This book wasn’t for me. I was not hooked from the beginning. I don’t think witch books are my forte so I should have taken that into consideration when applying.

Magic, battles, debating agencies and covert identities combine perfectly in Ms. Bond's bewitching new novel, MR. & MRS. WITCH. Starring Savanah Wilde, a powerful witch who works with an undercover agency that keeps the world safe from magic. She is to wed Griffin Carter, a top notch agent of a secretive order. After a whirlwind romance, they are about to get married, without knowing each other's true identities. Chaos explodes at the alter and their true forms are revealed. What happens next?

Griffin and Savannah are intensely attracted to one another. Their love is tested when they both return to their homes, reorganize, battle a shake down of the highest order and learn the leaders of their councils have put a bounty on their heads. Plus, they are ordered to kill each other but at what cost? They each have devoted their life to their factions. Is there more at stake? Savannah and Griffin discover a plot that is hundreds of years in the making. Who is involved? Is their a two-faced trickster in the midst? Will love win out?

MR. & MRS. WITCH is an entertaining, amusing and disarming story filled with all things magical. Savannah is a mighty powerful witch and Griffin is a highly trained hunter operative. There agencies have battled against one another for years. They each kept their identities secret but all is revealed at the alter. Pandemonium reigns supreme, each are given strict orders to wipe out each other, but inklings of a dastardly plot sink in, but why? What happened? Who is behind it? Macho, manly Griffin and beautiful, buxom Savannah haven't a clue but are determined to uncover the devious, detailed deed. This is a spirited, vengeful, sizzling story with heat. This is a supernatural shakedown you don't want to miss!

A fantasy version of Mr & Mrs Smith...oh my GAWD YES PLEASE. I literally loved this book so much. It was perfection. I'm looking forward to rereading this book

REVIEW FOR MR. AND MRS. WITCH

4 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, SMPRomance, and Gwenda Bond for the gifted copy!

This witchy take on Mr. and Mrs. Smith was super cute! I loved getting to know this witchy world. This was the first book I read for Gwenda Bond and I already went and added the others to my list as I really enjoyed her writing!

Things I liked:
- Witch vs. Hunter
- love the way familiars were addressed
- good balance of spice and adventure
- this was very plot driven and less character development

Things that I didn't enjoy:
- I would have liked to learn more about the different types of magic in this world. Different species were mentioned throughout the story, but the strengths of witches weren't elaborated
- it was so plot driven it was a lot to digest as it was constantly on the go
- it did get confusing at times
- also? the cover creeped me out lol. I think they could have done a better job with it. Looking at her other covers they're so fun, and I think the illustration

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. If you like romcoms with a witchy twist and a side of action, this is definitely for you.

It's Mr and Mrs Smith meet Samantha and Darren Stevens in a witch-hunter group. A wedding that is a complete disaster, relatives who all know better and supernatural hunters who just want a prize. What a great book!
Thank you NetGalley for providing this copy. The opinion here is solely my own.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I was a little confused by the chapter breakdowns, but it started to make sense very quickly. The plot twists never ended, keeping me engaged the whole time I was reading. I love Savvy and Griffin! Their story is one that I’ll remember.

I thoroughly enjoyed this action packed fantasy romance thriller! It was a fun and entertaining read.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Adore this action-packed, emotionally thrilling, dangerously clever magical adventure! This is a sweetly sexy, heart-racing and exciting journey filled with engaging charters, witty dialog, unexpected twists, thrilling passion and lots of magical goodness.

It's Bewitched meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith when a witch and a hunter's secret identities are revealed just as they reach the altar. Hurt and angry, they do what witches and hunters do: fight. But it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems, and they must work together to right an old wrong and save their future. This witchy romantic adventure had me on the edge of my seat and then falling off my chair laughing by turns! Our lead's are equally appealing together and apart, and they're surrounded by loyal and hilariously colorful friends and family. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with all of them and highly recommend Mr. and Mrs. Witch for fun and swoony read. My thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars = Great! Might re-read.

This was fun! I enjoyed the rival-spies-in-love plot, and the characters are great. The author uses time jumps to keep the reader in the action while filling in some of the background of the romance - and it works really well. I would definitely read more stories from this world - I found myself wanting more details on the world as I read this. There's a fun friend group here that could lead to spin off stories. Good for fans of romance stories with a side of fantasy/magic. (Language, sex - Magical elements include spells, broomsticks, familiars, glamours, necromancy.)

3.5 stars

This was a fun one, and although I don't think I've seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I've seen clips of it and I know the general story. This was absolutely a nod to that movie and I loved the spin that the author took on the story to create the two spy organizations in the supernatural world. The story was told in flashbacks to how their relationship developed and what happened during the wedding when their identities were revealed and it all went to pot. Overall, I thought this worked quite well and it showed us that their relationship was real despite what had to feel like a betrayal when everything came crashing down. Overall, I liked the side characters, especially Griffin's parents, as well as Saavy's best friends and Diego as well.

