Road Trip with a Vampire by Jenna Levine is a delightful blend of humor, heart, and supernatural romance that brings a satisfying close to her My Vampire series. Full disclosure: I’ve been a fan from the start, thoroughly enjoying both My Roommate is a Vampire and My Vampire Plus One. This final installment continues the charm and delivers a fresh, fun love story.

In this book, we meet Grizelda “Zelda” Watson – a once-feared witch who has swapped her magical antics for inner peace – now teaching yoga and living a peaceful life in California. That peace is quickly disrupted when a vampire named Peter Elliott appears in an alley, watching her.

Peter hasn’t come to fight; he’s come for help. Sent by Zelda’s old friend Reggie, Peter is struggling with amnesia and searching for answers, armed only with a cryptic journal and fragments of memory that point to Chicago. As her magic becomes more difficult to control, and their relationship builds, she decides that joining Peter on a cross-country trip to Chicago might allow them to find answers to both of their problems

Even if you’re new to the series, Road Trip with a Vampire works well as a standalone. Previous characters make appearances, but the focus stays squarely on Zelda and Peter’s journey, both literal and emotional. As a returning reader, I especially loved learning more about Zelda and her past capers with Reggie.

The romance here simmers at a satisfying pace, with just the right amount of spice. But what really makes this book shine is the witty banter and heartfelt conversations between the leads. Their chemistry feels natural and warm, and the humor adds an extra layer of charm. My only small critique is that the final conflict between them felt a bit drawn out, but it doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.

This is a sweet, slightly spicy, and genuinely funny romance with just enough magic to keep things interesting. Highly recommended for fans of paranormal rom-coms or anyone looking for a feel-good, heartwarming read.
