[Thanks to @ berkleyromance for the free eARC!]

I have been very vocal about how much I loved the previous book in this series (My Vampire Plus-One) so no one should be surprised that I loved this book, too!

Zelda, who happens to be an immortal witch, has her own secrets but as she spends time with Peter, she feels comfortable sharing the details of her past with him. Peter is able to listen and really see Zelda for who she is (and vice versa!). Between this and Peter’s vulnerability, it’s easy to root for him to get the girl.

The tension between Zelda and Peter was wild! It’s kind of a slow burn but when it starts, well… it definitely burns (#iykyk).🔥 Trust me when I say you’ll be squealing and kicking your feet when these two finally get together.

Even though I was able to guess the major conflict, the third act break up didn’t bother me because it’s done so well! Maybe it’s because they’re hundreds of years old but Zelda and Peter are able to handle everything maturely. They actually listen to each other!

Each stop of the road trip is filled with hijinks. It’s sort of chaotic which only adds to the humor. Levine’s writing is so witty and I often found myself cackling while reading. At the same time, the story covers accepting responsibility for your past choices, but not being defined by them.

I’m so sad this series is finished but what an ending! This is a fast-paced story filled with great banter so it’s easy to sink your teeth into it. 🧛

Road Trip with a Vampire is exactly what it promises: a delightfully quirky paranormal romance with a beating heart underneath all the vampire vibes and witty banter. Jenna Levine delivers a slow-burn, opposites-attract love story that pairs a sunshiney human with a brooding, emotionally constipated vampire—and it works so well. Their chemistry was adorable, and I genuinely enjoyed watching them open up to each other during their literal and emotional journey.
It’s the perfect blend of cozy road trip vibes, supernatural charm, and romantic tension. If you love character-driven stories with warmth, wit, and a touch of fangs, this one’s a must-read.

"I hadn't had a real home in so long.

Not until I met you. Now that I know what it's like to be with you, I don't think I could go back to any sort of existence without you in it."

3.5/5 wonderful stars
1/5 spice and with a little bite to it.

This book is definitely my favorite of the interconnected series! Jenna Levine just writes lovely silly little romances, with silly little fmc's that have silly little quirks. The men don't know how to talk to women, they have tendencies to be idiots sometimes but my god do I love it.

Sometimes easy books are just so nice to read in-between thicker reads! This is my petition for more head-empty-but-so-cute books.

I thought Zelda was so different, I mean she is literally a powerful witch, over 400 years old and a little stubborn. Her yogi self and comforting outlook was just refreshing. I enjoyed her character a lot even if her suspicious tendencies got me slightly frustrated.

Peter was the reason why I loved this book so much. He can fix a car, he's grumpy and a hot vampire??? say less. I enjoyed the way he would have flirty innuendos and just said the correct things in moments when Zelda needed it.

I wanted a little bit more anger from him at the end, I think if you're going to have a third act break up though.... this is the way you make him GROVEL!

If you give me another chance, I will always take care of you."

I thought it was a little cliche but honestly so fun and sweet. If you love paranormal romances this would be a series I would definitely recommend. Just go into them for something easy and light, the conflict of the series isn't super heavy, they're not intense reads and thats completely fine with me!

I am a huge fan of Jenna Levine’s vampire series! This latest (and last 😭) installment was such a cute but bittersweet ending.


Grizelda “Zelda” Watson is an elemental witch, living the quiet life as a yoga studio owner in California. After centuries of chaos, Grizelda decided to reinvent herself into Zelda Turret and has been struggling to live life with as little magic as possible. One night, Peter Elliot, a vampire with amnesia, shows up at her studio looking for her help to get his memory back at the behest of their mutual friend, Reggie. Zelda, though skeptical, reluctantly agrees. The two soon set off on a road trip across the U.S., stopping at key places along the way to help jog Peter’s memory. But the more miles the two travel, the more they find themselves drawn to each other as emotions and the mystery surrounding Peter’s amnesia intensifies.

Road Trip With a Vampire was such a fun read! I enjoyed getting to know Zelda and Peter’s characters and found them to be the perfect match for one another. I loved the mystery surrounding Peter’s amnesia. At times, it felt like I was reading a romantic suspense novel (which I really loved). The cameos of the characters from the previous two books (My Roommate is a Vampire and My Vampire Plus One) were so fun to read and made me want to go back and immediately reread both books.

