Description
Conspiracy, the third book in USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble's Sanctuary series (following Ambush and Prowl), 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 Lynette Eason.
Fifteen years of secrets. Once chance for justice.
Just as wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden begins to envision a future with Blake Lawson, the ghosts of her past return with a vengeance. The murder of her parents has shadowed her for fifteen years, but a new threat brings the cold case into the terrifying present. A trained leopard--a chilling embodiment of Paradise's deepest fears--is now stalking her.
Haunted by resurfacing memories, Paradise, Blake, and her newfound brother, Drew, follow a trail of clues that leads them into a web of dark family secrets. The deeper they dig, the more shocking the connections become, linking their families to a dangerous conspiracy that someone is still willing to kill to protect.
With every step closer to the truth, the killer becomes more desperate. Paradise, Blake, and Drew must race to expose a murderer who has remained hidden for fifteen years, but this time, they are the ones being stalked. If they can't unmask the killer, the past will destroy both the fragile future Paradise and Blake are trying to build and the family she has finally found with her brother.
A conspiracy of lemurs is a family. But a conspiracy of people can be deadly.
Colleen Coble's Conspiracy combines gripping suspense with slow-burn romance and includes intriguing mysteries from both the past and present, sabotage and danger, second-chance romance, found family, and themes of overcoming pain and how the past doesn't have to define you.

“A conspiracy of lemurs is a family. But a conspiracy of people can be deadly.”
I’m sad to finish the third and final book in The Sanctuary series. Although I’m not familiar with the Pelican Harbor series, I did like how author Colleen Coble wove it together with the Tupelo Grove series and The Sanctuary series. It’s fun checking in with characters you already know.
This final installment is again set in The Sactuary Wildlife Preserve and features Wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden. As you can guess from the title, this story centers around a few conspiracies. Firstly, there’s the ring-tailed lemur family that Paradise is caring for and protecting; a group of lemurs is called a conspiracy. Then there’s a conspiracy surrounding her birth parents. They’ve been murdered, and Paradise channels her energy into justice for her parents. This thread highlights jealousy and obsession, and the lengths we’ll go to keep a secret. Finally, there’s a conspiracy involving predator animals loose on the preserve and a race to safety. Who do these animals belong to, and why are they hunting down Paradise? With so much sabotage and danger, solving these mysteries turns out to be incredibly suspenseful. I was glued to the pages, trying to discover who didn’t want Paradise to investigate her parents’ murders and why.
This tension is well-balanced with a slow-burning romance as Paradise and Blake Lawson make time for each other amid chaos in their lives. There’s also a focus on found family, the value of community, and a light faith thread tying it all together. I appreciated the reminder about where we focus when times are tough. One of the characters agrees that “God always knew the plans he had for us, but we sure couldn’t see them in the rough times.”
I’m excited to see what Colleen Coble has next in store for her readers.
I was gifted this copy and was under no obligation to provide a review.
I have yet to read a book from Colleen that I wouldn't recommend. Her stories grab a hold of your attention early and keep you flipping pages. I know I'm in for a binge read anytime I grab one of her books.
Conspiracy, book three in her Sanctuary series met all of my expectations and then exceeded them. The storyline was packed with suspense, tension, twists and memorable characters that I know will stick me.
While I definitely could and would read more books from this world, the conclusion was also very satisfying. It's bittersweet moving on from a good series but I can't wait to read more from Colleen in the future.
An easy and deserving 5🌟 from me!
Thank you Colleen Coble, Net Galley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

This is the conclusion to the Sanctuary series. All the loose ends are tied and there is plenty of tense moments and heart-stopping scenes before everything comes together for the climatic final chapter. A good reminder of the importance of friendship and family.

The final book in this series and it did not disappoint. I was glad to see the murders finally solved and I did not
figure out the murderer. I enjoyed the relationship between Blake and Paradise and the friendships they shared
with others.
I will this group of people but not the big cats!
Thank you for this ARC.

