Savannah is ready to marry the love of her life, Griffin, but she's keeping a massive secret from him: she's a powerful witch. Griffin's also keeping a secret: he's part of an organization that used to hunt witches, but now shuts down supernatural threats. Everything's okay though, until their wedding day when both of their identities are revealed to each other...and they're ordered to take the other out.
What I liked the most about Mr. and Mrs. Witch was that the book truly flew by (no pun intended)! I didn't want to put it down and I could easily see it becoming a series.
What I didn't like about it was...SPOILER WARNING....they came back together really quickly after being discovered and I would have liked for that to have been drawn out a little bit more. Maybe I wanted a little bit more of a fight or anger between them? But they seemed to forgive each other pretty quickly. It worked out overall within the novel, but I could have gone for another chapter of trying to figure it out.
If I had seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith, then I would definitely recommend this book for someone who loved this movie...but I haven't seen that movie so I have no idea if that's accurate. However, if you love contemporary rom coms and contemporary witch books, you'll enjoy this one.

It's a Mr. and Mrs. Smith with magic, and not as much of a pre-established romance/relationship. Overall, it was good, but the rivalry between the two didn't really make that much sense as their agencies were in direct opposition that at least one of them would know who the other was. I enjoyed the world-building of the agencies and the history of how they came to be. The main characters were a bit job defined so their personalities didn't shine through much. It's enjoyable but not my favorite.

The premise of this book was so cute, and the witchy vibes were great! The cover is fantastic. Overall, this was a super fun read. The characters were entertaining, and I absolutely loved the familars.
It was a magical, wild ride all the way through. I really enjoyed reading this book and will be adding more books by Gwenda Bond to my tbr.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mr. & Mrs. Witch felt like Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets the lovable magical comedy of Bewitched. The actual romance and interaction between our main characters lived up to the premise presented in the book's blurb. It all started to fall apart for me in the flashbacks. They felt a bit chaotic, and they always interrupted the action in a way that made me just want to get back to the moments between Griffin and Savannah.

This was a cute romance with a supernatural take on the Mr and Mrs. Savvy and Griffin, unfortunately, find out the truth about each other on their wedding day which leads to chaos, confusion and assassination attempts. A witch cannot marry a hunter but Savvy and Griffin can't bring themselves to hurt each other either. their instinct in a fight is to protect each other from those who are trying to kill them.
The side characters are fun and I loved the familiars in the story.
The story jumped timelines a lot so the reader gets to see how the couple met and fell in love. The mystery part didn't really hold my attention that well but there was a lot of drama and action that entertained me all the way to the conclusion.

Not one of my favorite romance reads. I do love witchy reads this one fell a little flat for me personally at points. It was a good read it just was a book I honestly was easily able to put down and pick back up again when I had the time,

I loved the premise and the story and the characters and the magic in this book. However, I did struggle with the first-person present tense storytelling. The story kept me reading, but it did take about the first 1/3 of the book for me to settle in to full enjoyment. I do hope to see a Brie and Diego book in the future.
4.5 stars

This is a fun supernatural version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Savvy is a witch and Griffin hunts witches. They find out at their wedding. It was a quick read and I enjoyed it.

Thanks to St Martins Press and Netgalley for this advanced copy.
What a fun little romp! Think Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but she's a witch and he hunts them. They figure out they might be sworn enemies at the wedding and hijinks ensue.
Savvy and Griffin are hot for each other and pissed off that they might just have to kill each other instead of walking down the aisle. It's a great premiss and the characters are a lot of fun. It has the perfect level of witchiness and the side characters were also fun. Can't wait to read more from Gwenda Bond!

A big thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book is reminds me of a paranormal version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I didn't really like the back and forth with the past. It was sort of annoying. I didn't like Savvy's mom at all. I did like the other characters. Not sure if this is a series. 3.5 stars.

