The Vacancy in Room 10
by Seraphina Nova Glass
Anna’s husband calls her and confesses to killing someone, and then his body is found washed up on the banks of the Rio Grande. Anna decides to piece together what really happened and moves into his studio apartment that he used for his art. She spends her days getting close to her neighbors and absorbing gossip. When threatening letters start appearing at her door, she must decide if finding the truth is more important than her safety.
Cass has been running the Sycamores, a run-down apartment complex, for a while. Barely scraping by, she starts blackmailing sleazy men to get by. It works, until she defrauds the wrong guy. With everything to lose and no one to trust, Cass must fight to keep her secrets under wraps, especially with Anna snooping around.
I have very conflicting thoughts about this book. I struggled getting into this one and I found the majority of the book to be incredibly slow. I usually finish most books in one sitting, but I really had no desire to do so with this one and found it easy to put down and predictable.
However, despite being slow this book did have some positive points. It was incredibly descriptive, and I felt like I was right there with the characters in these shabby, run-down converted apartments. The atmospheric writing is why I kept reading as it was really the best part.
If you are looking for a suspenseful light read, then check this one out.
I would read more by this author as she really does know how to make you feel like you are there experiencing the story with the characters.
