My Vampire Plus-One is a delightful paranormal romp

Jenna Levine shook up the romance world with My Roommate is a Vampire and now, we’re getting My Vampire Plus-One.

If you read My Roommate is a Vampire, you will have met the hero from this book: Reginald. If you haven’t read it yet, then what are you waiting for? In all seriousness, it is best to read the first book before going into this one.

The only reason why I suggest reading the first book is that we meet the couple featured here in the first book and also learn more about Reginald. Either way, you can decide what’s best for you but it’s basically spooky season so I highly suggest it.

With that being said, I’d like to thank Berkley for sending me an ARC so I was able to read My Vampire Plus-One and share my thoughts.

My Vampire Plus-One is a funny paranormal fake-dating romp.

For those who have My Roommate is a Vampire, I think we can all agree that we were waiting for Reginald’s book. He is the side character whose book I was just dying to read and Jenna Levine made sure to deliver with this one. We’re first introduced to Amelia Collins, an accountant who is in the midst of tax season and frankly having a stressful time with a big client.

Things get even worse for her when she gets run into by a guy who Amelia immediately thinks is odd. Of course, it’s Reginald but she doesn’t have much time to think before going to family dinner. To try to get her family off her back, she says that she has a boyfriend and can’t seem to get Reginald off her mind.

The next day, she ends up seeing Reginald again, resulting in the two talking and her asking him to be her “plus-one” at her cousin’s wedding. From there, we’re watching the romance between these two blossom and it’s just so fun because these two embody the opposites-attract trope in the best way.

Jenna Levine did an absolutely amazing job, making the romance swoony while also giving us plenty of hilarious moments. I couldn’t wait to see what kind of outfits Reginald would wear or what he would say to Amelia’s father. There was also some tension and drama as Amelia and Reginald have a pretty bit of misunderstanding and watching how it all unfolds is just so delightful.

The other thing I loved was how things were a bit open-ended at the end of the book, meaning that we might get another book in the series. While it’s unclear if Jenna Levine has plans to give that character a book, I am dying for it. Please, Jenna, do it for me! Just kidding, but I can only hope we get more books in this world.

My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine is out now where books are sold.
