Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC! The start of this book was slow for me and it took a while to get into it. I really enjoyed the past timelines where it showed the original love story. The ending was absolutely adorable and sets the stage to have a continuation of the story but with other characters' romances.

To me this was an okay read. I liked some part of this, but didn't like some parts. It was a fun fantasy read with a touch of romance - I wish there was more romance.

It was action packed, smart, and predictable (to me). The love story was sweet and I saw their chemistry. The final battle was lackluster and a little disappointing with everything turning out too perfectly.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book!

This book was a lot of fun to read and I found myself speeding through it. It was very Mr. and Mrs. Smith but that is exactly what I loved about it.

I loved the idea that both sides were wrong and evil when it got down to their leaders. I would be very much interested in reading a sequel to find out what happens next!

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. This book is fun! The magic does lose me a little bit but I like reading about the connection and pull they had to each other from the beginning. Griffin and savvy are so cute together and I just loved the ending!
The plot twists were so interesting!

I absolutely adored this book. Like everyone is saying, it is a retelling of Mr & Mrs. Smith with a mystery/paranormal aspect. I love that more and more bisexual characters are being written into books. As much as this book is like the movie, it is very different in a lot of ways. I loved the support of Savvy & Griffin's family and friends. It was more realistic and relatable. Gwenda Bond's writing style was truly enjoyable. I found myself unable to put it down at 12am, which meant I was up reading until 2:30 once again. I will definitely be recommending this book for those look for a light cozy read.

I found I didn't care for this at all. I was a good idea and set up but overall, it felt too commercial to me.

Very fun, cute read! I love the movie Mr. And Mrs. Smith so I was super hyped for this book! And it was a good read! This book universe was really fun and exciting!

What happens when your bosses suddenly crash your wedding and all hell breaks loose? For the Professor and the Goddess you figure it out.

A beautiful start to a series.

When you come upon an author that makes reading fun, you find every book every series and binge. I am excited to binge read Gwenda Bond. Please write more of this series.

Just so inanely fun and smart and witchy. I love Gwenda Bond and she just knows how to write just a fun new take on romance with jut the most fun concepts. Thank you to SMP for the advanced copy

I've never read a book like this before, but I loved it so much. The different POVs, flashbacks, witchiness, Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibes...and all so well executed! I totally loved it, and I will definitely be revisiting it in future witchy reading seasons. I'll be watching Gwenda Bond to see if any of the side characters in this book get their own story in the future - I'd read it in a second!

Are you looking for a quick reading para-normal romance? Then you are in luck when reading Mr. & Mrs. Witch which riffs off the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith with its own twists. The book opens with a wedding where Savannah Wilde and Griffin Carter discover that they are on opposing sides of a centuries-old conflict. Savannah the witch is tasked by Mother Circe, the head of C.R.O.N.E., with taking out her husband-to-be while Griffin is tasked by the Butcher, head of H.U.N.T.E.R., to take out his bride-to-be. There is a fun confrontation at the house they share which includes a knife scene that seems an Easter egg to the movie before mercs force them to work together. Will the two of them figure out what is going on before it is too late for everyone an a general fight between the two groups breaks out? Gwenda Bond paces the book nicely with chapters set in the present time and chapters set in earlier times that flesh out details just in time for character development and plot enhancement. A very fun read!

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read this title!

This is my second Gwenda Bond book and I don’t think they’re for me. I love the idea but I find myself wandering away and not staying engaged. Wish I knew what it was exactly that causes this. I really wanted to love this one!

So. Very. CHEESY. And I love cheesy things, but this was way too much! And all the 'witchy' puns and acronyms, this really just felt like it was trying way too hard to be cool. This book was a struggle from start to 20% where I called it quits and dnf'ed it.

And ok, her name is Savannah and her nickname is Savvy, so she's constantly being called Savvy by everyone and I can only hear Jack Sparrow saying Savvy in my head every time I read her name I just CANT ANYMORE

Thanks NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the opportunity to read this *gestures broadly* thing

DNF. While the plot sounded good, the writing style did not appeal to me. I might give this another go, but for now, it's a no from me.

