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.

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.

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.
