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!

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.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was such an easy, fun read and I read it in a day. I loved the story and the characters. I can't wait to read more by the author. I highly recommend it.

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: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

In my vampire plus one we follow Amelia and her slightly overbearing family who thinks she needs to have more in her life than just her job. At family events she is often questioned why she doesn't have a boyfriend, why she hasn't settled down etc etc so one day when the family are talking about a cousins upcoming wedding Amelia loses her temper a little and tells them she has a boyfriend that she'll be bringing to the wedding. Almost serendipitously when leaving work that very same night, Amelia literally bumps into Reginald. A couple of days later Amelia has met up with a friend to try and figure out how to find a fake boyfriend for the wedding when she spots Reginald in the same cafe and I think you can guess where we are going from there.

I really enjoyed this book, even more so than my roommate is a vampire. I liked that Cassie and Frederick are also characters in this book as it was a nice way to link the stories without it being a direct sequel. I found the pacing good and was engrossed in the story, as evidence by reading it within three days.

I've learnt recently that I really enjoy the fake dating plot in stories and the internally screaming at the characters to be honest with each other and to just tell them how you feel really hooks me. I love the tension that is built by worrying that the characters might walk away from each other without knowing how the other feels.

Roomate was quite tame spice wise I would say whereas this has a good level of spice, the only thing I'm not a fan of is using the C word - I just think there are nicer options.
Aside from the romance there is also an underlying plot based around Reginald, as a vampire organisation is investigating him for something he may or may not have done centuries ago, so if you're wanting a book that is mostly romance/fake dating but also with a little bit more this is definitely for you.

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!