I liked the premise of this book, and to be honest, I really liked the cover, which is the main reason I picked it up. Similar to the author’s other books, Mr. and Mrs. Witch is chaotic and fun and definitely leans towards escapism for the reader.
Full disclosure, the previous books I’ve read by the author were 3 star reads for me. They were just a bit too chaotic, and I felt thrown into the world and characters with no idea of what was going on… and it stayed that way throughout the books. This book sounded like such a fun take on Mr. and Mrs. Smith that I had to try it, though! Unfortunately, I ran into the same issues. Things start off with a bang, and while there are crazy, chaotic moments that lead to laughs and fun, and sometimes meaningful, interactions between characters, I never felt like I completely understood what was happening. The two opposing agencies, the families, even our two MCs, just never really connected for me. I still enjoyed the book, and Savvy and Griffin were both fun MCs that I was rooting for the entire way, but overall things fell a bit flat. All that to say, this is another 3 star read for me, and maybe this author just isn’t my cup of tea. But maybe she’s yours.
I think it’s safe to say that a Gwenda Bond read is going to be a wild, fun, and crazy ride, so if that’s your thing, check this out!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy of this arc. All opinions are my own.

This was such a fun read. I think it was the perfect book for the fall even though it was published this spring. It was light, sweet, and just a quick romance read!

This was so fun and I absolutely loved it! A witchy Mr. & Mrs. Smith? Yes, please. The action was just non-stop with this one and I loved every minute, even as the action got crazier and crazier. A house with chicken legs? Insane. But overall, this book was delightful and I'd definitely recommend it to those that like romantic suspense, witchy rom-coms and the like.

When a the bride, a witch, and the groom, a witch hunter, find out at the altar that they are from very different sides of the fence very odd things start to happen. Just when they think they are done with each other forever a dangerous mission throws them back together.
I had never read this author before this book and absolutely loved her writing. This book had just the right amount of snark and spice to keep me wanting more. Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. Definitely a 5 out of 5 stars for me.

Mr & Mrs Witch was a fun, light, cozy read. While the stakes weren't exactly low, the characters and story felt so heartwarming and believable. I was rooting for a happy ending, even when it wasn't clear where the plot was headed.
The story, a loose retelling of Mr & Mrs Smith, but instead as witch/witch-hunter operatives was creative and entertaining to read. I enjoyed the themes of mutual deceit and trust, found family, and fate. The only negative was that I found the pacing and jumping between timelines a little confusing at times, and wish we got a bit more depth into the side characters.
All in all, this was a great read and I would recommend it.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book was everything it promised to be. A unique homage to the movie it's loosely based on, but it was so fun. I loved the acronyms for each agency C.R.O.N.E and H.U.N.T.E.R and that the book opened at the wedding and the big reveal. I feel like I also recall a little reference to The Godfather, which made me laugh outloud.
I have always loved this movie and wanted more novels to have this kind of style, so I was immediately sold. Bond's writing is funny and fresh, though I sometimes found the flashbacks took me out a little bit or were maybe too frequent. Overall this was a very fun and quick read, and I am looking for more. I would love more books in this universe from some of the other hunters/witches perspective. The side characters added so much enjoyment, especially some of Griffin's friends.

“You have never been the good guys. You’re like the so-called good guys who mess with women’s heads and think rom-com stalking is sexy and who are actually the villains.”
It is pouring here today, so of course we’re going to stay in and snuggle all day. @nutpods sent over White Chocolate creamer that I had to test out. (Spoiler: I highly approve) But the best news is I finally finished Mr. & Mrs. Witch!
There is a lot going on in the book, but the flashbacks were perfectly timed. I felt like I understood their relationship so well, and still didn’t feel like it muddled the present. I almost felt like this journey could have been two books in a series, but I’m so glad it was one fun and enjoyable book.
This sense of community and unity in the end.. I may have teared up a little. I really loved this unique cast of characters and all their familiars. I could easily see this on the big screen and it really just proves why Gwenda Bond knows how to write a cheeky romcom. Thank you @smpromance, Mr. & Mrs. Witch is out now!

Cute story with a fun premise, I read it in one night!
Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

Cute book! I loved the movie Mr and Mrs Smith and this book reminded me of it soooo much! But with witchy vibes! It was overall a good book

Cute supernatural reimagining of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. If you are looking for something light and fluffy if not a little fantastical at some points this is a great book for that. Maybe I'm getting prudish in my old age, but the bedroom scenes were just a little too uh...detailed for my taste. Fortunately there are only a couple and that's not what this book is centered on. Fun, wild ride with a good ending.
