This was a cute read but I definitely did not like it as much as the first book. The plot seemed different but also very similar to the original. I had hoped to have more banter in this one and written romantic exchanges in this book. I wanted to hear more about what happened to Cassie and how she was feeling after being turned. I want to know what happens long term between Reggie and Amelia. Overall, it was a light, cute read, but I had definitely expected and wanted more from this book. I’m really hoping there is another that ties everything together.

A big thanks to the author and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I had fun reading this story. I loved the first Novel and now the second one is enjoyable. Super fun, easy to read and engaging. I had a blast with the characters. They are enjoyable.

To say I was excited for “My Vampire Plus-One” is an understatement. Let me back up a bit last year I read “My Roommate is a Vampire!” And fell in love with it. It was on my top 10 of 2023. When I found out Reginald was getting his own book I was so excited and knew I would devour it. Thank you to Berkley for blessing me with an ARC. Best early Christmas present ever. Also because of this My coworkers probably thought I was crazy cause I legit squealed when I got the email.

Anyway back to the review “My Vampire Plus-One” is Reginald and Amelia story. They arrange a fake-dating agreement for mutually beneficial reasons. What neither character expects is to actually fall for one another. Reginald and Amelia’s immediate chemistry and understanding of each other is so freaking adorable. I was cheering for them the whole time.

I think the only part I struggled with was getting to know Amelia as a character. She’s vastly different from me and it took a little bit for her to come out of her shell. But once she did I could not stop saying her praises. And of course Reginald can do no wrong in my mind. He was my favorite side character in book 1 and having him as the lead in book 2 met all my expectations.

Also side note Even though this is Reginald and Amelia’s story we do get to see our favorite characters from book one making an appearance. I loved how Jenna intertwined them into the story and gave us an update on their lives.

I completely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and unique read.

Thank you Berkley Romance for the advanced copy.

I knew from the end of My Roommate is a Vampire that whatever chaos could come next would be thoroughly entertaining! This romance was so wholesome and such a radiant example of opposites attract! Thank you to Jenna Levine & Berkley Pub for this arc!

My Vampire Plus-One is my first time reading a book written by Jenna Levine. It was so much fun and is a cozy romantasy with quirky characters that go around being quirky. My Vampire Plus-One might not be for you if you require a deep plot. However, try this book for a fun read full of fluff and romance. I give My Vampire Plus One a solid 3.5/5.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for the opportunity to review My Vampire Plus-One. All opinions are my own.

I love quirky characters. I love awkward situations. I LOVE FAKE DATING OMFG. This book had it all for me.

Reggie is this super over the top, crazy character that I just adore. Amelia is an accountant, enough said. 🤣 I love that Jenna Levine through these two together, SO MUCH. I honestly should've known what to expect after reading My Vampire Roommate, and how quirky the Vampire was in that one as well.

I want to say, I feel as though weirdly if there were vampires, they'd be like Jenna Levine's vampires. Super old guys and gals that just have no idea what's going on half the time and are super over the top quirky. What're tax laws? What current style to fit in? Let's just wear a wild partially fur coat 🤣🤣

Grab this book, and if you haven't yet, grab her first book as well. This book revisits the characters in her original and will spoil some things if you want to read the first one.

Thank you so much netgalley and the author for a copy of this book to review!! I'm in love and cannot wait to get a physical copy.

This took the supernatural romance and took it in a unique way. The concept worked for me and I thought the romance element worked overall and was everything that I wanted and more. I enjoyed the tropes of this story and thought the overall story worked. I enjoyed the cover and that’s what drew me in. Jenna Levine has a great writing style and I wanted more.

I enjoyed this book even better than the 1st. Reggie was hilarious; more than once I found myself chuckling. I love how in love Reggie was with Amelia and the pair of them were really well matched. Their scenes were smoking hot! I did find the beginning dragged a little bit but then once it got going about 1⁄4 of the way through I was really hooked. The only thing I would change is having more chapters by Reggie so that we really got what he was feeling for Amelia sooner. Reggie was just such a fun character, I loved him so much. And I loved being able to see Frederick and Cassie again.

My Vampire Plus One is a charming fake-dating-turns-into-real-feelings story between Reggie, a sartorially unique and flamboyant vampire with a deep love of chaos, and Amelia, a human accountant with a penchant for spreadsheets and a rather demanding family. When Amelia accidentally promises to bring a date to her cousin's wedding, and Reggie needs a way to flee a weird vampire cult chasing him, fake dating seems like a simple solution. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the forced proximity of a snow storm heats things up. This was a delightful read!

Thank you to Netgalley, Berkeley Romance, and Jenna Levine for this eARC. This ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you have had the pleasure of reading My Roommate is a Vampire you already know this book could only be RIDICULOUSLY and UTTERLY CUTE. The book has 5 ⭐️ energy so don’t look to deep into my rating. I adore this series and think it’s the perfect palette cleanser read that will cure ANY book slump. This author makes vampires cute and funny versus how in many books they’re sexy, dark and broody.

