This is a retelling of Mr and Mrs Smith but with witches! It’s super fun and quirky. A powerful witch falls for her weekly professor. They secretly work for opposing sides as spys. But they have to either come together and work as a team or kill eachother. This is a pretty cute book, and I love the added supernatural world.
"Savannah Wilde is a witch, a very powerful one—an identity that only her fellow witches know. Following a whirlwind romance that surprised herself and her family, Savvy is all set to marry the love of her life. But she isn’t the only one with a secret that needs to be kept, even from her soon-to-be husband.
Griffin Carter is a top agent for a clandestine organization that, well, used to primarily hunt witches, but now mainly tries to shut down supernatural threats their own way. He can’t wait to lay his eyes on the woman he’s about to spend the rest of his life with."
A witchy Mr and Mrs Smith, enemies to lovers, sweet and nerdy MCs = SIGN ME UP! A perfect fall story.
I was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley sending me a free eARC. All of the statements above are my own opinions.
This was such a cute book! I loved the relationship between Savy and Griffin! The book has some spice but I would say only a 1.5 🌶️. Such a great plot twist. There was just enough stakes that it kept me interested thanks to the flipping between the beginning on their relationship and current events! And Harris’ POV was adorable!
This is my first book from Gwenda Bond and I feel like I've been missing out! This book had Bewitched vibes, and I really enjoyed it!
Kind of like a paranormal Mr and Mrs smith.
Savvy is a witch and griffin is a witch hunter.
They find at the alter during their wedding. Soon they are both tasked with killing each other but there's more going on then they know.
This negative review is more on me than anyone else. I should have checked who the author was after reading the synopsis...before clicking request. Gwenda Bond's characters and writing are just not my cup of tea. I attempted to read 'Not Your Average Hot Guy' and couldn't get through it. If I'd noticed that this book was also by the same author I never would have requested it.
I did try to give this one a fair shot and I liked it more than Bond's previous work, though still not enough to push through. I DNF'd at 30%.
I know other people enjoy her work and I'm sure if you liked her other books, you'd like this one. Just not for me.
This was so well written. I was engrossed from the first page and it ticked all the boxes of my expectations. The character development was excellent. I would definitely recommend to others, a must read!
This book started out with a bang but lost it's way somewhere in the middle.It took me longer to read it than I was expecting. I don't think I connected with the characters like I should have.
Mr. & Mrs. Witch
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Author: Gwenda Bond
GR: 3.61
I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.
My Thoughts: In typically do not care for fantasy books, not my genre. However, throw a witch and some magic, and I am in! This duo, each powerful in their own agency, and secretive agencies. The swoonest relationship to end in a wedding kicks off the beginning of a nightmare that will take power from within to get through. This would be a perfect read anytime of the year, but especially at Halloween.
The story is a dual narration. Savy is a very independently strong witch. Griffin is a compassionate witch hunter. This was more than a romance. It had a fantasy element. An action element. A mystery element. And a swoony romance element. The characters were developed well. The chemistry and witty banter between the characters was fantastic and added to the novel. The author’s writing style was magical, swoony, humorous, and creative.
I enjoyed this story and would recommend for other readers. Even if you do not like fantasy, I would give this one a try. I am hoping there will be a book two involving Diego and Brie.
This was a super cute and fun witchy romance with a kind of enemies to lovers feel. I loved the connection between Savannah and Griffin. You could feel their electricity instantaneously. Though parts of the book were a little slow, overall this was an enjoyable read. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC.
Whats better than a secret organization that polices dark and mis-used magic? Two secret organizations that police magic. And better than two organizations? A bitter fued that has spanned the centuries since the Salem witch trials. And better than a feud? How about our two main characters who are about to be married belonging to each of the organizations and not knowing that the other is also involved. But when the truth comes out, each is given a task... take out the other. I loved this paranormal spin on Mr. And Mrs. Smith. I also really liked the way the narrative jumped from the present day to their past encounters as they were recalling them! A definite recommend. I cant get enough of Savvy and Griffin. Hopefully they make a cameo if the author decides to branch out with other characters!
I received this book for free from Netgalley for an honest review.
Witchy vibes and action in spades! Great just read. I'm glad I got to read it.
Mr. & Mrs. Witch has a Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibe, but I was here for it. Savvy and Griffin have no idea until their wedding day that they are supernatural enemies. Savannah is a witch, Griffin is a witch hunter. This all comes out in a hilarious way and leads them down the path of figuring out what is truly going on (it's way more than just being supernatural enemies!).
Savvy and Griffin makes such a great pair, and even when they are on opposites sides you can feel their chemistry. There is plenty of action, and the plot moves quickly. Mr. & Mrs. Witch was so hard to put down!
This paranormal romance follows Savannah and Griffin. The two had a whirlwind romance and are getting ready to get married. The day is going perfectly until their secret identities are revealed - Savannah is a witch and Griffin is a witch hunter. The two are tasked by their governing agencies to eliminate the other, but when they find an even bigger secret, they have to team up in order to survive. I enjoyed this read but I wish I had a better sense of who Savannah and Griffin were as individuals and as a couple before the inciting incident. We do get flashbacks of significant moments in their relationship sprinkled throughout the current plot line but it wasn't enough for me. I think this world was really well built out and I would have enjoyed this as a duology so we could see the world even more as well as seeing Savannah and Griffin's relationship. This story took a turn to sort of romantic suspense which I wasn't expecting but very much enjoyed.
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the ARC. Publication date was March 7, 2023
This was a lighthearted and magical approach to a love story. The side characters always gave me a laugh and the strength of the women witches was awesome. There are definitely some cute and spicy scenes scattered throughout that any romance lover will enjoy!
I think I would’ve loved this book much more if I knew what Mr. and Mrs. smith was, lol!! This read like a knock off version of The Ex Hex or The Kiss Curse — and I loved both of those books. So I was disappointed and by 10% in decided to DNF. Thanks anyway for the ARC! Others who know/love Mr. and Mrs. Smith will definitely find this more enjoyable.
Mr. & Mrs. Witch is a fun witchy take on the iconic movie, but Gwenda Bond does a great job making it her own with the supernatural part! The romance was sweet and I really enjoyed the entire cast of characters. It was very plot driven and had more lore than I expected, but it was a fun world to be in! I definitely recommend this if you like witchy romances with strong female characters!
I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Mr. & Mrs. Witch was such a fun story. Savvy was a spunky character who didn't back down from a fight. Griffin and Savvy were a great couple together. The storyline flowed well and the characters were ones I cheered for. It was such a great read and I think a lot of people would enjoy Mr. & Mrs. Witch
This book was pretty good, but I didn't really like the tense that it was written in (more a personal preference than anything). The story was good, and the plot was pretty fast-paced. I liked how the story was told in dual timelines; it made the chemistry between the characters more real, and gave the audience more of a sense of who the characters are. Overall, I'd recommend this book if you enjoy witchy rom-coms!
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book!
A magical take on Mr. & Mrs. Smith. This book was such a fun book! It held my interest all the way through and I loved the characters.
