This was my most anticipated read of 2024 and it did not disappoint! Jenna Levine's writing is wonderful and funny and I loved every second of My Vampire Plus-One. After meeting Reginald in My Roommate is a Vampire, I really enjoyed getting to learn more about him and hear his perspective. I also found Amelia to be a captivating narrator and main character. Their relationship, as any between a vampire and a human, was unconventional but had me swooning and rooting for them to get together. I also really liked getting to see Frederick and Cassie from My Roommate is a Vampire. Overall, an excellent read. If you are looking for a solid laugh out loud romance with a hint of vampires, this one is for you!

Honestly I love this author already !! I purchased the first one and loved the dynamic of the main characters from that book and truthfully was very interested in Reggie’s romance! He’s such a fun character and brings a lot of life to the story I love the contrast in characters for both !! It really brings the opposites attract to life . But as for the story itself I enjoyed how Reggie cared for Amelia when no one else did and I enjoyed his interest in her work regardless of the barrier of education on his part .. cute meet cute also him bumping into her on the street ! Would recommend!!

I had the best time reading this! I actually laughed out loud a few times! I loved the premise of this, fake dating is one of my favorite tropes. I also really enjoyed that there wasn’t just the wedding the mcs had to attend but a few other occasions too. The fact that Amelia didn’t believe him about his whole being a vampire thing was so funny and her reaction to actually getting it & understanding that it’s the truth was great. I mean of course she was scared but she let him explain and they communicated about it!! Reginald is one of the sweetest mmcs i‘ver ever read about! him keeping a bullet journal is amazing! the things he writes about are so!! cute, the to do lists, affirmations, his pro and cons list for dating amelia??? stop it right now! The other vampires wanting to unalive reggie and being the client at the same time was a great plot and I really want to go back and read Freddies and Cassies story because I loved them so much!
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this arc!! I can‘t wait to see what comes next in this world!

This was a fun follow-up to Levine's My Roommate is a Vampire, featuring two secondary characters from that book that run into each other (literally) and embark on a fake romance that (of course) turns into more. I'm a sucker for the "we literally ran into each other" meet cute for some reason, and I liked the way it was executed here. Amelia Collins (sister of Cassie's best friend from the previous book) is an ambitious, professionally-focused accountant who doesn't really have the time or patience for dating. Tired of explaining this to her family, she invents a boyfriend and promises to take him to all of the events leading up to her cousin's wedding. I love a fake relationship trope and this is extra fun because the person she chooses to recruit to be her fake boyfriend is Reginald Cleaves, vampire with a wild past and close friend of Fitz from the first book. Reginald is trying to avoid a group of old-world, establishment vampires who blame him for something that happened a century ago, and he also thinks that this whole fake dating thing is a wonderful practical joke to play, so he's in. Through a (more funny than frustrating) series of misunderstandings, Amelia doesn't understand that Reginald is a vampire (but he thinks she does), and as they navigate this misunderstanding they become closer, and Reginald becomes Amelia's biggest fan and advocate as she deals with her family as well as a frustrating client at work - an organization that just happens to be the same one trying to take Reginald down. A fun, quick, and quirky read.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for access to this digital arc!

This book was a rare laugh-out-loud rom com for me! Studious and proper Amelia Collins is working herself to the bone as an accountant looking to make partner at her firm, when a chance encounter with quirky but handsome Reginald leaves her with the worst (best?) idea. She needs a fake date to her family member's upcoming wedding, and who better to ask than the stranger who says he "owes her one" after their timely meeting. A fake date will keep her family off her back, without her having to actually invest her already limited time on finding a real date.

Of course, these ruses are never so cut and dry. The more time Amelia spends with the often aloof, but funny and caring Reggie, the more she thinks she might want something real. The only problem? Reggie is a 300 year old vampire, and Amelia thinks he is joking when he reveals this. Oh yeah, and there is a group of "vigilante" vampires on his trail for a crime they suspect he committed 150 years ago.

10/10 conclusion to the story when we see Amelia use her accountant skills to bring down said vigilantes and secure her happy ending!

I wanted to love this book so much, but the romance was not convincing for me. I loved the first book, so I was so excited!
It was still a fun read and Reginald was/is my favorite and I loved having him as the main character. I wish there was more banter and more drama surrounding Amelia finding out that he is a vampire. As others have mentioned, the ending was a bit anticlimactic but I will still recommend this book to people who want a fun supernatural romance.

I had the best time reading My Vampire Plus-One! It’s the sequel to my favorite book of last year My Roommate is a Vampire!

I was one of many fans begging for a story for our crazy 200+ year old boy Reggie and omg Jenna did not disappoint 🙌🏽 this book is so. much. fun. It’s fake dating- need I say more? 😏 the chemistry between Amelia and Reggie was absolutely amazing. But one of my favorite parts was getting to see my beloved Frederick and Cassie again. It felt like seeing old friends in the best way 💞

My Vampire Plus-One is out September 17th! Preorder it, besties!

Thank you so much to Berkley Romance and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was quirky and cute! I enjoyed it as much as the first book in this series! Definitely a solid read for anyone who is in a reading slump, or just need something to make you smile!

