Nothing sucks more than fake dating a vampire in this paranormal romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate Is a Vampire.

Amelia Collins is by definition successful. She would even go so far as to say successfully single. But not according to her family, and she’s tired of the constant questions about her nonexistent dating life. When an invitation to yet another family wedding arrives, she decides to get everyone off her back once and for all by finding someone–anyone–to pose as her date.

After a chance encounter with Reginald Cleaves, Amelia decides he’s perfect for her purposes. He’s a bit strange, but that’s fine; it’ll discourage tough questions from her family. (And it certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s very handsome.) For centuries-old vampire Reggie, posing as her plus-one sounds like the ultimate fun. And if it helps his ruse of pretending to be human, so much the better.

As Amelia and Reggie practice their fauxmance, it becomes clear that Reggie is as loyal to her as the day is long, and that Amelia’s first impressions could not have been more wrong. Suddenly, being in a real relationship with Reggie sounds pretty fang-tastic.

I absolutely adored My Roommate Is A Vampire so I knew I had to read this one... and I was not disappointed!

I really enjoyed Amelia and Reggies fake dating that turned to something real. The vampires in these books are always so quirky and entertaining that you won't want to set this one down! This is definitely a slow burn just like the last one by Levine.

Reggie was so eccentric and I loved it! He wasn't quite as funny as Fredrick was (he had me cackling at his antics). But I loved the vulnerability he shared with Amelia and how he quickly fell for her. I also loved how they balanced each other out and gave each other exactly what they needed.

The spice was ok? I would have loved for more spice - but that's just me. The tension between them could definitely be felt through the pages as you are reading.

Overall, a 4-star read for me. This will make the PERFECT fall read with a little bit of paranormal elements plus a cozy love story. If you were a fan of My Roommate is a Vampire then you will also adore this one! The epilogue was perfect and I loved the updates we got to see with Cassie and Fredrick. I am secretly hoping for an update of some sort on Reggie and Amelia with the next book if there is one.