I freakin love the fake dating trope!!! My favorite part is when they want to set rules like “no falling in love or no kissing” and I’m sitting here reading like mmmhhhmmmm whatever 🤭

Frederick the MMC is not only adorable but has a filthy mouth 🥵 I liked him so much!!! The FMC is an accountant and is all about her work so I enjoyed how he made her have fun and be happy. I was screaming when we got scenes and interactions with Frederick and Cassie from the previous book.. we are also introduced to some other new characters.

Overall thoughts: I really loved this book. It’s cute, funny and a lighthearted read.

Another incredible Jenna Levine novel that is fun, sexy, and pure escapism that I crave while reading paranormal romance.

Overall a quick and funny read, but maybe vampire romances aren’t for me because the whole “blood doesn’t pump through my body but I can get a raging hard on” just doesn’t make sense. Also some of the describing words during the spicy scenes were just…. Icky.

Hard working human who can’t find time for a love life vs vampire on the run from a group of vampires trying to attack him. Who knew the two of them, Amelia and Reginald would find each other one random night and then later agree to a fake dating relationship in order for them to get Amelia’s family off her back attending a family wedding and help keep Reginald undercover while staying lowkey. Read as Reginald’s funky personality and Amelia’s more serious personality blend together to create such a wonderful chemistry between the two of them while also uncovering the mystery of Reginald cleaves and the vampires who are on the hunt to find him. How can you not love a vampire romance x mystery novel?!

This book follows the story of Amelia Collins, a fiercely independent and successful woman, who is constantly harangued by her family about her lack of a love life. Determined to silence the nagging, she concocts a plan to bring a plus-one to an upcoming family wedding. Enter Reginald Cleaves, a charming and enigmatic stranger who, unbeknownst to Amelia, is a centuries-old vampire. Intrigued by Amelia's spunk and the prospect of furthering his ruse as a human, Reggie agrees to play the role of her boyfriend. As they navigate the wedding festivities, their fauxmance gradually transforms into something deeper. Amelia discovers that beneath Reggie's aloof exterior lies a heart of gold, while Reggie finds himself falling for Amelia's intelligence and kindness. Levine deftly interweaves humor and romance, creating a delightful and engaging read. Amelia's sarcastic wit and Reggie's deadpan delivery provide endless entertainment. The supporting cast of quirky and lovable characters, including Amelia's meddling family and Reggie's vampire coven, adds to the overall charm of the story. What sets 'My Vampire Plus-One' apart is its exploration of the themes of love, acceptance, and self-discovery. Amelia and Reggie's journey challenges societal expectations and preconceived notions about relationships. The novel encourages readers to embrace their individuality and seek happiness on their own terms. Overall, this book is a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying read that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. It's a perfect blend of romance, humor, and the supernatural, with characters that will stay with you long after you've finished the book.

After reading some heavier books this was the perfect palette cleanser!! I loved my roommate is a vampire and this companion novel did not disappoint. Jenna Levine’s writing is funny and charming, I can’t help falling in love with these characters.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
“My roommate is a Vampire” is technically the first book but they are interconnected standalones you meet Reginald in the first one so I recommend reading it first! 💕

I am giving this a 3.5 stars because I felt there was a few loose ends that never got tied up

Our FMC Amelia is just the cutest! 🥰She’s an accountant and absolutely loves her job but her parents really doesn’t understand what she does or how she finds any enjoyment it doing taxes. They are worried about her working so much and the fact she has a nonexistent love life. So she hatches a plan to fake date a guy to get her family off her back. Reggie has found himself being accused of an incident that happened centuries ago. So dating a human seems like a good way to hide. What could go wrong?
I love a good little rom-com paranormal romance! And this one did everything right! The banter, the tension, fake dating! this maybe a hot take but omg I love Reginald so much more than Frederick. Reggie and his bullet journal journey had me cracking me up! I also loved the fact that he was so interested in what she did as an accountant and he even found it hot 😉

I thought the first book in this series was cute, and this one is even better. It was nice to read Reggie’s story, and to see the characters from the first book still play a role.

Overall, cute and easy read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an ARC of this one! I absolutely adored My Roommate is a Vampire and was so excited to see that Reginald was getting his own story! I enjoyed it, but I think I like the first book better! But, if you want some humor, some ridiculousness and a little bit of spice then you will want to check this one out.

This book is perfect for fans of What We Do in the Shadows. It has the perfect blend of comedy, romance, and campiness.
I definitely recommend readers read My Roommate is a Vampire first, as characters and things that happened in that book are referenced in this book. That being said, I liked this book better than the first one. I loved Reggie as a character and felt like he and Amelia made such a great opposites attract combo. I liked how rough around the edges and unique Reggie was, yet his attraction and devotion to Amelia was clear. Amelia was written with such a great contrast to him, yet it worked. It was fun to read a book with a fake dating trope with vampires mixed into the plot.
I had only two issues with the book. First, things seemed to move a bit too fast from Amelia being scared of Reggie to trusting him implicitly. I would have preferred if it was worked up to a little more. And second, I felt like the things happening with Frederick and Cassie in the background were left open too much so they felt a little out of place. I’m hoping that was intentional to possibly lead into a third book.
4 stars, as hoping for future books set in the same world!

Jenna Levine has done it again. These old timey vampires are everything. The language, the outlandish clothes, the pining!!!

I loved it all. I’m ready for more from the author asap!!
