This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the third book in the Sanctuary series. I have read the first two books in this series before picking up this book. I read this book by listening to the audiobook, and I loved the audiobook so much. I loved this book and series, and I am sad this is the final book in this series. I love all the animals in this book, and the two little boys and animals make this book so much better. I loved this book so much. I really loved how this book and series wrapped up. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

My favorite book of the series and a completely satisfying conclusion.

I loved finally getting to the heart of what happened to Paradise's parents and seeing how those answers connected to the clues and breadcrumbs carefully woven throughout the earlier books. It's always rewarding when a series trusts its readers and then delivers on the payoff, and this one absolutely does.

What I enjoyed most about this series has been the combination of suspense, family, faith, and relationships, and this final installment brings those elements together beautifully. Watching the larger story come full circle while still giving the characters room to grow made for a very satisfying read.

Finishing a series always comes with a little sadness, but I'm excited to dive deeper into this author's backlist and see what else she has to offer.

The third novel in the popular Sanctuary series, Conspiracy, by bestselling author, Colleen Coble, finds protagonist, Veterinarian Paradise Alden, along with her newly discovered step-brother, Drew Bartley, is investigating the murder of their parents that was never solved, and was over 15 years old. Early on, there are attempts on her life, and her boyfriend, Blake Lawson, serves as her bodyguard, sort of, and rescuer, since someone is trying to kill her so she doesn’t discover who the real murderer is. Someone knows she is afraid of big cats, and someone is putting a giant cat in her path.

Coble inserts fascinating facts in her stories regarding the animals in the sanctuary, and it is evident that she has done her research. She inserts fictional characters into her stories with factual backdrops, and does an excellent job of setting the scene, so readers can easily picture themselves in a real animal sanctuary. Another of Coble’s strengths is making her characters ring true, and they are believable as real people.

Luckily this novel also comes in the form of an audio book, and the narrator is excellent; readers may want to listen, since it brings the book to life.

While there is plenty of suspense that builds throughout the novel, there is no blatant violence or profanity and is an excellent choice for thriller aficionados who enjoy edge-of-your-seat stories without the filth. Colleen Coble’s style is appealing, and this novel is recommended.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This has been my favourite Colleen Cable series, but be forewarned, the ‘Sanctuary’ books should be read in order, ‘Ambush‘, ‘Prowl‘ and finally ‘Conspiracy‘. The perfect blend of romance along with stalkerish suspense make each book impossible to put down and all combined — phew, what I call sweet perfection. Or maybe that should be eerie perfection. Lots of shivery chills and romantical thrills!

The wildlife sanctuary setting is so unique and utterly fascinating between the details on the various animals and the challenges of keeping a facility like that funded and running smoothly. And it provides some wonderful scope for compelling suspense and action scenes!

The romance between Paradise and Blake has been spectacular. It’s been so fulfilling to watch their relationship deepen over the course of three books, making their ultimate happily ever after downright epic! And that goes for personal character growth as well, especially in Paradise. Her backstory was brutal and her struggle to overcome the subsequent fears inspiring. I love how Blake didn’t back away from any of their issues either. They talked things through, fretted when they didn’t see eye to eye but neither gave up on the other. That kind of romantic depth just couldn’t happen in one book.

‘Conspiracy’ is the series grande finale, where all the loose ends are tied up nicely, from cold cases to Paradise’s family history and even the ultimate comeuppance for one particularly nasty secondary character (I cheered out loud!) Such an enriching read!

Well, listen in my case as I enjoyed the audio edition narrated by Karen Peakes. She has been the narrator for all three books and I appreciate that continuity. She has the incredible ability to portray each character with unique voices that suit their personalities and is especially wonderful at creating believable children’s voices. Highly recommend the audio editions in the ‘Sanctuary‘ series.

My thanks to Thomas Nelson Fiction Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Conspiracy is the final installment in the sanctuary series. This is a solving of the murders and story of the wildlife sanctuary

Conspiracy by Colleen Coble is the third book in her Sanctuary series. Narrated by Karen peaks, who did a wonderful job. What a great conclusion to this series. I feel like you would need to start with book 1. So many twists and turns in this mystery surrounding her parent’s deaths. Will Paradise and Blake get their happily ever after or will one of the big cats take Paradise out? Thank you to #NetGalley and #ThomasNelsonFiction/ audio for this Arc. This is my honest review.

I loved this book but hated that it is the end of the Sanctuary series! The narrator did a great job conveying all of the emotions throughout. This mystery took so many twists and turns but Blake and Paradise plowed through all of them and came out stronger in their faith and love.. The connection of the author's Alabama based books was particularly enjoyable to me, kind of like a family reunion. Hopefully, we haven't seen the end of these characters, Colleen Coble always leaves us wanting more!

Colleen Coble has done it again!! What a thrilling, engaging, and perfect ending to the Sanctuary series! I’ll miss Blake and Paradise, but my heart leaves this series filled with hope, love for family, and reverent faith. All running themes throughout these past few books. And the audio narration was wonderfully executed! Loved!!

This was book 3 in the series and I loved the direction this story took. The story was wrapped up the way I had hoped it would be, while still having some good plot twists tied in. It was very well done in my opinion. I would recommend this book and the series!

I loved the conclusion to this book. It was neat seeing how they interacted with the animals. It was interesting to see how they dealt with the danger they were in seeing how all the relationships had progressed. It had lots of twists and turns. Wish there were more,

This is the third and final book in the Sanctuary series. I would recommend reading the first two book in the series before reading this book. This is the continuation of Paradises and Blakes story as they struggle to make a success of the Sanctuary. Paradise connects with her brother that she didn't know she had. As she struggles to remember what happened the night her parents were murdered, someone is out to make sure she doesn't remember anything by trying to kill her. There is lots of mystery and twists and turns in this book. I recommend the entire series.

I received this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in anyway.