Overall, this was such a great story! I am so sad that it’s the last of the Vampire series, but I am so looking forward to whatever Jenna writes next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC!

thank you so much for the approval- i cannot wait to dive in, this is one of my most anticipated reads of the year! i will be sure to leave a review on GR/retailers to come! 💞

You had me at “vampire with amnesia” and “witch with secrets” piling into a beat-up car for a cross-country adventure. I mean, come on, it’s like a supernatural Thelma & Louise with less cliff-diving and more fang-flashing! Jenna Levine’s latest romp is a frothy, funny cocktail of romance and comedy, but—sigh—it didn’t quite sink its teeth into my heart the way I hoped. It’s cute, it’s quirky, but it’s also got some quirks that made me raise an eyebrow higher than a vampire spotting a garlic bread buffet.

Peter, our hunky amnesiac vampire, can’t remember a thing about his centuries-long life, and Zelda, our secretive witch, is dodging her own baggage like it’s a dodgeball game in gym class. The two of them hitting the open road? Total catnip for a hopeless romantic who dreams of love, adventure, and maybe a cute gas station meet-cute (don’t judge). The dialogue sparkles like a Twilight vampire. I cackled out loud when Peter tried to navigate a modern GPS like it was a cursed artifact from the 1700s.

But here’s where the sparkle dims a bit, and I’m gonna get real. Peter and Zelda are hundreds of years old, y’all. Hundreds! And yet, they’re out here scraping by like they’re one paycheck away from eating instant ramen for eternity. I’m sorry, but if I’d been alive since the days of powdered wigs and chamber pots, I’d at least have a side hustle that didn’t involve clocking in at Vampire Starbucks or Witchy Waffle House. Peter, pre-memory loss, wasn’t sipping champagne in first class or chartering private jets? Zelda’s couldn’t replace her wobbly end table? Girl, what?! I was expecting bougie immortals dripping in old-money vibes, not two supernatural sad sacks who apparently missed the memo on the Industrial Revolution, the dot-com boom, AND Bitcoin. If you’ve lived through the invention of the light bulb and didn’t think to invest in General Electric, I’m side-eyeing you harder than my dog when I forget her treats. These two are old enough to have seen the future coming, and yet they’re living like they’re auditioning for Broke Immortal: The Reality Show.

The road trip itself is a hoot, though. Levine paints their misadventures with such vivid charm that I could practically smell the stale coffee and questionable motel sheets while wondering if Zelda could magic away bed bugs.

But the pacing? It’s like the car ran out of gas halfway through. The middle sags a bit, with some scenes feeling like filler episodes of a sitcom you love but don’t need. I wanted more stakes (pun intended), more depth to their secrets, and maybe a little less “oops, we forgot how to adult despite being older than the Constitution.”

Also, can we talk about the romance? It’s adorable, don’t get me wrong—Peter’s awkward vampire charm had me swooning, and Zelda’s sassy deflections are my spirit animal. But it’s almost too sweet, like eating cotton candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I wanted a touch more spice, a bit more angst to make the happy ending feel earned. It’s not quite closed-door, but it’s more “slightly ajar door” than “steamy vampire romp”. I was hoping for a love story that’d make my heart race like I’d just spotted a garage sale full of Labubu’s (I did snatch up the one I found once!), but it was more like a cozy hug from your favorite sweater. Nice, but not electric.

Oh, and a quick note: I scoured Reddit for some hot takes from smokedup_69420, hoping for some spells, but alas, that username’s a ghost. Missed advertisement opportunity.

Road Trip with a Vampire is a fun, fluffy read that’s perfect for when you want to giggle and swoon without thinking too hard. It’s got heart, humor, and a road trip vibe that makes you want to crank up a cheesy playlist and hit the highway. But the missed opportunities—like the slightly flat emotional depth—kept it from being a five-star fang-fest. If you’re in the mood for a light, laugh-out-loud romance with a supernatural twist, this’ll do the trick—just don’t expect Peter and Zelda to be living that Bloomberg-level immortal life.

