Firstly I would like to thank Jenna Levine , Random House UK, Cornerstone | Penguin and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of ' My Vampire Plus - One ' to read in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Due for publication in September , the novel follows the story of Amelia Collins who is tired of the bombardment of questions from her family regarding her love life ( or lack of it ) . In order to deflect the attention she seeks out somebody who could pose as her date to an upcoming family wedding. Upon unexpectedly meeting a stranger , her wishes come true when she finds Reginald . Engaging in a faux romance , secrets are uncovered and Amelia finds out that Reggie’s bark might be worse than his bite . . .

I read the first book in anticipation of the new release and loved every minute of it . I was ecstatic to receive an advanced copy of the second follow-on novel after hearing that Reginald was going to play a big part and I could find out more about his captivating character who took more of a background role in the debut of the series. Reggie always came across as intriguing with too brief an introduction and part - he was certainly worthy of a novel of his own.

I loved the book's cover it is eye-catching and definitely an attention grabber on any shelf. It ties to the feel of the book completely.

The author certainly has a unique writing style that keeps the reader engaged. Her humorous insight into the lives of vampires trying to navigate the modern world is contemporary , quirky and strangely relatable. I cherished the continuity from the first novel and the fact that the reader was given further understanding into the lives of the characters we had got to know and love. I would suggest that the books are read in order due to the tie- ins .

I personally preferred the second book over the first. It was an easy read that kept me engaged and wanting to turn the next page. I am already looking forward to a potential third book so I can get lost in Reggie and Fredrick's world again . Quirky , Fun and I cant recommend it enough

After reading My Roommate is a Vampire, I knew that I definitely wanted to carry on with any further books in the series, and this one didn't disappoint! Taking Reginald from the first book and turning him in to the romantic lead seemed like quite the task,but Levine accomplished it so well that I think I may even prefer him to Frederick, as he has so much personality and charisma! It was also good to get snippets of how Frederick and Cassie's relationship was growing from the first book.
This book sees Amelia, an accountant in need of a fake date for her wedding literally running in to Reggie, an eccentric, bullet journalling vampire on the run! After coming to a mutually beneficial fake dating arrangement, they get to know each other better and realise that maybe there is more there after all, all while navigating family events and evading a secret Vampire organisation! I really enjoyed the development of their relationship and how they really grew to understand and see and appreciate each other for who they really were.
It's a case of opposites attract in this fake dating romcom and what a romp it is! This book is fun, funny, sweet , and steamy. I'm definitely hoping for more in the future!

I absolutely loved the first book and this one did not disappoint but the first is still my favourite.
The book is well written and easy to follow. I loved all humour and romance of the book. It’s one of those books that just makes you laugh at little parts.
The book follows Reggie our eccentric and odd Vampire. We met Reggie in the first book and I’m so happy he got his own book and romance. Reggie is trying to hide from The Collective in plain site when he accidentally runs into Amelia outside a coffee shop. Reggie ends up agreeing to a favour for Amelia which is to be her Fake Boyfriend for a family wedding. This is to get her family off her back about her working too much and being single. It’s not long before the pair end up being snowed in at a cabin and Reggie re-revealing his secret. Amelia not realising he was being honest before about the secrets he was revealing!
It’s not long being feelings develop and a relationship blooms between the pair.

Overall a cute, funny and enjoyable read.

Thank you to the Publisher, Author and Netgalley for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Jenna Levine delivers again in her supernatural romcom, following up on "My Roommate is a Vampire." This time, we focus on Reginald and Amelia's story.

We got a brief introduction to Reginald in the previous book, and he quickly captivates in this one. He’s quirky and unapologetically himself. Additionally, we get to see how Cassie and Frederick’s romance has developed.

The story centers on Reginald and Amelia fake dating for a family event, which quickly evolves into genuine affection that neither wishes to admit to themselves.

This book was just what I needed. The banter between the characters and how well they match each other is perfect.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a sweet and fluffy rom com with an entertaining amount of genre-savviness. I loved the set-up that Reggie fully thought he'd already told Amelia about being a vampire, and the brilliantly awkward misunderstandings that ensued. However, I just couldn't get on board with either main character - Amelia was pretty bland, and Reggie was so... childlike? He was meant to be this optimistic ray of sunshine character, but instead he was just out-and-out stupid and weird, and not in a fun way for me. I couldn't find him interesting as a romantic lead at all. The subplot was better than the romance, but still rather silly. Overall, if you're looking for a silly beach read, this would be a fun one.

My Vampire Plus-One - Jenna Levine

I was terrified to start this book because I loved My Roommate is a Vampire so much, but I shouldn’t have worried so much, because My Vampire Plus-One has all the same quirky fun and frolics as the first book and we even get to catch up with Frederick and Cassie along the way.

This book follows Reginald (Fredericks annoying and prank loving “friend”) and Amelia, an overtaxed accountant.

Amelia is a hard working accountant who is currently in the middle of the tax season, she’s trying unsuccessfully to balance work and personal life, her family are constantly making comments on the fact that she is still single and she’s had enough.

