Reviews
In this third installment of the Shadow trilogy, Hedgecock packages an onslaught of dire events, including stalkers, a murder trial, a massive earthquake, revenge, kidnapping, ghosts, and romance for an orphaned teen left to fend for her own life in an adult world. Her ghost-seeing Doberman helps her navigate this modern-day mystery. A fun ride without needing to read the first two books.
Diablo Gazette
A Doberman, a psychopath and a DNA test make the chilling recipe for In Shadow’s Reflection. In Shadow’s Reflection provides a good mix of thoughtful introspection of Sarah’s heritage, as well as the action that keeps you page-turning to see how it all ends. As with her other Shadow novels, tying the supernatural into the flow of the story allows a greater depth of understanding for Sarah, and helps her to evolve into a more mature character. And you can’t go wrong with a Doberman.

Sarah and her Doberman Shadow are back again in this intense series about mystery, discovery, and a young woman’s incredible journey into her past so masterfully captured by author Jill Hedgecock. Sarah’s innocent questions about her family open up an unexpected Pandora’s box. The bond between a girl and her Doberman is so beautifully on full display while the story simultaneously engrosses the reader in a world where the past may be darker, but the future brighter, than you would have guessed. Read this book and take this journey, you won’t forget it.

In Shadow’s Reflection is a tightly plotted YA mystery about a teenager handling adult-sized issues with skills that will make readers proud of her. It’s also about the costs of secrets, the potency of forgiveness, and the power of the truth. The narrator is an excellent role model.
