This book was…okay. I was hooked into the story, but then it started to seem so far fetched. By the end of it, I was less invested and just wanted to tie up the loose ends of the story so I could move on to the next.
Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing and Graydon House for providing this book, with my honest review below.
I had read On a Quiet Street by Seraphina Nova Glass previously and I loved it so much I was excited to read A Vacancy in Room 10 to see if it would capture some of the same elements in the style I so enjoyed. I was not disappointed. A complex thriller focused on two women, Cass and Anna, this book was unique and kept my guessing with a plot that was rich with characters and different drivers. I enjoyed the ‘supporting cast’ as well as the depth brought to Cass and Anna as we explore their lives.
This is not a popcorn thriller with a flat plot, it is a well written book that pulls you into a vivid world and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this to all readers, fans of thrillers or just good fiction.

The only thing about this book that made me unhappy is that it wasn't at least three times as long. I hope Ms Glass is working hard on her next novel and if there's a way to put a hold on it even before it's announced, I'll do so
3.7 rounded up. This was very enjoyable but also could be vanilla at times. I enjoyed the comedy the most and all the characters outside of the main two. There were predictable moments but also some surprising ones. I was a little worried for the ending but thankfully she made the right choice. I wish he would have been punched in the face, but you can’t have it all.
Overall a really interesting mystery! I've only read one or two of Seraphina's books so far but I have enjoyed what I have. I wouldn't really call it a thriller y but it seemed more of a mystery for me - but in a good way!
I was a little disappointed when it kept switching POVs right as they figured out something - but honestly, that's just part of the game. I found it interesting how they wove so many seemingly random stories and events into one good ending. I enjoyed the whole thing! It was a quick read but very captivating.

FMC would rather rob men than sell her designer clothing and for that I have to stan. Smashing the 5 star button because hell yeah girlfriend I'm with ya.
There were so many twists and turns in this book that had me on the edge of my seat majority of the time which is always really exciting for me.
I didn’t love the dual perspectives, and found myself enjoying Cass’s chapters more but overall it was a fun time!
I think my favorite part was the found family aspect at the apartment complex.