5/5

This was the perfect little book to get me out a romance slump. It was everything I wanted in a paranormal romance and I was so obsessed with this 300 year old vampire. Would definitely recommend for anyone who likes quirky and fun vampire books.

This was such a fun read! Loved the main character and couldn't put it down. A delightful page-turner.

Was happy to see a sequel to the quirky and cute vampire romance novel “My Roommate is a Vampire” by @jennalevine, who’s got a great sense of humor and imagination. Super cute story of Reginald Cleaves aka “Reggie” and the understated, unsuspecting sexy accountant Amelia. I knew what to expect with the previous story - camp, laughs, and cheesy romance. This was cute and definitely got a few laughs. I think though that the Reggie of the first book was a little funnier and I wish there was a little more explanation or introduction to him in this book that doesn’t rely on book one knowledge.

Starts with a cute meet-cute and a good story about getting out of your shell (Amelia) and learning to be more than just a shell (Reggie). It’s definitely a must-read-first-book type of read, but still cute and a Vampire Book Bae that knows how to defend his woman, while letting her be a smart accounting boss lady…sounds weird to write that plot line but worth a read.

Thanks to #netgalley and #berkeleypublishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think I liked this even more than the first one! Reginald was a really fun character in the first one and I loved seeing his character more in the second! The fake dating was super cute and I enjoyed it more that I thought I would, and you get to see a bit of what happens to Cassie and Fredrick which I loved as well!

My Vampire Plus-One follows Frederick's best friend, Reggie, and his love interest, Amelia. Reggie and Amelia meet one night after Reggie accidentally bumps into her on the street. Amelia is an accountant who has been unlucky in love. Determined to get her family off her back about dating, she approaches the man she bumped into one night and asks if he would be her fake boyfriend. Reggie accepts this new role with excitement and the two embark on a journey full of funky outfits, cold climates, and vampires with a vendetta. This is a great follow-up to My Roommate is a Vampire.

In the second book of this paranormal romance series, Reginald the vampire literally runs into Amelia, an accountant who has given up on dating. Amelia desperately needs a date to a family wedding and Reginald made quite an impression and owes her a favor. The two strike up a plan to fake date each other for the wedding.

This book was such a fun escape! It’s cute and funny with a bit of spice and cameos from returning characters (so I recommend reading the books in order). Reginald is just the best character- he’s quirky, hilarious, sweet, and I imagine his sense of style is like Ken’s in the Barbie movie. Fake dating is the best rom com trope because it is so outlandish but entertaining for the reader, and it’s no exception here! You will have a great time reading this series just in time for Halloween.

Thank you so much to Jenna Levine and Berkley Romance for the opportunity to be an early reader and reviewer and my copy of this ebook.

4.5⭐️

Idk what Levine put in this book, but it was such a fun and bingeable read. My first ever vampire romance, and I was not disappointed. Definitely the perfect book to read for the upcoming spooky season. 🧛

Reggie was such an incredible character. I’ll admit that I was unsure about him at first, but I quickly grew to love him. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about his history of being a vampire and how that shaped him. Not only did I enjoy that aspect of Reggie’s story, but I also highly enjoyed getting to watch him fall in love with a human when he least expected it. He was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful towards Amelia. While I did love Reggie’s character more than Amelia, I still liked getting to see the different parts of her life including her job and family. I just felt like her character didn’t have a ton of depth, so I wasn’t able to relate to her a ton. However, her story was still highly enjoyable, and I don’t think there was a single time that I was bored while reading this book.

It also helped me to get out of the tiny slump I felt coming on, so that says something. 🤭 The first book I’ve read in a while that actually had me excited to read!!!

I’ll without a doubt be picking up My Roomate is a Vampire this fall because I need more of Frederick and Cassie’s story (yes I didn’t read them in order oops🙊).

Read if you like:
- Vampire romance
- Forced proximity
- Fake dating
- Acts of service

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Berkley for the arc of My Vampire Plus One.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Book 1 of this series (My Roommate is a Vampire) got me into a vampire read kick. Definitely recommended to read these books in order, but they are so fun you will binge them both as quickly as possible. Book two even has some Twilight references!

Highly recommend if you are a former Twilight fan or if you are in need of some vampire romances in your life!!

I loved this book! It was hilarious and also heartwarming. I loved their romance.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This book was truly amazing! I rarely laugh out loud while I read, but this one made me in stitches. It also had a lovely romance that I could root for. I’m planning on buying this as a Christmas gift for my friends.

I read Levine's, My Roomate is a Vampire, last October with my book club and Reginald was a fan favourite amongst the group so having the chance to read his own journey was a welcomed treat. These books are written so well and Reginald is the best MC for this kind of book. He is so himself and I think that a character like Reg can be either done so awfully or so well but Levine made him the best version of himself. Really though, in any other books I feel like Reginald's character would be so cringey but Levine really leans into it and leaves no crumbs. SO SO SO GOOD!

I am absolutely obsessed with this book. There was so many laugh out loud hilarious moments. I was cracking up with Reginald thinking Amelia was aware he was a vampire. These two were so cute together and I loved seeing feelings actually develop. This was a fun and easy read.
