsy shows she was killed by a lethal dose of anesthetic delivered by a tranquilizer gun, suspicion falls on Blake Lawson, co-owner of the Sanctuary. Blake has his hands full trying to clear his name as well as get the Sanctuary finances back in the black. When a soil test turns up traces of rare earth, he's even more puzzled. Is someone trying to run them out of business to get to whatever is under the ground?
Meanwhile, wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden is determined to find the brother she only recently learned even existed. When the results of the DNA test she ran mysteriously disappear from her portal before she can read them, she realizes someone must not want her to know the truth. A break-in at her new apartment is alarming, but she tries to pass it off as someone trying to scare her away. She refuses to turn tail and run when she is desperate for answers.
For Blake, the only solid ground is his relationship with Paradise, and he longs to propose--but how can they even think about starting a life together with so many forces working against them?