I loved the first two books in this series and the author’s take on the traditional vampire romance. This one was a fun addition to the world she’s created. Zelda was a great character and I really enjoyed the idea of a vampire with amnesia. I can’t wait to read what she writes next.

In this third and final book of the "My Vampires" series, Levine leaves us with a fun, cute romance with plenty of spice, too, just as readers who enjoyed the other two books in the series would expect. Peter and Zelda are lovable and relatable characters, even if they are a vampire and immortal witch. Peter is a bit of a mystery at first because of his amnesia, but his care for Zelda is apparent the whole time, even below his standoffish exterior. Zelda is a favorite, with her sometimes modern taste, mixed with some preferences for the things in the distant past. It was fun to discover her past crazy antics, especially via the little blurbs at the beginning of each chapter. I really enjoyed seeing the relationship between these two develop, especially because of how humorous Levine was able to make it (the chicken hat clinched it for me). I also really appreciated how this is one of the few paranormal romances with immortal characters where there wasn't an age gap to deal with. Both Peter and Zelda have already been around for awhile, and they're both supernatural, so there isn't any type of power imbalance in their relationship. If anything, it is Zelda who is the older player in the relationship, turning some of the typical dynamics of these romances on their head.

The one thing that I didn't quite like was the relationship conflict in the third act of the book. I don't want to give too many details to not give spoilers, but it seemed like the drama around the relationship wasn't quite necessary, and was a bit forced. I think it may have been better to focus on the external conflict with the Collective, since it was honestly resolved way more quickly than I anticipated. Things, of course, work out in the end (it is a romance after all), but I would have liked it more to just skip that extra drama, even though I do appreciate all that Peter does to show he cares about Zelda during this time.

Many thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read an advanced reader copy for an honest review.

This author is new to me, but I will be keeping an eye out for anything else they publish. I loved the story and the characters. The pacing of the story was great and the characters were relatable.

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, so I knew I would love this one too. The premise was totally adorable and Peter was so wholesome. While this book would have been totally fine as a standalone, I really missed the humor that the first two had. In fact, some of my favorite bits were the ones that featured Frederick or Reggie. Overall, this was a fun escape.

Many thanks to Jenna Levine, the publisher, and Netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

This is the first book by this author for me, so I believe you can read it prior to reading any others from the series, though I found out after reading, that the previous books in the series featured some of the side characters in this book. (And I really need to go back and read Reginald's story.) There is humor in the book, but it's not really LOL humor. More of a slight chuckle here and there. The characters are interesting. The previous books featured a vampire and a human, but this one is a vampire and a witch. (Though a witch in hiding who's trying not to be so witchy.) The vampire, Peter, comes to the witch, Zelda, in hopes she can help him get his memory back. As he may not remember details, he starts to believe he wasn't a very good person as certain feelings come back to him. As his relationship with the witch grows, he worries his past might hurt her once they find out the truth of who he is/was before losing his memory. While there is the whole paranormal aspect of the book (and who they are,) it's not overly done. Mostly subtle things, like him needing to feed and being fast on his feet, and her using slight magic on occasion. Nothing in your face about their 'talents.' And there are other humans in their lives who know nothing about their true beings. So, if you aren't into paranormal/supernatural reads, I feel you can still enjoy this one. It's written well, and not filled with fluff. There is a minor amount of sexual content, but it's not smutty and kinda fades into black after a few moments. It's from just one POV (Zelda) except for a paragraph or two at the beginning of each chapter, in which we get Peter's POV. It's easy to read.

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.

I love the dynamic of adding a witch to this universe!! I love Zelda! (but I completely disagree with her at the end. My boy Peter did nothing wrong. 🤷🏼‍♀️) This book is sweet, funny, & magical! ✨

I was so excited to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I absolutely was hooked from the start. I couldn’t get enough of Zelda and Peter. I kinda of got the idea of what was going to happen but I was still glued to my kindle. Will definitely read more of Jenna’s books.

