My Vampire Plus-One by Jenna Levine (Paperback)

My Vampire Plus-One is a paranormal romantic comedy centred on fake dating, family pressure, and a secret that refuses to stay hidden.

Amelia Collins is confident in her career and content with being single, despite her family’s constant insistence that something in her life is missing. When another wedding invitation arrives, complete with relentless questions about her love life, Amelia decides the simplest solution is to bring a date and end the speculation once and for all.

A chance meeting introduces her to Reginald Cleaves, a man who is charming, polite, and undeniably unusual. He seems ideal for playing the role of her plus-one, especially if his odd manner discourages deeper interrogation from her relatives. What Amelia does not realise at first is that Reggie is a vampire, and pretending to be human at social events is already part of his everyday routine.

As they rehearse their roles and attend family gatherings together, their arrangement begins to feel less like an act. Reggie proves attentive, loyal, and far more perceptive than Amelia expected, while Amelia starts to question the assumptions she made about him and herself.

Balancing humour with romance, My Vampire Plus-One explores the boundaries between performance and honesty, the pressure of expectations, and the unexpected comfort of being truly seen, even when the person beside you is hiding an immortal secret.
