I thought I loved My Roommate is a Vampire, but this one? This one was next level and I loved every second of reading it.
Reginald is one of the best book characters I have ever read. I loved that man with my entire heart. He was hilarious and sweet and so baby girl. The way this man loved Amelia and basically worshipped the ground she walked on. This man was giggling and kicking his feet and like everything she did and I adored him for it.
The relationship between Reginald and Amelia was everything to me. I loved seeing them fall in love and all of the drama they went through together. I'm dying to reread it already because I adored every single second of reading it.
I can't wait to read more by this author.

Really enjoyed Reginald and Amelia’s not so conventional love story, I found it to be a fun easy read and love the banter between the characters. I preferred this book to the first and would recommend to others. Can’t wait for the third book in the series. Very talented author.

What drew me to the book was the cover and the hype that the first one got. I didn't read that one so I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into...🫣

I really disliked the characters and found them very dull and tbh quite annoying. Our main character Amelia is a woman in her mid-30s who still can't tell her parents that she likes her life the way it is, so instead she asks the weird guy she met on the street to be her fake date for her cousin's wedding. In this encounter, we meet Reginald - a 400 year old vampire who has NO SOCIAL SKILLS. Literally none. He ate a pine cone. Just because. He also thinks accountants are sexy, and thank goodness Amelia is just that! With her talking taxes and him fawning over her I was quickly over their story and was skimming the pages. The resolution of the "big conflict" at the end was also quite anticlimactic.

Maybe if you're an accountant and actually know what Amelia is talking about, you may like the book better than I did. Nonetheless I was rage talking about this story to a friend and she now wants to read it as well! So I guess it's a good pick if you want to read a silly story that might annoy you 🤭

This is a Netgalley arc review. Thank you to the publisher as well as Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book!

Amelia is an accountant. A happily single accountant. Her family disagree and think her non existent dating life is a worry. When she is invit e to a family wedding with the inevitable plus one Amelia decides to shut them up she has to find a date. After literally running into Reginald Cleaves outside her office she decides to ask him to be her date. What Amelia doesn't know is that Reggie is a vampire and her view on the world is about to change.

I loved this even more than the first book. Reggie and Amelia relationship was perfect and I enjoyed every moment of this book. It was funny, spicy and kept me completely hooked throughout. I really hope we get more from this situation series in the future ☺️

Thank you to Netgalley, Random House UK and Jenna Levine for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun read! The characters were really relatable, and had me smiling, laughing and crying with them the whole way through.

I felt the book had great pace and the story didn't feel rushed. I would definitely recommend this to others. Even though I haven't read Jenna's other book yet I didn't feel lost in the world as the characters from it were perfect at supporting the main characters from this book.

The most wonderful sequel to My Roommate is a Vampire.

My Vampire Plus One follows the cheeky, rouge frenemy Reginald from the first book. Reginald is avoiding the “witch hunt” of the The Collective - a bumbling, misguided group of vampires who view themselves as the ultimate authority.

Amelia is tired of her family and their judgement around her love life, or lack thereof. Which results in a scheme - one where she must find someone to pose as her boyfriend to please her family. In walks Reginald. The eccentric and cheeky vampire is who is more than happy to help if it means he can avoid The Collective.

This book features all our favourite tropes:
🩸 Fake Dating
🩸One Bed
🩸 He Falls First
🩸 Cinnamon Roll MMC

I was obsessed with Reggie in book one so having the opportunity to read a book following him love story and all its eccentricities was a joy. Amelia was a strong, levelheaded and relatable fmc and her relationship with Reggie was everything.

I highly recommend this book to everyone looking for a quirky contemporary vampire romance.

I absolutely adored My Roommate Is A Vampire so I knew I had to read this one... and I was not disappointed!

Like everybody on this planet after reading MRIAV, I was desperate for Reggie’s book, and oh boy, he didn’t disappoint me.
He was somehow even more of everything that I even imagined he would be! And getting to know Amelia and seeing that man soften for her, melted me!!
I love a bit of fake dating and this had all those little fun aspects that come with that.
It was just another really fun time, with amazing characters and a great plot, and it was once again, very funny and had that perfect pinch of spice!
And I’m so glad we’ve had a confirmation of a book 3!

Erm. YES.

Reginald is everyone's newest vampire Book boyfriend. He is just so cute and the epitome of Cinnamon Roll hero. Love the growth of his character from book one to the end of this one.

Amelia however i didn't really like. She comes off as slightly overbearing to be around where it's all always 'oh pity me. Pity me' instead of standing up for herself. And I lost track of the amount of times where she said (and it was implied) that she was a hard worker. Yet never really did any work. Even whilst at the office.


Despite the FMC this book was just so cute and funny and just an overall delight to read.