One night during a family dinner she blurts out that she is currently seeing someone, which she immediately regrets, she is currently very happily single, but with 6 weeks until her cousin’s wedding can she find a fake date to get her family off her back once and for all?

Reginald is a fun loving, prank pulling easy going vampire, who ‘sees humans as friends and not food’, his dress sense is questionable but the most boring thing in the world to him is to fit in.

Until he starts getting threatening notes from The Collective about an incident that happened over a century ago, he enlists the help of Frederick who suggests that maybe he needs to fit in to evade capture and survive, and it's gloriously fun reading about Reggie wearing Fredericks clothes.

One night when Amelia’s and Reginald’s worlds quite literally collide they realise they could be the answer to each other’s problems, they embark on a plan of fake dating to stop Amelia’s families comments, and who would look for a vampire at a human wedding?

I honestly loved this book, it was so much fun to read and I was hooked right from the start. This is the perfect book to read for Autumn/Halloween, and if you're like me during a heatwave!

Some of my favourite quotes are:

“...My most prized possession: a framed oil painting of Edward Cullen on the wall above the sink, sparkly and magnificent…” - Reginald

“...you can go back to dressing like a stolen car.”

I want to thank Jenna Levine and Random House UK for providing me with this ARC.

Ahhhh I loved this! I love the first book in the series and I loved this one also! Jenna you are amazing and your writing is phenomenal

Thank you for my earc of this book. This was a fun premise but ultimately didn’t keep my attention so I dnf

This book was an incredibly enjoyable read, combining humor and romance in a fresh take on the vampire genre. It follows the story of overworked accountant Amelia and eccentric vampire Reginald as they engage in a fake dating scheme. The narrative is filled with exciting elements such as man-hunts, snow days, accountancy battles, and weddings, making it a dynamic and engaging vampire rom-com.

The characters are vividly portrayed and immediately captivating, especially with the refreshing departure from the typical brooding, mysterious vampire archetype.

While the inclusion of council meeting notes, bullet journals, and emails added a fun layer to the storytelling, some of these sections were overly lengthy and occasionally disrupted the flow of the narrative.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and appreciate the unique twist it brought to the genre.

3.5 ☆
So cute and funny!!
I might admit that I enjoyed the first one a little more.
Obsessed with these vampires romcom!!

Thanks to Netgalley, Penguin UK Cornerstone and the author for providing me with this ARC!

My Vampire Plus-One follows accountant Amelia Collins, who ropes a stranger who owes her a favour into pretending to be her boyfriend to appease her family for an upcoming wedding. Little does she know, however, that Reginald is a vampire fugitive, on the run from a group of vampires who want revenge.

In terms of plot, it’s a very straightforward story with no major plot twists (since they were all very obvious) and uses the tried and true meek female protagonist who doesn’t put her needs first and tends to let people take advantage of her good nature.

The real selling point for me is Reggie, who breaks the moody, brooding vampire stereotype and is instead a literal ray of sunshine.

Overall, a nice, quick, easy read that doesn’t require too much thought and has minimally spicy scenes.

I absolutely loved the first book (My Roommate is a Vampire) so I was so excited to read this.

This story follows Amelia, a workaholic who is so fed up with her family prying into her love life (or lack of) she decides to invite a fake date to her cousin's wedding. That's where Reggie comes in, a centuries old vampire, he's cute, hilarious, quirky and he's got an absolutely filthy mouth. The romance between them is fast paced and full of banter. I really enjoyed how their story unfolded and how attentive Reggie is, he helps Amelia learn to let go a little. Amelia is pretty badass and helps Reggie throughout the story. Although there were some miscommunication elements I wasn't a massive fan of, it could be forgiven easily.

We get to catch up with characters from the first book and see some further developments with Cassie and Frederick which I really enjoyed. I love that Reggie spends his time bullet-journaling and evading the vampire society who are hunting him. The collective element is entertaining and reminds me of the Neighbourhood Watch Alliance in the film Hot Fuzz.

This book is super fun and easy to read. It has some real laugh out loud moments and some really cute and steamy romance. I enjoyed it as much as the first and highly recommend it as a great palate cleanser.

Thank you to the author, Jenna Levine, the publisher, Random House UK, Cornerstone - Penguin and Netgalley for providing me with the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed seeing a different side to Reginald (Reggie), in fredrick and Cassie’s book Reggie was very jarring and chaotic. He still held on to some eccentric and chaotic tendencies in this book but it was more endearing this time round.

I really liked seeing Amelia’s walls come down and the side Reggie bought out of her even if it did start out as a fake dating scenario. The plot thickens with the collective on Reggie’s tail and this causes some strain on his and Amelia’s arrangement, but it made for fun and interesting problem solving.

Absolutely loved it! i didnt think i would enjoy it as much as i did the first book because that was also a 5 stars for me but oh how wrong i was!!!

wonderfully unique, funny and quirky.