The sex scenes were fine and obviously showed the attraction between the two of them, but the writing just made me laugh--it read kind of like a juvenile's wet dream. It often pulled me out of the fact that they were all fighting for their lives and for a better future, and often took place when their friends and family were waiting for them to get it out of their system so they could plan the next steps. It was just kind of odd and pulled one out of the action.

Overall, this was a quick read (I read it in one sitting) and it was silly fun and just what I needed as a break after several long and serious reads. If you enjoy lighthearted spy adventures with some romance thrown in, or you're already a fan of this author, you'll probably enjoy this one.

I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Slow in the beginning and sometimes the switching to the past does break up the story but I had fun reading this!
A second chance romance of 2 agents from opposite sides of thought (one technical the other magic) and rival companies are on the cusp of getting married when their occupations are revealed and chaos ensues.
The action does picks up and the little twists and turns made it fun and entertaining.
The familiars are great, nothing like a good looks can be deceiving action.
Do love a nerdy professor type who is also savvy sexy man of mystery. All in all a fun, weekend read.

I loved this delightful book, it’s a fun supernatural story.
Savannah (Savvy) is a powerful witch. She keeps that fact under wraps. She has a whirlwind relationship with Griffin, and they decide to get married. Savvy has no intention of telling her husband she’s a witch.
Griffin is an agent for a secret organization that goes after witches and other supernatural beings. He was raised to believe that witches are horrible. Griffin has no intention of telling Savvy about this job.
When the wedding arrives, their identities are revealed and they’re ordered to take the other one out. Something isn’t quite right, and they have to join together so they both can survive.
I loved this well written and entertaining book, 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

This definitely had Mr and Mrs Smith vibes just with magic! I loved Savvy! She was a fun character. The romance between her and Griffin was awesome. The steam was great. I loved the story and didn't expect the twist at the end. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! It keeps me entertained and I didn’t want to stop reading! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Griffin and Savvy were such fun characters to get involved with and I appreciated that they started out as a couple because it allowed for the book to be a lot more fun than some other books can get. It's really unique because it's almost like an enemies to lovers but they're already lovers...who discover they're enemies. The inclusion of the flashbacks was a great way to learn more about them and their relationship. I'm not usually a fan of third person POV but I think it worked well with this story.

This is a cute rom com that was so much fun. The book bounces back and forth in the timeline to tell the tale.

The story begins on Savvy's wedding day to Griffin. However, there is something that Griffin doesn't know - Savvy is a witch and an agent of a magical group called CRONE. But Griffin has his own secret - he's an agent of the government group HUNTER, whose sole purpose is to find and eliminate magical entities. Those agencies are completely at odds with each other and both Griffin and Savvy find out the truth right before the ceremony. Neither of them are happy about the news and chaos ensues.

Through a series of flashbacks, we are shown the history of their relationship, which started with a chance encounter in London, where they were both on missions.

In the present, they do their best to get rid of each other. Is there any way to rekindle the spark of love?

This was a really fun twist of Mr & Mrs Smith with a paranormal vibe!

Savvy is a powerful witch working with the secret group CRONE to maintain balance in the magic world. When she falls in love with Griffin, she knows that she will have to hide this part of her from him. Little does she know that Griffin is a human who works with HUNTER, a secret group that keeps humans safe from magic. The two groups are enemies of each other, and both of their secret identities come out at the worst time possible: as they are heading to the alter to marry.

This book had all the scorching chemistry, and it had all the magic and mystery of a Supernatural episode. The characters, the familiars, and the intrigue of figuring out exactly how we made it to this point was an exciting ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. It was everything I loved about Mr & Mrs Smith but better because of the paranormal vibe that I love.

Thanks to St Martins Griffin and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

This was a fun book to read. The concept of witches and hunters ridding the world of evil to keep the humans safe. The witches coven group is called C.R.O,N.E. and the other is H.U.N.T.E.R. They.ve know about each others existence but absolutely despise each other. Little did they know that Savvy and Griffin were the next to take up the head of each group. The truth comes out at their wedding but also so many strange things. It's up to a select few to figure it out and fix it. It was a battle of good and evil with the help of people who were in the middle. Loved the ending!

Well! This was for sure an interesting take on the movie Mr and Mrs. Smith!

I of course loved the movie when I watched it so when I read the premise of this book I had many many high hopes. While it did stay true to the original in many ways, I loved the magical twist the author took to make it her own.

Witch books are my guilty pleasure and I was definitely entertained from beginning to end wondering just what would happen and whether or not the main characters would find their way back to each other as the characters in the movie did.
