My Vampire Plus-One – Jenna Levine

My Vampire Plus-One follows Amelia Collins, a successful accountant tired of her family’s relentless questions about her love life. Desperate for a fake date to a family wedding, she recruits Reginald Cleaves, a centuries-old vampire with a flair for drama and a fuzzy coat. Reggie, hiding from a vampire collective, jumps at the chance to pretend to be human—until their faux romance sparks real feelings.

As Amelia and Reggie navigate awkward family gatherings and late-night tax filings, their chemistry grows. Reggie’s loyalty and hidden depths clash with Amelia’s no-nonsense personality, creating a clash of opposites that feels electric. The story balances laugh-out-loud moments with tender scenes, like Reggie’s quirky bullet journal entries tracking his newfound emotions.

Levine weaves in supernatural stakes, including a centuries-old feud and Reggie’s mysterious past, without losing the story’s lighthearted charm. Cameos from characters in My Roommate Is a Vampire add depth to the shared universe. The novel’s climax ties up loose ends while leaving room for future adventures.

Themes of self-acceptance and trust shine through, as Amelia learns to embrace spontaneity and Reggie confronts his fear of commitment. The dialogue crackles with wit, and the romance feels earned, avoiding clichés. Fans of quirky paranormal rom-coms will adore this blend of humor, steam, and heart.
