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!!

While I enjoyed the first book in this series, "My Roommate Is a Vampire," the book kind of fell apart at the conflict stage for me. Unfortunately, I pretty much feel the same about "My Vampire Plus-One." I just find it hard to believe that centuries old vampires are going to be taken down by the IRS or Tik Tok. I also was so excited about the snowed in at a cabin aspect and for that to be given and then taken away before anything really fun happens, was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the book. And I will likely continue to read the series if there are more books, but these books just leave me feeling a bit bereft and wanting more!

When the MMC showed up in a fedora, trench coat, and hot pink skirt, I can't lie; I was taken aback. If I had read My Roommate is a Vampire first, I would have understood Reginald's character better. I think Jenna Lavine's writing style isn't for me, but I can honestly see how others are into it!

Thank you to Berkely and NetGalley for the eARC!

i didn’t expect to love this as much as i did but oh my good lord in heaven u loved this!!! i was so giddy and obsessed. i can’t wait to reccomend this to everyone

*3.5 stars*

This was super cute! I will say I enjoyed the first one a bit more, I think just connected with the characters more and really loved how old school Freddie was. But these characters are super cute though!

I really loved the faking dating with a vampire that you don't realize is a vampire. But I will say some of the side plot about the people after Reggie was kind of slow and I didn't find that as interesting. The romance was cute but didn't feel quite as attached to them as Freddie and Cassie. I think they had a better build up. But overall, this was a fun, quirky one but I started to lose interest towards the end but that maybe was my mood as well. They're a good light hearted read!

after recently reading my roommate is a vampire, this follow up about reggie was everything that i wanted it to be! just as cute, fun, and humorous as the first one was. i loved getting to know reggie and amelia more, and that we still got updates on FJF and cassie without it feeling like it interrupted or took over reggie & amelia’s story. i loved that we got some segments written in reggie’s POV, so much so that i wish it had been more evenly balanced between his POV and amelia’s. the little excerpts of text messages and emails and book pages at the beginning of each chapter were still super fun (and funny!). these characters are so entertaining and i hope we get to see more of them in the future, or even some new characters in the same universe (without any spoilers, specifically i’d LOVE a book about a certain someone in Napa. iykyk).

i’m so glad i got the opportunity to read this, and i’m super excited for when it releases!

So happy I received this one, I adored My Roommate is a Vampire. This one did not disappoint and after reading My Roommate I absolutely hooked this one would be able Reginald. Him and Amelia’s fake dating turned immediate chemistry. They just click and understand eachother. Definitely a uniquely fun read i’d recommend.

This is the perfect Halloween book to sink your teeth into this October. I've been looking for a book that gets me into the spooky season and this is definitely it!

I loved the first one a whole lot and was SO excited that this was coming out. This was better than the first and I can’t wait to have it on my shelf as a trophy

Just plain FUN! Like My Roommate is a Vampire, My Vampire Plus-One has an almost campy feel. Getting to know Reggie, Amelia’s nerdy appeal as a skilled accountant, fake dating with vampire/human spicy romance? Yes, please! Is this book for everyone? Probably not. But if you’re looking for a fun escape to a world where sexy vampires exist, give Jenna Levine’s books a try! 5 stars for being a quick, humorous, spicy read.

This delightful romantic comedy had me laughing out loud multiple times and thoroughly enjoying the charming connection between the characters. Although I hadn't read the first book in this series, it didn't diminish my enjoyment of the story. In fact, after reading this one, I can't wait to pick up the first installment! Highly recommend for a fun and heartwarming read.

OMG!!!! I loved this follow up book, it was so worth reading I was literally so entranced in this book I read it in 1 day because I needed to know what was going to happen. There is a mystery, romance, and some of the best banter. I will be making sure we get this book. Thanks for letting me read this book

Thank you NetGalley, Berkley Publishing Group, and Jenna Levine for an advanced readers copy of My Vampire Plus-One in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved My Roommate is a Vampire and My Vampire Plus-One did not disappoint. Jenna Levine is quickly becoming an author for me where, "if she writes it, I'm going to read it" is 100% in effect.

In My Vampire Plus-One, we follow Amelia, an accountant with little room for anyone or anything in her life aside from her job. In order to get her parents to back off asking her about her love life and with her cousins wedding coming up, X tells her parents that she in fact has a boyfriend. After a chance encounter with Reggie where she helps him out of a sticky situation, she proposes he act as her fake boyfriend as a way to pay her back. As they spend more time together and get closer, it's hard to tell what's real, and what's just a part of this arrangement they've made.

Things this book contained that I loved:
- Fake-dating (duh)
- He falls first
- Reggie being an absolute shameless flirt
- Callbacks to "My Vampire Is A Roommate"
- Fredrick still being embarrassed about his fruit summoning abilities

And it also felt like we could be setting up for a third book with Grizelda as our new FMC?? If so, I cannot wait. 10/10 I loved it!

This was such a fun read!

This book is interconnected with the authors first book, ‘My Roommate Is A Vampire’, which I haven’t read *yet* but it didn’t take away from the story. It was all very easy to follow, so you could read it as a standalone. I do think reading the first would have helped with adding a little more background though so it wouldn’t hurt to start there.

This rom com had me laughing out loud, its light and fluffy, just what I was needing. Reggie and Amelia couldn’t be more different. Reggie is very impulsive and outrageous whereas, Amelia is type A to the MAX. Which I think is what makes them so good together and their CHEMISTRY?! Swoon. Was it super spicy? No. This is more of a sweet slow burn but it does make its way *there*.

What I didn’t LOVE was the ending. It felt rushed and it took away from the climax, I was looking for more of a challenge.

Overall, this was a fun and quick read that will have you laughing the whole time.
