4.5 ✯

This book was so much better than I could have expected. After reading this book and enjoying it so much, I know I need to read more rom coms. I couldn’t stop reading this, I was laughing and smiling throughout so much of it, the sarcasm and the humour was so funny. There were moments where I was facepalming, it was just such a great book and I enjoyed every second reading it.

I loved that Amelia had a normal office job working as an accountant, I feel like you don’t see that in books very often. Although I do think it was a little far-fetched that she was able to blackmail a vampire to leave them alone otherwise she’d go to the IRS about their tax evasions, but it’s so ridiculous I just found it hilarious. I guess if you want a more serious vampire romance then this definitely isn’t the book for you.

Reggie carried this book with his humour, I couldn’t get enough of his character. He was the opposite of cold, as vampires are usually portrayed, he was such a golden retriever. It was so funny when he would consult his discord channel for relationship advice and they’d hype him up.

I actually haven’t read Jenna Levine's first book, My Roommate is a Vampire, but after getting to see the main characters make an appearance in this book, I'm definitely going to check it out.

Thank you Netgalley and Cornerstone for this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was such a fun read - I think I actually enjoyed it even more than the first one (My Roommate Is A Vampire) because Reggie is such a fun oddball of a character. I also adore a fake-dating trope, so it's always highly entertaining to read that. I love the little additions at the beginning of every chapter too - excerpts from books on vampires, or the musings of Reggie in his bullet journal (yes he's a vampire who journals).

I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of very fun and entertaining paranormal romance reads and want something relatively quick and easy to digest. For fans of The Ex Hex, A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon and, honestly? Twilight!

I really love the cover it's so eye catching.

*ೃ༄ The plot revolves around Amelia Collins a cut throat, successful accountant with a very annoying family but loving family are keen to see her date. Desperate, she lies and tells them she has a boyfriend who she'll bring to a family wedding and the only person who agrees is a charming but weird man she bumps into in the street, who has a very dark secret.

*ೃ༄ Honestly I absolutely have no criticisms to this book. Jenna has a great writing style and her words seem to seamlessly flow, there's no grammatical errors, she seems to get her point across and the narrative is well thought out and easy to understand.

*ೃ༄ The characters are thought through and they're really good together. Amelia is very sweet and Reginald is super whimsy and over the top in like the best way possible. However in all honesty I just didn't connect to them that well. They're like the people in your life who you can always say hi to and have great conversations with but you just don't care about and are close to.

But I have to say that I didn't know that Levine's other book ties into this one and I went into it thinking it was a stand-alone. I mean it technically is but I always felt like I was missing something, like when you hang out with a close friend group, yea they include you and talk to you but you always feel like you're just not getting something. Would definitely recommend probably reading that before this, but I personally don't think I will.

✦ If you want a light hearted funny read with a wacky plot line and a cute romance without having to use your brain this book is definitely for you

Another brilliant book by this author! I loved the first and this one just as much! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC.

Sometimes, an author writes a sequel and it just doesn't live up to your expectations. And sometimes, an author writes a sequel that you love even more than the first book. Jenna Levine, you've definitely done the second with My Vampire Plus-One.

My Vampire Plus-One follows Reginald, who you'll remember as Frederick's oh-so chaotic "best" friend from MRIAV, and Amelia our new female protagonist. Where Reggie is unserious and a whirlwind of energy, Amelia is a staid and steady accountant, desperate to avoid her families loving but intrusive probing into her romantic life, or lack thereof, at a cousin's wedding.
Bring on the fake-dating trope!

Having met Reggie in the first book, I was curious to see how Levine could possibly make him into a romantic and sexy love interest. I don't know what magic that woman weaves but she did it. I adored Reggie. He's funny, charming, flirtatious, and definitely leaps off the page as being sexy, even in his checked skirt! Spending time with both him and Amelia was a joy and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed.

It was also nice to get snippets of Frederick and Cassie and how their lives have moved on since the previous book. I'd still happily read a book of their lives following certain developments.

The fact that this book got me out of a reading slump and had me trying to cook a meal with one hand whilst staying in Reggie and Amelia's world with another should be all the endorsement you need to read this book!

I can't wait to see where Levine takes us next!

Thank you Random House UK/Cornerstone , Penguin and NetGalley for this E-ARC of My Vampire Plus One by Jenna Levine


As the hugest fan of My Roommate is a Vampire, I was so overjoyed to be able read and review this absolutely lovely book. You don't have to have read My Roommate is a Vampire to enjoy this book though the Characters are recurring in both books ( Hi Frederick and Cassie) I love the Fake Date to a wedding trope... it is always fun and Jenna has a humour and warmth that is so uniquely her own that I truly loved reading about Amelia and Reggie...