I received an arc on NetGalley for an honest review. If you are looking for a magical Mr. & Mrs. Smith then this is for you. Savvy is a member of an organization that keeps magic hidden and in balance but her soon to be husband knows nothing about this. Griffin is a professor and witch hunter, also Savvy’s fiancé. Witches and hunters aren’t supposed to get along with each other and definitely not marry. So what happens when the two discover each other’s secret. A race to eliminate on another for the good of their organizations. But what if there are other things at play, can their love survive. I enjoyed this story but was not a fan of all the time jumps. The majority of them was to give you their background on how they got together. They were interesting but drew me out of the action that was taking place. I understood why when I got to the end of the book why some of them were there. All and all I liked it.

Really enjoyed the plot of this it's unique! The world building was cool and really enjoyed the couple and even side characters (normally don't care for them). This is my third and fave book of Gwenda's I think it's her best yet! You could even turn this into a series the world had even more to expand on and potential with other characters love stories!

This book is Mr & Mrs Smith meets witches and magic. I loved this action packed spy thriller of a magical romance and couldn’t put this book down. I wasn't sure just how I’d feel as this book isn’t my usual brand of romance but page after page I was hooked on the incredible story, characters, and magical elements at play. This book was incredible and I highly recommend reading it!

I received a free advanced review copy of this novel and am offering my honest opinion voluntarily.

I absolutely adored this book! The story follows Savvy (and her family) who are witches and Griffin (and his family) who are hunters of the supernatural but now they have to assassinate EACH OTHER. However nothing can stop them from falling in love. This book has dual POVs and flashbacks which helps you understand them more and I’m absolutely here for it. I cannot recommend this book enough,

This is a prime example of a book giving out major metaphorical blue balls. Whenever anything fun and action packed (ex: fight scenes against enemies) starts to takes place, it's literally over in just a a paragraph or switching to the past timeline. Blink and you'll miss it.

The past chapters should've been cut down since half of them didn't really add anything to enhance the story. They did nothing for the romance. The pacing and tone were inconsistent especially with the odd jokes thrown throughout. Having a POV from their pet was super weird. History of the coven and hunters weren't really given until almost 70% in. By then, I lost interest. All the details should've been given in the first quarter. The ending? Another poof and gone moment.

There was so much potential here but it kept missing the mark where it could've shined. Also, it was pointed out that she's actually taller than him and doesn't like to wear heels. Now look at the book cover. lol




Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a copy for an honest review.

Calling the witch agency “C.R.O.N.E.” is SO clever. Gwenda Bond, you are a GENIUS.

Unbeknownst to each other, Savvy is an agent for C.R.O.N.E. (Covert Responses to Occult Nightmares by Enchantresses), and Griffin is an agent for H.U.N.T.E.R. (Humans Undertaking Nocturnal Terror and Evil Reduction). On their wedding day, it is revealed that Savvy is a witch and Griffin is a hunter, and safe to say, neither of them take it well.

<i>Mr. & Mrs. Witch</i> by Gwenda Bond was a delightful read. Yes, it is based off of <i>Mr. & Mrs. Smith</i>, but the supernatural elements elevate it, and it becomes its own creation.

The love story between Savvy and Griffin is sweet. These characters have so much chemistry. Even while fighting, it is never doubted they love and trust each other. I appreciated how quickly (but not too quickly!) they made amends and started to work together.

At times, it felt like the story was afraid to go too far. Savvy and Griffin took the high ground often, meaning they were reluctant to eliminate very real threats or they easily forgave grievous wrongs. While in some instances it paid off, in others, it felt like the characters got away with their harmful actions way too easily.

The antagonists’ motivations were weak, and the final battle was lackluster. It was presented as a mystery, but it was apparent what was happening. Predictability is not a bad thing, but to watch two very clever characters be so clueless was frustrating, especially because their inner monologues spelled it out for the reader.

The supporting characters made this book. Savvy and Griffin’s support systems were so convivial and wholesome. Even the wacky familiars are charming.

A personal highlight: Griffin always let Savvy shine. She was no damsel, and he accepted that she was stronger without a fuss. This automatically made Griffin a forever-favorite book boyfriend.

<i>Mr. & Mrs. Witch</i> is a page-turner. The incorporation of common lore and caricatures was entertaining. Gwenda Bond built an immersive world that I would love to explore. I only have one question: Brie and Diego’s book when?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
