Shiloh Walker (Goodreads Author)
A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW
Nia Hollister doesn’t scare easily. She’s returned to Ash, Kentucky, with a vengeance—and with a mission: find the killer who brutally ended her cousin’s life. What she didn’t count on was trembling with desire every time she sees Law Reilly. If any man can help her escape the nightmares for a while, it’s him.

4-4 ½ stars – Romantic Suspense
Always listen to your instincts. I had a hunch about the killer in book one, If You Hear Her, and thought Puck confirmed it for me with his whimpering/growling around a certain character. Then so much happened in the second book, If You See Her, that I became confused and second-guessed myself, but my original deduction was right.

Basically, if you love suspense and romance, you need to read this trilogy. Don't put it off any longer, don't wait. I picked up the first book, If You Hear Her on a whim, and devoured it. I was so entranced that I begged Shiloh Walker herself for ARCs of the next two books in the trilogy so I could find out what happened next. I was obsessed!

If You Know Her, the 3rd book in the Ash Trilogy by Shiloh Walker is the conclusion to a series that started out explosively good. It was the need to know the identity of the killer that Shiloh had hidden so well in plain sight that made me come back for more every time. Shiloh Walker is an author who manages to disturb my slumber. This time it was a nightmare that I read the final book in the trilogy and STILL couldn’t figure out who the killer was which had me jerking back to wakefulness.

The time has finally come to reveal who the killer is! You can expect If You Know Her to be a nail-biting, edge-of-seat and very sexy read!
This series has a great cast of characters. I can't say there's one that I didn't like, but Nia and Law are MY FAVORITE! They're perfect for each other.

Well, after struggling through this third book, I have to say don't read the three of these in the series in a row. Holy Cow this last one was hard to get through. If it weren't for wanting to find out who did it, I wouldn't have got even a third of the way through.
Really, I think this author is trying to channel Lora Leigh with all the "fuck" and "hell" and super over-the-top instantaneous falling in love over protectiveness by the H, reluctance by the h, over dramatics all round.

What I learned:
- is that I can officially say that Ms. Walker is a master at Romantic Suspense.
- is that if I ever find out that you started this series at either book 2 or 3 I will never talk to you again. This MUST be read in order in order to receive the full impact!
- is that she has created this intense, emotional story arc, spread over three novels, and has done it is such a way, that I really wasn't sure who the killer was until JUST before we were told. AND IT ALL MADE SENSE! This wasn't...more

So the final instalment in the Ash trilogy and please don’t read my review if you’ve not read the previous 2 books.
Warning – Here Be Spoilers
Nia is back in Ash, totally unable to let matters lie after the murder of her cousin Joely last year. Hope’s psychotic ex has been nailed for the murder posthumously but Nia doesn’t believe it and starts to investigate similar killings and disappearances. She notices something – the killer is collecting trophies, namely hair and jewellery. It’s a key moment...more

This book was a perfect ending to the series. On the romance side of things I was so happy to see Law finally find someone, and become a little more confident in himself. In the first book I saw him as a sad little puppy dog who couldn't get the girl. In the second book he was like a big brother looking out for Hope, but Nia brings out his stronger side and he does a little more taking charge in this book, and I really liked that.

I am not sure what other readers saw in this trilogy to give it such glowing reviews. I started out really liking the first book even though I knew who the killer was then. The second book was a let down for me and the final book stunk. My biggest problem was with the character Nia. She was a world class bitch. If that was her only flaw, I could let it go but she was an idiot. This to me is unforgivable. She is smart enough to research similar murders and solve a crime that numerous law enforcem...more

So we come to the final instalment of the Ash trilogy, the one where we finally find out the killer's identity and see all of our three couples walk off into the sunset. On paper, this should be the best of the series, with the stories' climax and the romance of Law Riley, the most consistently featured character throughout, but it wasn't. In fact, it was my least favourite. Go figure.

Definitely my least favorite of the trilogy. I have disliked Nia since she was introduced in If You See Her, and she did not redeem herself here. She was the epitome of a TSTL heroine: rushing off into dark, unfamiliar places to search for a serial killer; refusing to take good advice that would spare her pain because she's too "rash and impulsive;" and just generally being a bitch for no good reason. At one point, she actually asks Law why he puts up with her bitchiness, and I found myself wond...more
This story is the conclusion of the Ash Trilogy, in which we were trying to figure out a murder plaguing the community in Ash Kentucky. I must admit, I wasn’t sure who the killer was, but I shouldn’t have been surprised.
Nia Hollister came back to town to expedite the investigation into her cousin Jolene’s murder. She was definitely a strong woman, who didn’t take crap from anyone. She carried her own gun, and she made sure people knew she wasn’t going to be anyone’s victim. She made her appearan...more