Jenna's first book was pure joy...and this one didn't disappoint either... Love this book.

What a fun time I had reading this one! It's funny, it doesn't take itself too seriously and it made me laugh out loud at several points. The characters are quirky and endearing and I was fully invested beginning to end despite the predictability of it all. It was quite a breath of fresh air and a very easy read that I think will suit any fans of vampire fiction (there's a definite What We Do in The Shadows feel to it). I wish there was a little more intrigue and character development but it's a quick fun read that does it job well.

As soon as I saw this was available to request, I jumped at the chance! I couldn’t wait to get back to this world and start learning all about Reginald and his story.

Fake dating is one of my favourite tropes, and I really enjoyed how this one played out. I fell in love with how strange Reggie is, with his bullet journalling and interesting sense of fashion. And the chemistry between him and Amelia was so lovely to read.

I did like seeing Frederick and Cassie pop up from time to time and finding out how they’re getting on since the first book.

Over all, I did enjoy reading this! I do hope there may be a third in the works at some point as I can’t get enough of the vampire romcoms.

Absolutely captivating, it was a lovely little escape and I loved having a book about Reginald!! I zoomed through it and thoroughly enjoyed it
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*a big thank you to the publishers & NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy in exchange for my honest review

i loved the first book in this series so i was really excited to read this one, and it did not disappoint!

this really felt like a proper romcom with the perfect amount of romance and comedy - i read a lot of this on my train to work and had to stop myself from laughing out loud multiple times.

fake dating is my favourite trope ever and this did it so well. the romance felt very real and reggie was such a loveable main character. i also loved amanda and how independent she was, i think they worked so well together.

overall this was so fun to read - i can’t wait to read more from this series!

thank you so much to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the arc 🫶🏻

I enjoyed this more than the first book, because I still strongly believe Cassie and Frederick should have stayed friends, but with Amelia and Reginald, the progression from meeting each other to being together made a lot more sense to me.

Reggie quickly became my favorite character in this book. I loved his bullet journal entries and his insane way of dressing. I couldn't really see myself enjoying an entire book centred around him after meeting him in book 1 but honestly, he was hard not to love. Amelia wasn't anything too special in terms of female lead. I felt as though I'd read a thousand of her before, but their dynamic was still really sweet.

If you enjoyed book one, you'll probably enjoy Reggie and Amelia's story even more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read the first book in this series My Roommate is a Vampire earlier this year and was so lucky to receive an ARC of the sequel!

In My Vampire Plus-One, we follow workaholic tax account Amelia who, when she meets Reginald, is whisked into a plot involving vigilante vampires and a whole lot of tax fraud (which is far more entertaining than it sounds!)

Jenna Levine’s books are so laugh-out-loud funny! The emphasis is definitely on the ‘comedy’ rather than the ‘romance’. The diary entries, the ludicrous, almost slapstick scenarios and Reginald himself!

Transforming the flamboyant side character Reginald into a romantic lead seemed an insurmountable task and I’m still not quite sure this was accomplished. However, he was unapologetically himself; loud, outrageous and outlandish. I appreciate that this series is refreshing in its willingness to step outside the bounds of what we are accustomed to seeing in romcoms.

I enjoyed the cameos from Frederick and Cassie. I found Amelia slightly boring and one-dimensional, although more likeable than Cassie.

Overall, I’d recommend to fans of comedy and for those who love Ashley Poston’s books, as the supernatural/magic realism aspects are quite similar. Definitely don’t go into this expecting a groundbreaking romance, rather an entertaining and humorous quick read.

Let me know in the comments if you’ve read My Roommate is a Vampire and if you’ll reading the sequel when it releases on September 17th!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

This is a light-hearted, paranormal rom-com with endless twilight references and a sweet take on the fake dating trope.

“As Amelia and Reggie practice their fauxmance, it becomes clear that Reggie is as loyal to her as the day is long, and that Amelia’s first impressions could not have been more wrong.”

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie, what can I say? Reggie is a unique character who is a fresh take on the modern vampire. It was refreshing to have such a likable MMC from the get go, he’s a true gent and absolutely filled to the brim with quick wit and armed with an endlessly filthy mouth. Although his outfit choices are… questionable. I found myself falling more and more in love with him every chapter.

