Thank you to the publisher for the gifted e-copy.

I don't know what it is about these books, but they just make me giggle. I love Reggie as much as I loved Frederick, with his little quirks and idiosyncrasies. The bullet journal entries were so funny yet so sweet. I loved the peek inside Reggies mind. HIs chats with his bullet journal friends were so funny, too. And don't get me started on the minutes from the Collective's meetings and the emails between them and Amelia - omg, those were the perfect addition to the quirkiness of the book. It is just so funny how naive the vampires are to today's rules of living.

To be honest, Amelia wasn't my favorite character, but it was sweet how protective she was of Reggie. I loved that we got to see Cassie and Frederick again, because I loved them in the first book! Now I'm super curious about Zelda and can't wait for her book!

3.5
I got this as an Arc from NetGallery ages ago and so glad I saved it for when I was in the mood for it!
All I have to say is, I found myself relating to Amelia and I absolutely adore Reggie. With Edward Cullen and the Count from Sesame Street!! Reggie and me would be besties in real life.
Overall, a quick easy and fun read that reminds us to never forget to enjoy the moment.

My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine

This is a delightful and charming rom-com that will leave you with a smile on your face. The story follows Amelia Collins, a successful accountant who is tired of her family constantly questioning her single status. Desperate to avoid the interrogation at yet another family wedding, Amelia decides to find a date, any date, to pose as her plus-one.

Reginald Cleaves, a centuries-old vampire who is on the run from a vigilante group bumps into her and she decides he's perfect for her plan, not realizing just how extraordinary he really is. Reggie, with his quirky charm and undeniable handsomeness, agrees to help Amelia, and what starts as a fake relationship soon turns into something much more.

The chemistry between Amelia and Reggie is palpable, and their journey from strangers to friends to lovers is both heartwarming and hilarious. Amelia's initial impressions of Reggie couldn't be more wrong, and as they spend more time together, she discovers that there's much more to him than meets the eye. I loved the way Reggie used to journal, it was fun reading that. This extra touches make the book special.

Levine's writing is witty and engaging, making it easy to fall in love with the characters and their story. The blend of paranormal elements with the lighthearted romance creates a unique and refreshing read. Reggie, with his old-world charm and modern-day struggles, is a vampire hero like no other, and Amelia's relatable desire to please her family adds depth to the narrative.

Overall, this is a fun, playful take on the vampire romance trope that will leave you rooting for Amelia and Reggie. If you're looking for a sweet, charming, and laugh-out-loud rom-com, this book is a must-read!

My Vampire Plus One was just as funny and cutesy as the first book! The characters were all so quirky and I loved the banter! I'm not usually big on the fake dating trope, so I put this book off for a long time and I wish I hadn't. Fave part: the bullet journaling lol.

This sequel to My Roommate Is a Vampire is a delightful blend of humor, romance, and supernatural charm. Amelia Collins, a dedicated accountant, finds herself in need of a date for a family wedding to avoid the usual questions about her single status. Enter Reginald Cleaves, a centuries-old vampire with a flair for the dramatic and a penchant for bullet journaling. Their agreement to fake-date leads to a series of comedic and heartwarming events that challenge their initial perceptions of each other.

The dynamic between Amelia and Reggie is both entertaining and endearing. Their contrasting personalities—Amelia's practicality and Reggie's whimsical nature—create a compelling narrative filled with witty banter and genuine moments of connection. While some plot elements are predictable, the story's charm lies in its character development and the playful exploration of the fake dating trope.

Levine's writing continues to shine with its unique take on vampire lore and romantic comedy. The inclusion of familiar characters from the first book adds depth to the story without overshadowing the new protagonists. Overall, My Vampire Plus-One is a cozy, feel-good read perfect for fans of paranormal romance with a humorous twist.

This book was written for you if:
- You enjoy romantic comedies with a supernatural element.
- You're a fan of the fake dating trope executed with humor and heart.
- You appreciate quirky characters navigating unconventional relationships.

When I read My Roommate is a Vampire, I was so charmed by the characters, especially Reggie. So when I got the chance to read this sequel that focused on him, I jumped at the chance to read it.

I absolutely loved this. Reggie is so down bad for Amelia and he’s trying so hard to be good for her. The earnestness of this series is what makes it so great. This book especially is hilarious and romantic. It captures the absurdity of the situation and plays in the space.

I’m all in on this series. I can’t wait for the next one.

The unseriousness of this story in a time when the world is unsafe and scary is almost therapeutic. I’ve been in a reading slump all year due to everything that is happening and I was able to relax and laugh a little with these characters. Even if the gross naivety of the vampires in the story annoyed me at times. But maybe that’s because I’m used to vampires who are more integrated within human society, since they are predators it makes more sense that they’d be able to move throughout society without attracting unnecessary attention. But that could just be from the vampires I know from other stories. Needless to say it was a sticking point for me even if I enjoyed the rest of the book. I felt the same about Frederick in the previous book. Reggie was delightful btw I loved him and his bullet journal.

SPICE: 2 open door scenes.
TW: obligatory blood play? Maybe barely? It’s a vampire X human romance

I loved this book! I had enjoyed her other book so I knew what to expect. I highly recommend this book if you like paranormal romance!

Jenna Levine has done it again, bringing such a fun and quirky story to life! I laughed so much, and enjoyed the escape read from start to finish.

MY VAMPIRE PLUS-ONE is the latest installment in the My Vampires series, this time centering around Reginald and Amelia. It was the perfectly spooky szn romance that was a great pick for Halloween.