Conspiracy is the third book in the series and it's full of danger, suspense, drama, animals and found family but also care and love. Paradise and her brother are investigating what happened to their parents but someone doesn't want them looking at all. I enjoyed this as much as I possibly could and it was a pleasure to read.
Conspiracy is the third book in Colleen Coble’s Sanctuary series, and what a gripping, edge of your seat conclusion it delivers. While Coble provides enough context to follow along, the first two books lay the groundwork for the emotional and relational depth that makes this finale so powerful.
Wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden is finally allowing herself to imagine a future with Blake Lawson—until her past resurfaces with a vengeance. The murder of her parents fifteen years ago remains unsolved, and as old memories begin to haunt her, Paradise, Blake, and her newly discovered brother, Drew, start digging for answers. What they uncover is far more shocking and dangerous than any of them expected, revealing long buried connections between their families.
The deeper they search, the more perilous the journey becomes. New evidence sheds light on the brutal deaths of Paradise’s parents and Drew’s father, exposing secrets that have been hidden for decades—and placing everyone seeking the truth in imminent danger.
Colleen Coble once again proves herself a master of clean romantic suspense. Her storytelling is immersive, her pacing relentless, and her ability to weave familiar characters from previous books into new stories always feels like a warm reunion with old friends. This finale is both thrilling and deeply satisfying.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All comments and opinions are my own.

Conspiracy by Colleen Coble published by Thomas Nelson Fiction, is the third book in the Sanctuary Series. Every book is interconnected and I recommend to read the books in order. The previous books are Am..sh and Pr..l.
Paradise and Blake are together and they could get their well deserved hea. But the wildlife enclosure owner and the vet are fare from hea. The newest case is when an unalive employee is found and investigations lead on a conspiracy against Paradise. Why? We have to find out.
Intriguing with just the right amount of suspense from start til the and, a story full of twists and turns, 5 stars.
Ashley S, Reviewer
Conspiracy is a perfect blend of romance, suspense, and mystery. Colleen Coble keeps the tension high while grounding the story in emotional depth, making it impossible to rush through—or put down.
I especially loved the added layers of family drama and long-buried secrets, which gave the story real weight and complexity. The romance is tender and well-paced, never overpowering the suspense but enhancing it in all the right moments.
This is a gripping, emotionally rich read for anyone who loves their mysteries with heart, history, and just the right touch of romance.
I love Colleen Coble and catch all the books that come out and won’t miss any.
I had to get this one . This is the third one in a series and I love the suspense and romance between the characters but it’s clean and Christian books
Thank you NetGalley and publishers for my copy

What a satisfying conclusion to this series. While Blake and Paradise should have been focusing on their HEA, they and Paradise's newly found brother Drew are digging into the murders of Paradise's parents and Drew's dad. However, someone is determined to not let the truth be revealed. Packed full of suspense, secrets, attacks, twists and turns, and heart-pounding close calls, Conspiracy is a clean romantic suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this book and series! It starts right off with danger! Paradise and Blake, her boyfriend, and Drew, her new-found half brother are searching for who killed her parents, and Drew’s dad. And now, they are after Paradise! As the three grow closer, things continue to heat up. There is danger, family, Big Cats, suspense, mystery, and Faith, and of course, romance, and so much more! Such a good book! I received an ARC through NetGalley, but my review is my own true opinion.
Rachel F, Librarian
This was a strong finish to the Sanctuary series.
I liked that everything finally circled back to what happened to Paradise’s parents instead of introducing a completely new mystery. It made the whole story feel more connected to everything she’s been dealing with since the first book, and raised the stakes in a way that actually mattered.
The tension builds steadily as more details come out, and I thought the twists were handled well without getting too unrealistic. The wildlife preserve setting also added to the sense of danger once things started escalating.
There were a few moments where it felt like a lot was happening at once, but overall it moved at a good pace and tied things up in a satisfying way.
I receive complimentary books from various sources, including NetGalley, authors, and others. I am not required to write a positive review, and I have not received any compensation for my thoughts.
Barbara L, Reviewer
What a beautiful conclusion to a wonderful series. It’s full of mystery and suspense. The characters take a spiritual journey along with a journey searching for closure of the deaths of Paradise’s parents. Family is very important in this series. It’s a roller coaster ride of angst and suspense. I enjoyed this book very much! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Conspiracy by Colleen Coble is a well written romantic suspense. I throughly enjoyed the fast paced edge of your seat plot. The author has once again delivered a fantastic book. I received an ARC from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

