My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine is a fun paranormal romantic comedy and the second book in the My Vampires series.

You can count on this series to provide a fun romp! The artists always do an amazing job on the covers, too!

I had a lot of fun reading this one. I read the eARC on my Kindle Paperwhite, which meant I ended up reading it before falling asleep each night. But then I got sick with an ear infection, and my brain was unable to focus on reading! This book took me a lot longer than it should have for me to read, but it’s not the book’s fault.

Once I got my faculties back, I ended up inhaling the last half of this book in one sitting. I fell in love with Reginald in the first book in the series, My Roommate is a Vampire, and I was so glad to delve further into his character in this installment and watch him pull our FMC out of her shell.

There’s a bit of a meet-cute moment when Reginald, fleeing from The Collective–a group of vampires who have been trying to kill him for centuries–literally runs into Amelia, an accountant, in the street. After a few other chance meetings, Amelia asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend because she needs a date to her cousin’s wedding in a few weeks, and a few other family obligations along the way.

Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes, and is used in a really charming and fun way here. Communication and consent are both very important to both Reggie and Amelia, which I love to see. The spice is nice and there’s a bit of dirty talk, but there are also many many times where Reginald shows how much he cares by doing acts of service.

If you’re looking for a fun and lighthearted paranormal romance, you should give this one a try!

Tropes in this book include: fake dating, forced proximity, epistolary (text messages, emails, journal entries)

I received a copy of this book to review. Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the complimentary eARC. All opinions contained herein are my own.
