My Vampire Plus One follows Amelia who is an accountant with a meddling family who is constantly asking about her love life and after a sarcastic remark about having a boyfriend too seriously, she has no choice but to now bring a date to her cousin's wedding despite not actually being in a relationship. Enter Reginald, a vampire fugitive and after the two bump each other one night, Amelia proposes a fake dating scheme to which Reggie agrees with his own interior motive.
While I found My Roommate Is A Vampire enjoyable, this one I found is significantly a lot better. One of my main issues with the first book was that it would've worked better with a dual pov and this time the author listened and implemented it within this book. And let me tell you, it worked so much better. I loved Reginald in this first book, and this made me love even more so I was glad that we got his pov. And maybe it's because I love the faking dating trope too much but this is everything I love in a book, the humour, the slow burn, the forced proximity? Give it all to me. Amelia and Reggie balanced each other so well, I loved their relationship and I hope to see more of them and how their relationship grows in any upcoming books.
The only issue that I had was that we could've learned more about Reggie's history a bit more, like he definitely knows who caused the fire and it has to be the witch, right? But that was only really my issue with this book. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series, like imagine a witch x vampire enemies to lovers book? I would be here for it, if there will even be another book in this series that is. So if you're needing a lighthearted romcom for the spooky season, this is the one for you.