'But for you I would brave a blizzard just to see you smile'

Amelia Collins is super busy at her job as an accountant with tax season in full swing, but when another family member announces they are getting married and pressure from her family to bring a plus one mounts she tells her loved ones that she already has one, now she just needs to find one. Que Reginald who literally runs her off her feet and promises her a favour for his indiscretion, he must be the perfect candidate to fake date the only problem being he happens to be a vampire.
This book includes
- fake dating
- he falls first
- one bed
- snowed in together

This book was such a brilliantly fun read and breath of fresh air, it had an interesting new take on vampires and the MMC Reginald was such a quirky and kooky character rolled into a cinnamon bun package. The way the relationship evolved for Amelia and Reginald was so natural and well written, it wasn't forced and had me kicking my little feet as it happened.
This book is an interconnected stand alone and although it can easily be read as it's own book it does have a fair amount of the characters Frederick and Cassie from the first book 'My roommate the vampire'

The plot for the book was really interesting and when the book took a spicy turn I was thoroughly surprised at how good the scenes actually were so much so that I wanted more.

The only thing that I would have like to have seen added to the book was having a full length scene between Reginald and Amelia's brother.

'If her eyes had been open, she'd have seen it written all over my face just how desperately I was falling for her'
This book was highly entertaining and can't wait to read more from Jenna Levine in the future

This was SUCH a fun read! It follows overworked accountant Amelia and eccentric vampire Reginald in a fake dating rouse. With man-hunts, snow days, accountancy battles and weddings, this was a really dynamic take on the vampire rom-com.

The characters were really interesting and came off the page instantly for me, I liked the move away from the brooding, mysterious vampire especially.

The extracts from council meeting notes, bullet journals and emails was fun, but some of these were quite long which sometimes took me out of the narrative.

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

3.5 Stars
This was a super cute Vampire Romance. We follow Amelia a hard working accountant and Reggie an Oddball Vampire. They enter into a fake dating arrangement and end up falling for one another. There story is endearing and fun. A super easy quick read. I loved Reggie, his bullet journaling was so adorable and the ways that he took care of her were heart melting. He was super sweet and a great dynamic MMC. Amelia was an interesting and fun character to spend time with also, she was dedicated and compassionate throughout the novel and I grew to love her. I did feel that there chemistry was a little lacking at times and i wanted more from them in that regard. I also felt that their outer relationships weren't massively fleshed out either and wanted to know more about their friends and history etc. However I loved them both and thought that their personalities worked really well together. The plot of this book was fun, and kept the story moving at a great pace. I did enjoy My Roommate is A Vampire more as I loved Frederick's old timey way of speaking and that whole spiel was entertaining for me. However this book was still great and lots of fun. I loved getting to see Cassie and Frederick from MRIAV throughout this book and seeing them continue their story was adorable. I did wish that we got more of a friendship between Cassie and Amelia and was a bit disappointed when that friendship didn't seem to strike up. It is a great read for if your looking for a cute fluffy Vampire X Human fake dating romance. If you loved book one in this universe you will probably love this one too.

After reading My Roommate is a Vampire by the author, I was expecting the same sort of quirky romance and Jenna Levine did not disappoint! Frederick and Amelia were absolutely adorable and I think this is the first time I’ve actually liked the miscommunication trope, simply due to how uniquely and hilariously it was used. The tension was simmering throughout the book and their chemistry was off the charts. There were still so many sweet moments and of course, it wouldn’t be a Jenna book without a side plot that is completely ridiculous but brings the whole story together.
Highly recommend to anyone who likes romcoms with a little twist, lots of humour, and quite a bit of spice.

A vampire romance which doesn't take itself too seriously.
A slight slow burn romance with main characters that had a spark of chemistry that blossomed throughout.
An interesting and fun read.

THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING! It’s the book I didn’t know that I needed to read and therefore proceeded to spend a whole evening reading it in one go. What higher praise can there be?
It has laugh-out-loud moments, tearjerker moments, tug-at-your-heartstrings moments as well as some yep, life’s a bitch moments that were honestly so relatable. I was notified of this book’s availability on NetGalley from the publisher after reading, loving and reviewing Jenna Levine’s previous vampire meet-cute ‘My Roommate is a Vampire’. Honestly, I think that this book is even better than the first and has secured a place for Jenna Levine on my ‘authors books to always read list’.
I loved that this book picked up on the previous two characters, Frederick and Cassie, but that you don’t necessarily need to have read the book for it to have an impact on this storyline - although I would definitely recommend the read! Reggie is every bit as endearing and sweet as you want for a cinnamon roll MMC, even with ‘Old Fuzzy’! He falls hard and I love that we see his thoughts through the bullet journaling, this was a great twist!
The banter between the characters is brilliant and witty, including all of Reggie’s double entendres. Some of my favourites include:

‘I look forward to faking it with you.’

Amelia: I’m getting ploughed!
Frederick: That’s what she said.

There is some spice in this rom-com (with bite) but is perfect for the storyline, which progresses quickly without leaving any details out. It is wonderfully romantic and light-hearted as we see these two trying to navigate the perils of fake dating without catching feelings.
I would honestly recommend this wholeheartedly and look forward to it coming out in print so that I can actually add it to my physical collection! ❤️

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️

Tropes:
He falls first
Close proximity
One bed
Fake dating
Age gap 😂
Slow burn

Thank you to NetGalley, Jenna Levine and Penguin Random House for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