I didn't love book one but I didn't enjoy it, it was a fun, quick read and this was no different. Reginald was my favourite character in book 1 because he was such a little shit and I loved him in this book too!!! Again it was a fun, quick read and I would read more from the author

A loved the first book, and this is just as brilliant if a story. It's interesting seeing the story for a different angle than other vampires,

Enjoyed this just as much as My Roommate is a Vampire. Such a fun time, great characters who I fell in love with so quickly. Love when a book can make me laugh.

This was just an all round good time truly. I haven't read the first book so didn't have any preconceptions about these characters coming into the story, and fell in love with both MCs very quickly.
I feel Amelia's problems in my SOUL, maybe not the need to find a fake-boyfriend for a wedding but definitely the work-hard and stay focused one - so glad this girl got a whole book about how to take some time for herself!
Reginald was absolutely bonkers as far as MMCs go, he was extravagant and so totally open with Amelia that it took me completely by surprise - no dark brooding over here. This really was the vampire rom-com I desperately needed.
For those who love 'What we do in the Shadows', I highly recommend this for some light-hearted romance and a good laugh <3

My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine is a fun and lighthearted paranormal rom-com that blends fake dating with vampire antics. Amelia, a successful yet single woman, is tired of her family’s nagging about her love life. Enter Reggie, a centuries-old vampire, who agrees to pose as her plus-one for a family wedding. What starts as a fauxmance quickly develops into something deeper as Reggie’s charm and loyalty win Amelia over.

Levine skillfully mixes humor with romance, creating a slow-burn dynamic between the two characters. Reggie, with his endearing quirks and devotion to Amelia, adds depth to the otherwise comedic storyline. The witty epistolary elements, featuring Reggie’s journal entries, bring extra humor and perspective. Perfect for fans of paranormal romances and lighthearted love stories, this is an enjoyable fall read.

This was very cute and fun read. I haven't read the first book (My Rooommate is a Vampire) but that didn't really effect my reading expierience at all! It was nice to read about some very bright and fun vampires, instead of the typical broody and dark ones.
Reggies was exactly what I needed to get me out of my reading slumb!

My Vampire Plus One follows Amelia who is an accountant with a meddling family who is constantly asking about her love life and after a sarcastic remark about having a boyfriend too seriously, she has no choice but to now bring a date to her cousin's wedding despite not actually being in a relationship. Enter Reginald, a vampire fugitive and after the two bump each other one night, Amelia proposes a fake dating scheme to which Reggie agrees with his own interior motive.

While I found My Roommate Is A Vampire enjoyable, this one I found is significantly a lot better. One of my main issues with the first book was that it would've worked better with a dual pov and this time the author listened and implemented it within this book. And let me tell you, it worked so much better. I loved Reginald in this first book, and this made me love even more so I was glad that we got his pov. And maybe it's because I love the faking dating trope too much but this is everything I love in a book, the humour, the slow burn, the forced proximity? Give it all to me. Amelia and Reggie balanced each other so well, I loved their relationship and I hope to see more of them and how their relationship grows in any upcoming books.

The only issue that I had was that we could've learned more about Reggie's history a bit more, like he definitely knows who caused the fire and it has to be the witch, right? But that was only really my issue with this book. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series, like imagine a witch x vampire enemies to lovers book? I would be here for it, if there will even be another book in this series that is. So if you're needing a lighthearted romcom for the spooky season, this is the one for you.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

‘My Vampire Plus-One’ by Jenna Levine is a spicy, hilarious supernatural romance following human accountant Amelia and mysterious vampire fugitive Reggie. After bumping into each other quite by chance, Amelia finds herself desperate for a plus-one to join her at her cousin’s wedding and ends up proposing a fake-dating scheme which Reggie delightedly accepts - not least because dating this incredible, beautiful, human woman might throw the vampire gang seeking retribution against him for a crime he didn’t commit off his scent! Thus begins a rom-com story that uses a traditional trope but manages to feel original and fresh.

I loved:
- Amelia’s passion for her job as a tax accountant and for numbers generally
- Reggie’s bullet journal!!! Reading his thoughts was so heartwarming and funny, and I loved his interactions with other journallers on his message board
- The amusing reveal just after 50% of the way through
- The side characters (especially Frederick and Cassie, who seemed fab and have definitely persuaded me to circle back and read their story in Book 1)
- The chemistry between A & R; especially in the snowed-in scene
- Reggie’s words and mannerisms were just SO cute!

The ending was a little bit silly, I thought, and I would have enjoyed more content about Gracie the cat… but those are minor gripes and overall it was a well-constructed story.

Giving this four stars and recommending as a light-hearted read for anyone who loved Twilight as a teen or who wants a fake dating romance read that’s a little bit different.

I received an advance Digital Review Copy of this book from the publisher Random House UK, Cornerstone via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
