Thank you to Macmillan/St. Martin’s Griffin for sending me an ARC of this title. I received this copy for free and this review contains my honest opinions. 

 

Witchy romances are quickly becoming my thing. Since 2021 I’ve enjoyed and stayed caught up on The Witches of Thistle Grove series by Lana Harper and the Supernatural Singles series by April Asher. I’d even add the Dangerous Damsels series by India Holton into this category, since it has the same lighthearted and humorous tone and there ARE witches in them. 

 

While I haven’t seen the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith which inspired this book (as mentioned by the author here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4947889009?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1) - and therefore can’t attest to how similar Mr. & Mrs. Witch is - this book was so much fun to read and I finished it in pretty much one sitting. The cast of characters were engaging, the dialogue excellent, the plot entertaining, and the overall mood lighthearted and sweet. At first I wasn’t excited about the dual timelines (one for the present and one for how Savvy and Griffin got to the present), but I’m glad I got to read how their relationship developed. There were a few plot choices that weren’t my favorite, but nothing major enough to detract from my overall reading experience. 

 

I think the author really hit her stride with this one: this was a great introduction to the world and now that we’ve met a whole host of other characters I hope to see this turn into a series. Thank you again to the publisher for sending me a free ARC.
