My Review for Catching a Cardinal by Genevieve Scholl





Book Blurb:

 Morgan Percy would do anything for her father; including marrying a man she didn’t love.
But, when she sees her new husband doing something unexplainable, she runs… Right into Elliot Brown’s house and arms. Then, after finding out that it was dark magic she had witnessed, she enlists the help of The Birds of Paradise Rescue Team. Except, they decide that she has to go undercover to gain more information on her husband and who he truly is so they can take him down.
The only problem is, during the course of the investigation, Morgan and Elliot start to have feelings for each other, but have to keep it secret from her husband; who also happens to be Elliot’s father.




My Review:  5 stars *****

CONTAINS SPOILERS. Received and ARC for an honest review.

This book was phenomenal! I loved every second of this book and I really hope there is more to come.

Morgan is a 25yr old woman who would do anything to help her family, even marry a man she doesn't love, who is 30yrs older than her. To help her dad keep his business, she marries Vincent Brown or VB as he is known.

On the night of her wedding, she hears loud booms and doesn't where they are coming from. She goes to look and happens upon a library. As she goes to pull out a book, it opens a secret passage. She decides to check it out and walks down the stairs and sees her new husband speaking a foreign language and making sparks fly out of his fingers. After getting thoroughly freaked out, she runs up the stairs, grabs a pair of shoes and runs out the door.

Elliot Brown is the son of VB and a Nuclear Physicist that works with the Birds of Paradise Rescue Team. As he is coming home from a job, he looks around and sees the bathroom window broken. He slowly makes his way around the house and finds nothing disturbed. He calls out and out of his closet comes the beautiful Morgan with her fiery red hair.

After he calls in back up she explains the story of what she saw. They decide to make her a client and help her. She goes back home undercover and starts snooping around the house. She takes Elliot back to the dungeon lair. As they are coming back up the stairs, they find out he is back. Elliot leaves and Morgan sits reading a book, acting like all is normal.

Later that night Morgan sneaks out with Elliot and they have a romantic picnic in woods near the house. They heard a loud explosion, it was the van that had Elliot's team in it. Morgan makes her way in to find her husband and decides to head straight to the secret passage, only to thwarted by VB. He knew someone was against him but didn't think it was his new bride. He dragged her down the stairs and threw her onto the floor.

He had her tied up. Elliot came rushing in to stop him and realized it was a trap. Elliot realized he was going to die...


This book was really good and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. I want more. It was beautifully written and will capture your attention from the first sentence and hold it to the very end.