Reggie is such a great character, and I was so excited for him to get his girl.

This has to be one of the FUNNIEST fiction books I’ve read in recent memory, and probably most definitely my funnest read of 2024.

I absolutely cannot wait until this book comes out for reasons being:
1. I want everyone to giggle and laugh just as much as I did while reading (literally whenever Reginald opens his mouth).
2. So I can go buy it and know that this book has a permanent place on my bookshelf.
3. So I can recommend this (and its companion- my roommate is a vampire) to everyone who hasn’t asked.

I liked this one way more than the first. The first one was a nightmare I’m not even gonna lie.

While reading this one I did realize what it is that I hate about these books. It’s the way the authors writes the vampires. They are so over the top cringy and I’m not sure why she chose to go with that.

If it wasn’t for that I would actually really enjoy these books.

This was so much fun! I loved the first book in the series and thought Reggie's character was hilarious, so I was really excited when I learned the second book would feature him as the love interest. He was absolutely delightful and I laughed out loud a handful of times over his jokes, puns, and general zany nature. The plot was interesting enough and never got too serious, even though Reggie was supposedly in danger - there was always a general feeling of ineptitude from the Committee, so it was easy to bliss out in the sweet rom-com vibes. ♥️ Cotton candy in book form, this one.

I just don't understand why her family is down on her for being a CPA. She is college-educated, makes good money, is clearly successful in her field, but the way her family talks about her being a CPA you would think she working at a fast food counter 60 hours a week. The family claims it is because they love her so much and want her to take care of herself...but then they refuse to feed her at literally every single family function.

Amelia and Reggie are cute, the chemistry is fun, and it is a very light read.

Unfortunately, the thing I disliked the most about the first book was essentially repeated again with this book (without giving anything anyway, for me it is how the antagonists are defeated, it just seems to0 easy and plot-convenient). I would give 2.5 - 3 stars.

Ok this book was an absolute delight!! Jenna is such a talented author and I love her writing style so much. I was a fan of Jenna’s debut but this book has Reggie so I’m automatically predisposed to like it more. Reggie is hilarious and earnest and quirky and just a really fun vampire! Amelia is driven and extremely intelligent and quirky in her own right, too. They foul each other so nicely and I loved watching them fall for each other.
1 million/10 I definitely recommend!!

I don't usually read romance novels, but this was such a fun and quirky story! I liked how quirky it was and that it had a magical aspect to it because I have to have some sort of magic to feel attached to a book. Definitely a favorite romance of mine!

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC.

Just an FYI, while this is the second book to a series with returning characters from book 1, it also works well on its own. I haven't read the first book, and I think it explained everything fine. This is just a super goofy, flirty supernatural romance; even when the big bads are threatening violence, they come of as real squares. Reggie is infuriating in a fun way, and I love how much he cares about Amelia's boundaries. The cover art really gives the right impression of a charming asshole. I really related to Amelia's situation with her family, both with respect to her relationships and her dietary restrictions (though no one disregards my lactose intolerance more than myself). Somehow, the instalove didn't bother me like it normally would; a major feat in my book. Nor did the miscommunication trope, it really hits different when the miscommunication comes down to him being honest about being a vampire the whole time, but she's thinks he's joking for like half the book. Overall, it's a fun break from any serious fare.

After the last book I thought this one would be hard to live up to its predecessor. I’m happy to report I was wrong!

This was such a fun read. Loved all the side throws to twilight and Edward Cullen. As someone who loves Twilight I love seeing references and nods to that iconic series.

If you’re looking for a fun silly way to kill a few hours you’re bound to love this one. I can not wait for Jenna Levine’s next book as it will obviously be a riot.

Now this was such a quirky and fun read! It gives cozy vampire vibes with comedy and I really loved it. The characters were great but Reggie was hands down my favorite character. The humor in this book made me laugh so much that I got a few looks while reading it in public. Really great read and I absolutely love Jenna's writing.

Fake dating? Yes, please! I had so much fun reading this and Reginald is such a golden retriever and a fun character to read about.

If there is one thing that I can guarantee with a Jenna Levine book, it's that it is going to make me laugh and boy did this one make me laugh. If you are looking for a book that is going to be 100% a good time, I definitely recommend picking this one up (or the first book in this series if you haven't read it already). I think that Jenna has a really fresh take on vampires that adds a bit of comedic relief that we don't usually see typical in that niche of romance novels and in this one in particular she takes a trope (miscommunication) that a lot of people tend to not enjoy reading and turns it into something really creative, funny and new!

After reading My Roommate is a Vampire, I was hoping that we would get a Reginald book because his character is absolutely hilarious and really steals the show. Reggie is a bit of an odd ball, eclectic if you will, especially aesthetically speaking. He garners a lot of attention and I just think he is such an interesting and funny character so getting to read his perspective and see him more front and center was so fun. He is so effortlessly charming and devastatingly swoon-worthy. (And he just adds to the fact that I demand justice for blonde mmcs and love interests!)

Amelia was funny as well but in a more unexpected way. All of the tax legal jargon in this could have been overwhelming but instead it was delivered in a way that just felt like a juxtaposition. And the way that her job played a key part in this story was also really enjoyable.

And I can't mention Amelia without mentioning Sophie because Sophie is who I related to throughout this whole thing. “So he has a few red flags. Who doesn’t?” The married friend with children who is wanting all the details and encourages her friend to live her best life and bone a vampire. Yep, that's me.

Overall, I really loved this book and I can't wait for the next book! I am already counting down the days until it is released!