A great ending to a three book trilogy I greatly enjoyed. The killer kept me guessing for the first, second and half of the third book before I figured it out. That and a great mix of characters and their stories kept me excited for the books.
This last book was a great wrap up, but I wanted SO much more for Law. I liked him from the get go and while I think he and NIa were a good couple, I wanted more out of the story for them. And I got a tad bit angry at the end the way Nia handled it all........more

I've been thinking about this series ender a lot. I loved the entire series, and even though I *thought* I had figured out who the killer was in book 1, I was wrong. This rarely happens, although, in retrospect, I can see where my thinking went wrong.
That makes me respect the book more. However, there are a few things that have been really bugging me about the books, things that never were answered. Why did the first known victim look so much like Lena? Did any of the other victims look like Len...more

This was the best book of the trilogy, but then everything wraps up in this book. You find out who the killer is (and boy, that was an extremely big surprise, but then I guess serial killers usually are). There are a lot of people who I'm sad because they die in this book and even in previous books. You really get to like characters and then they go and die on you. The worst death to me was in the second book.

Outstanding! This is the best series I've read in quite some time. The locale, Ash Kentucky (fictional, but believable). The characters and the suspenseful plot all work together for a great reading experience. There are three sexy alpha heroes and three heroines who for the most part are all dealing with their own issues. There's Lena, who is blind. She awakens late one night to a woman's screams outside her home in the woods at the back of her place. Then their is Hope, who is running and hidi...more
“If You Know Her” by Shiloh Walker is the dramatic and gripping finish to the trio started with “If You Hear Her” and continued with “If You See Her”. Nia Hollister refuses to believe that her cousin’s murder has been solved and she returns to Ash to search for more information. Law Reilly has never forgotten the statuesque woman who threatened him when she thought that he was involved in her cousin’s murder. His relationship with his childhood friend Hope is damaged by Law’s inexplicable defens...more

Law is a writer who likes to keep that part of his life private, even though the town people like to speculate about his source of wealth. In the last two books he has seen his friend and the woman he loved Lena fall for Ezra, been beaten and suspected of murder. With the events of the last book everyone thinks the killer has been caught, Jolene's murderer dead but Nia her cousin doesn't believe it. She is a photojournalist and is still investigating and finds a clue and comes back to town.

OMG what an amazing series this was!!! I just wanted a better closure at the end but I loved it!!
Small town Ash, Kentucky.
I was disappointed by a couple of things in this story, the last in the trilogy that started out with a young women, Jolene Hollister who was held captive and then murdered and her body left on Law Reilly's premises. I believe I set my expectations way too high. Some elements in the story were implausible.
I was hoping to read more about Brody and his father, how things worked out between them.

Rating: 4 / 5 plus a half star for excellent creativity near the end.
In most ways this book lived up to my expectations, but in some ways it didn't quite get there. I liked it, but not as much as the first two books in this trilogy.
Series:
Third book in Shiloh Walker's "Ash" trilogy about the small town of Ash, Kentucky, the people who live there and the strange things going on. Series really should be read in order as there is an overall trilogy arc and tons of connections.

I devoured this trilogy in nothing flat. Every character – yes, even the villain – is first rate, the mystery keeps you guessing for quite some time, and the romance is vintage Shiloh Walker. If you’re already a fan, you know how good these books are. If you’re not a fan yet, well, you need to step up to the plate. Ms. Walker has knocked it out of the park, time for you to bring it on home.

If You Know Her is the third book in The Ash Trilogy by Shiloh Walker and was kindly provided to me by Netgalley for Ballantine Books.
I unfortunately started this book not realizing it was a part of a series. Ms. Walker does a wonderful job of explaining characters, past events from the other books etc. so I found myself caught up pretty quickly but I would have liked to have started from book one.

Bueno pues he acabado con la serie y con la escritora.
No me ha convencido con su estilo, ni con los personajes.
Abusa de la repetición de las palabras, las conversaciones son cansinas. Tiene montones de páginas innecesarias. El último tercio se me ha hecho insufrible, la policía como siempre parece torpe y el asesino más. También me sobraba tanto POV del asesino.

This is the final installment of the Ash trilogy and my favorite of the three. Not only because the killer is finally revealed (and I began to finally make some correct guesses) but because the action, suspense and romance all feel more ramped up in this one.

“Tipping her head, she stared into his tawny, hazel eyes, so intense, so burning-hot and all-consuming. Had she ever had a man look at her like that? Like she was all? Like she was everything? The center of his universe? Hell, screw the center … Law was looking at her like she was his universe.”

“Then he curled his tongue around her clit and Nia could have sworn she saw lights exploding. Her breath caught in her lungs, the muscles in her body went rigid. Nothing, absolutely nothing seemed to exist except for the way that man was teasing her closer and closer to climax, using his tongue in a way that was nothing short of diabolical.”
