When Anna’s husband calls and confesses to killing someone, followed by his body washing up on the banks of the Rio Grande, it’s up to her to piece together what really happened. After moving into the run-down motel-room-turned-apartment he rented as an art studio, Anna spends her days getting closer to the neighbors and absorbing every bit of gossip about her husband and the buildings’ tenants. But the more she learns, the less sense things seem to make. And when threatening letters start appearing at her door, Anna has to decide what’s more important—the truth, or her own safety.
Cass has been running the Sycamores, an apartment complex that has seen better decades. Barely scraping by as a superintendent, Cass starts blackmailing sleazy men, threatening to expose them and ruin their lives. It’s easy, and it works, and nobody gets hurt—until she tries it on the wrong guy. With everything to lose and no one to trust, Cass has to fight to keep her secrets under wraps, especially with Anna snooping around asking questions…
My Opinion
The Vacancy In Room 10 by Seraphina Nova Glass is a thriller set around an apartment and a murder. The plot revolves between two characters, Cass and Anna. Their lives are totally different from each other but get entangled due to fate. Although it was dual POV which makes the plot a bit easy to understand but too many things are going on with the characters at the same time. There are drops of mystery to maintain readers interest after every few pages. But, the most abundant thing in the plot is what the character thinks inside its head. So, the story gets a little bit lengthy to finish. The book is worth a one time read if you like slow plot and average characters. The book keeps your mind invested to reach the climax. For me the book deserves 4 stars. Thanks to the author for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
