The Vacancy in Room 10 by Seraphina Nova Glass
2.0

The Vacancy in Room 10 didn’t wow me nor keep my attention, I was easily distracted from reading. It was a slow read and impractical. However, I did finish it because I was waiting for the OMG moment. The story line is told by two women at the Sycamore apartment complex. The Sycamore was a hotel and converted into low rent apartments.
Cass was cast out by her “friends” when her live in boyfriend finds a much younger girlfriend. Not only does she have to start over with a blind sided broken heart but a castaway from all ties linked to him. Cass relies on her tools of the trade “handy ma’am” and becomes a live in rent free manager at the apartments. She has lowered her standards and uses blackmailing as an income. She seems to know and see a lot going on at the complex, hence giving her insight.
Anna’s husband rented a unit that he used as his art studio. Anna moves into his unit after the dreadful call she received from him. He said someone died because of him and he couldn’t handle the emotional trauma and guilt. His body is found and presumed suicide. However, the investigation looks more like homicide.
The storyline with the ladies at the pool and their kids swimming was real. Cartel played a part in the storyline and just became to far fetched and unrealistic.
Maybe I had higher standards because of the reviews and most anticipated book. . . To many absurd situations.