"Conspiracy" is a Christian romantic suspense. This is the third book in a series and continues the story of the main characters in the previous books. Drew, Paradise, and Blake asked questions, found clues, and made connections regarding the deaths of Drew's and Paradise's parents. Two of the bad guys were pretty guessable as the clues built up, and they weren't a surprise to Paradise's group, either. While I didn't guess the main whodunit until the critical clue was uncovered, I did wonder at this person's behavior shortly before the reveal. This killer made a mild attempt to misdirect the investigation but did so by pointing them toward two major clues, one of which prompted Paradise to remember the truth. Basically, the killer needlessly exposed themselves, and I don't quite understand why (though the killer had plans to disappear, and I suppose killers aren't required to be logical).
The main characters were likable and reacted realistically to events. The suspense came from the danger from the attacks on Paradise. Blake and Paradise supported each other and worked well together. Paradise grew in her trust that God cared about her. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
Melissa W, Reviewer
This was a fantastic end to Paradise and Blake's reuniting story. They have been through so much together. This final step in their story to find out what happened to Paradise's parents really grabbed ahold of you from the first pages and keeps you trying to figure out who did it and what was going on all those years ago. Her brother, Drew is along for the ride. It seems people know more then they are telling and why didn't they tell the police when the investigation was going on?
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Fantastic must read story weaving all the threads together into a suspenseful masterpiece. Red herrings, false trails, mystery and suspense combine with romance to make this book definitely worth the read. This book was provided through NetGalley and the author for me to read. The opinions expressed here are my own thoughts.

CONSPIRACY is the third novel in the Sanctuary series by COLLEEN COBLE, and, although it can easily stand alone, I am glad I have read the first two books and have come to know the characters.
The story is not only full of suspense, mystery and romance, but the setting in the animal sanctuary with all the amazing animals is powerful. The theme of family and belonging is very strong, not only as far as people are concerned but also in the lives of the animals. I love the family oriented lemurs and the powerful big cata. The fact that a group of lemurs is called a conspiracy ties in well with the conspiracies and secrets surrounding the murders of Paradise and her brother Drew’s parents.
There is also a good Christian message as Paradise and Blake learn to trust the Lord in the hair-raisng situations they find themseves in.
I cannot recommend this great read strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
Wow! What an amazing ending to this series! As always, Colleen's writing blew me away. I never would have guessed who the perpetrators were. The Sanctuary is one of my favorite fictional places to "visit"!
There are a lot of familiar characters and some new ones. Paradise amazes me. She's such a strong and giving person. Blake is extraordinary! His protector characteristic ensures that those he loves remain safe. Isaac and Levi are adorable as always! Their funny antics helped balance the serious content of the story.
The importance of family is prevalent throughout the book. It reminded me to be thankful for the loving and supportive family that I have. It's truly a blessing!
I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Harper Collins Publishing via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Picking up where the previous book left off, Paradise and Blake are planning a future together, and working to uncover the mysteries shrouding her past along with her half-brother, Drew.
More family secrets are unearthed as they continue to seek answers. Tensions are high as they deal with more incidents at the sanctuary, and it begins to look like the people who killed her parents are still out there and looking to tie up loose ends.
A dynamite conclusion to a fantastic series, filled with tension, suspense and likeable characters. I liked how the book follows Drew a little, as we get to know more about his and Paradise's past. A thrilling adventure, with a lot going on, high stakes, faith and exotic animals.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have been so excited to read the conclusion of the Sanctuary series and Conspiracy did not disappoint. Nonstop suspense and drama plus sweet romance fill the pages and complete the series with a satisfying ending. I love the unique setting and details with the wild animals and sanctuary the family lives on. Don’t miss this series!
Cara P, Reviewer
With conspiracy, Colleen Coble has penned a wonderful conclusion to her Sanctuary series. A wonderful twisting story that brings back all my favorite characters from both this series in the Tupelo Grove series, I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen. Paradise wonders if she'll ever get her happily-ever-after, but first she wants to find out who murdered her parents. Discovering she had a brother Drew is wonderful, but it's not enough. Paradise and Blake band together with Drew to try to unwind what happened so long ago -- and the threads are still tied tightly to today. This book was a fantastic page-turner that kept me guessing. I loved every page. A satisfying conclusion to this series.