Amelia is a relatable, modern day corporate woman and it was so nice to read a romance with a strong and independent FMC. She doesn’t NEED Reggie, and that made me enjoy this story more than I anticipated.

There is some spice but it is not overwhelming and in my opinion it does not distract from the plot.

This isn’t the type of story that I would usually pick up as a hardcore romantasy reader, but it was an easy read that I devoured in less than 24 hours.

4 stars, I would recommend!

Light-hearted, fun, easy read. Equal parts hilarious and ridiculous, but honestly had such a good time with this story. Will forever love a vampire romance and this is no exception; bonus points for the fantastic spice!

Reggie is my absolute favourite, so beyond silly but also incredibly endearing. He is so sweet and his bullet journalling with his pros and cons list made me emotional in the best way. Amelia is relatable and very likeable as a main character - I thought they were great together.

Would definitely recommend this for those interested in paranormal romances that don’t take themselves too seriously. What a joy this was to read!

I think I’ve found another go to author!

My Vampire Plus-One had me swooning, blushing, laughing out loud and just plain beaming from the get go. Reggie and Amelia’s relationship is precious, and I’m already praying that I get to see more of them in any subsequent books in the series.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with this ARC, and thank you to Jenna Levine for your magnificent writing and storyweaving. Consider me a firm fan!

I found My Roommate Is a Vampire to be such a wholesome romance book, that I couldn't wait to read not Reginald's story.

Reginald is a weird vampire with no fashion sense. When his past start catching up to him, a fake relationship with human accountant, Amelia seems the solution. He can distract himself and spend some time away from the city where he's being hunted. However, he didn't count on falling for a human.

Amelia proposed this fake-dating business to Reginald to have her family off her back. While she always has a plan, since she met Reginald, she's flying from the seat of her pants. But the more time she spends with him, the more she wants to have something real with him.

Now both of them need to decide if their relationship is worth their differences, and Amelia needs to turn into a knight in shining armour to protect her vampire lover from being staked.

Thank you NetGalley and Cornerstone for a digital ARC.

Yes !! This did not disappoint I loved the first book and was so excited for Reginald story I couldn’t put this down and read it in one day, I adored Reginald and Amelia they are so sweet and funny. I love the difference to what I normally read.
This is a fun unique sweet book that is a must read

Synopsis: Amelia Collins is successfully single but tired of her family's constant questions about her dating life. To get them off her back, she decides to find a fake date for an upcoming family wedding. After meeting the handsome and strange Reginald Cleaves, she deems him perfect for the role. Reggie, a centuries-old vampire, finds the idea amusing and useful for pretending to be human. As they practice their fauxmance, Amelia realises Reggie is loyal and not what she expected, making a real relationship with him seem fang-tastic.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆
I was excited to read another book by Jenna Levine. This book is also lighthearted and a quick, enjoyable read. The characters are adorable, and you instantly root for them. I enjoyed the tropes of forced proximity, fake dating, and a golden retriever-like male lead. While the cuteness was sometimes overwhelming, it was still a great read. I also liked how Cassie and Frederick were woven into the plot and played significant roles.

Thank you NetGalley and penguin books for the chance for a free read for an honest review !
Firstly yes!! Reginald getting his own book fangtastic:)
He is such a goofy character but unbelievably sweet.
I love his whole arc of being selfish to completely devoted to Amelia.
He even manages to keep friends and even older coats
YKYK.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes light pop culture references, touch her and you'll die, and honestly a new vampire book is always a good thought but this book is sweet fun and in some way absolutely dashing.
Now please write a book about Zelda she seems amazing and invite both vampire couples along for the story maybe even a werewolf or warlock? (just suggestions
I freaking loved this book so much it was just what I needed after reading something far to serious lol
I've never laughed so hard at a reference and a banter between friends before.
I feel like if you've ever watched Pysch Reggie is Shawn Spencer.
More of these please thank you

I really enjoyed My Roommate is a vampire so I was delighted to see there was going to be a second book is the series and had high hopes it would be just as good. But I was wrong, it was better.
I found Reginald so funny in the first book and was so happy he was getting his own. He was even more funny in this one with a vulnerable side we obviously didn’t see in the first. I loved him and Amelia together and how well they worked.
Was good to see what happened with Cassie and Freddie also.
I whizzed through the book as I didn’t want to put it down. A fun, light read that just kept me wanting more. Also, there’s some spice in there too but not too much it took away from the story.
I can’t wait for more from this author.