i went into this book blindly, knowing just the title which is obviously the main point/plot of the book. and when i tell you this was so much fun! i felt in love with the concept, characters and their chemistry 🤭

basically the book is about a witch and a vampire who decided to go on this huge trip to figure out personal details. as you can guess, there were so much of the close proximity moments as they have to stay together at the same room, car and basically spend days together. and i truly had fun with it. the book was nicely written and had such a unique and strong plot. no cringy moments, which is a rare thing in a romance. i didn’t that some chapters were fully written in italics, but idk if the authors decided that or publisher/editor? it was difficult to read but also maybe it’s just a kindle thing.

the chemistry and tension was 🙂‍↕️
it’s pretty much a slow burn, and i was screaming every 2 pages as they were getting close together and then going back to normal (and nothing was happening). was definitely keeping me on point.

i kind of predicted the ending, not in total but the obvious part of them going somewhere together for a reason. also, the personal detail of why she offered the trip just disappeared in a middle of the book, which was disappointing to see. while the guy figured out his issues, she kind of never did? idk

the ending was cute, especially the vampire fighting back to get the witch.😭 sorry, bad with names.

If there are any vampires out there that lost their memory and want to go on a road trip, I'm your girl. Zelda and Peter have my heart and I've started my reread of the WHOLE series just because I've missed Jenna's writing so much.

Levine can build hilarious characters, that feel absurd and at the same time so at place with the whole world that you want to come back to it again and again. Road Trip with a Vampire calls back to previous books, but you don't have to read them first to get the whole story. The main "villain" of the series - The Collective - is everything I imagined out of place hundreds and hundreds years old vampires would be and them coming back in every single installment with new out of pocket goals is hilarious.

We also get a self acceptance arc for Zelda, which I was excited about. She went from this feared evil witch to a yoga instructor and changed her life towards the better, but she still struggles with expressing her magic and suppresses the gift all together. Peter, our amnesiac big bad vampire, needs her help with remembering who exactly he is, but ends up helping Zelda accept herself on top of discovering his own motives.

While my favorite of the series is still My Vampire Plus-One, I still recommend reading Road Trip with a Vampire, if you're looking for a quick and funny paranormal read.

I have enjoyed all of the books in the My Vampires series, but this one might be my favorite.

The set up for the story made for a really fun ride! The romance was cute, and the story kept me engaged. I also appreciated the humor that I've come to expect in this series. I only wish the book had been a little bit longer, just because it would have been fun to explore even more with Zelda's powers, Peter's past and amnesia, and their relationship together.

Overall, definitely an enjoyable time and I would recommend this series.

Thanks again to Berkley & NetGalley for the ARC!

4 ⭐️

I loved the first two books in this series. I think it's a fun twist on vampires. I very much enjoyed the change up from the first 2 books.

I loved Zelda and Peter as characters. I enjoyed getting snippets of Peter's memory as they were on the road trip. Zelda got to be loose and free and connect with herself on the road trip. Peter wanted to do whatever he could to make Zelda happy. Peter may or may not have had some problems, but he made Zelda happy so who could really complain.

I enjoyed getting to see past characters make an appearance. I felt there was enough back story so you didnt necessarily need to read the other 2 books to understand this one.

Being a Michigander, I greatly enjoyed their pit stop in Michigan.

I think my only semi challenge with the book was how many present day references there were.

*thank you to netgalley and Berkley for providing*

I love reading Jenna Levine books. this was so fun! I enjoyed being back in this world again! this book had the perfect blend of humor, mystery and romance! this is perfect for fans of a rom-com with a twist of paranormal. you dont need to read the other two books, but it'd be fun to, so you can fully appreciate the references and cameos... 10/10

I think this was my favorite from the series. If you have read My Vampire Plus One; then you have heard of Grizelda and the antics her and Reggie like participate in. Grizelda, who goes by Zelda these days and runs a yoga studio. She keeps the fact that she is a witch and super powerful on lock. Peter is a vampire who has lost all his memories. Peter is sent to Zelda by Reggie on the off chance she can help. Peter and Zelda embark on a road trip to see if it jogs Peter’s memories. But when Peter finally regains his past… Zelda finds her in a peculiar situation.

This supernatural rom-com hit all the right notes! A vampire with amnesia, a reformed bad witch, and a quirky road trip — what’s not to love? Peter and Zelda’s journey was a fun mix of mystery, humor, and heart. I loved watching them grow closer with each strange pit stop. Sad to see the series end, but eager to see what comes next!
