My
Thoughts:
Cassie needs a place to stay as she’s about to be evicted
for late/non-payment from her current apartment. She’s been struggling to make
ends meet as an artist, working two jobs to get by when an advertisement for a
room pops up sounding too good to be true.
The apartment is gorgeous, as is her roommate/landlord, but
he’s a bit odd, but Cassie’s out of options and Fredrick seems harmless. That
is until she finds his stash of blood in the fridge! Once the shock wears off,
Fredrick has a proposition for Cassie: stay and help him navigate the 21st
century.
I had a good time with this fish-out-of-water kind of story,
with Frederick trying to figure out and fit into modern society after being out
of it for a hundred years. Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan but Cassie
and Frederick fall bit by bit over notes, text messages, and experimental outings.
My Roommate is a Vampire was a cute, light-hearted romance
that cracked me up and made me smile! Plus, got to love a book that pays homage
to Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

Book Description:
True love is at stake in this charming, debut romantic comedy.
Cassie Greenberg loves being an artist, but it’s a tough way to make a living. On the brink of eviction, she’s desperate when she finds a too-good-to-be-true apartment in a beautiful Chicago neighborhood. Cassie knows there has to be a catch—only someone with a secret to hide would rent out a room for that price.
Of course, her new roommate Frederick J. Fitzwilliam is far from normal. He sleeps all day, is out at night on business, and talks like he walked out of a regency romance novel. He also leaves Cassie heart-melting notes around the apartment, cares about her art, and asks about her day. And he doesn’t look half bad shirtless, on the rare occasions they’re both home and awake. But when Cassie finds bags of blood in the fridge that definitely weren’t there earlier, Frederick has to come clean...
Cassie’s sexy new roommate is a vampire. And he has a proposition for her.

About the author:
By day, Jenna Levine works to increase access to affordable housing in the American South. By night, she writes romance novels where ridiculous things happen to beautiful people. When Jenna isn't writing she can usually be found crying over k-dramas, starting knitting projects she won't finish, or spending time with her family and small army of cats.
One of my favorite parts was when they were watching Buffy. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI love Buffy! And I'm so glad to see that you enjoyed this one so much. Some other reviews of it have not been so positive. But I think it looks like a lot of fun. :D

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a fun and quirky read! I'm always up for a good fish-out-of-water story, and the mix of humor and romance has me intrigued. Plus, any book that pays homage to Buffy the Vampire Slayer gets bonus points in my book! Thanks for the recommendation!
I was curious about this. it sounds like a fun, quirky romance.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds so fun for when you want something on the lighter side. I'm sure all the Buffy references would go right over my head (I've never seen it) but it still sounds like a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds like a light, fun PNR. I'll have to pick it up at some point.
