We LOVE a good popcorn thriller and that's exactly what this was! Super twisty, super fun to read. The revelations punch you in the gut while you just try to hold onto what happens next. Truly a great ride.

I've discovered this author a couple of years ago and she has yet to disappoint. She's extremely talented at not only crafting mysteries that will keep you guessing but also creating characters that you feel that you know inside and out. She's especially good at writing female characters that don't make you cringe over their dumb decisions at every turn. During multiple POV books, I usually prefer one over the other, but Cass and Anna both had me captivated. There are some crazy things that happen, I literally was gasping at the reveals. If you need a summer thriller, this should be your top pick.

Anna gets a phone call from her husband with a confession of murder. Then his body is washed up on shore. Then Anna decides to move into his studio at the Sycamores. Cass the motel manager does maintenance on the Sycamores. Very secretive book and the twists were a surprise.

The Vacancy in Room 10 is a page turning read that is told through Cass and Anna's point of view. What happens when Anna's husband dies and she is left with so many questions? Why is Cass determined to keep Anna in the dark? To find out make sure to read this thrilling book. The author wrote this well and every character in this one was interesting. It kept me guessing until the end and was suspenseful. Overall, I highly enjoyed this one and would recommend to any reader who likes thrillers or mysteries. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/ Graydon House for this read in exchange of my honest review of The Vacancy in Room 1o by Seraphina Nova Glass.

I really wanted to like this book, because I have liked the author's previous books. The premise sounded very interesting, but unfortunately, I couldn't get into this story, and so I ultimately decided to DNF.

Some of this was okay, but it lacked something. It was slow, and I had a hard time picking it up. (2.5/5)

Finally getting around to reviewing this one!!! I highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed this read!! This was my first book of Seraphina Nova Glass and I'm excited to jump into her other books. The storyline was so intriguing and kept me guessing throughout the whole book. The characters were all so different/diverse and you never knew what was going on or who to trust. Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read and review this book.

I had this book on my TBR forever and WOW, was it worth the wait. SNG does thrillers sooo well. She also never fails at writing characters that you simply fall in love with. I loved Cass. Smart and headstrong. I lived the dual PIV and also loved the relationships everyone developed at the hotel. This was fast-paced but never once did it feel rushed.

I went into this one completely blind, opting for it because I enjoy stories where a hotel or motel is the main setting. This is my first book by the author and I can say I really enjoyed it. I think the ending came together a bit fast and was a bit far fetched but I still enjoyed the journey and the overall ending and message. I’ll be checking out more from this author in the future.

This story centers on two women, Cass and Anna, whose worlds connect in the craziest way. They both end up at a motel for different reasons. Anna is mourning the loss of her husband who used a room at the motel to paint. Cass is mourning the loss of her relationship and works at the motel. Secrets are buried at the motel and Anna and Cass are on the verge of unburying some.

It started off slow for me. There are a lot of different characters in this story, many of whom I suspected of shady things. I did like the dual POVs between the two women. I found the mystery intriguing. It really picked up half way through the story and at that point I needed to know how the story would play out. All in all it was a decent story.

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Graydon House, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I enjoyed reading it!

Here’s what I liked about the book.

-Fast paced
-Excellent writing
-Unique

I’ve read all of @seraphinanovaglass books and you can’t go wrong with any of them! This was a drop everything book for me so I read it the second I got it and it didn’t disappoint! If you need a bingeable thriller highly recommend!

The Vacancy in Room 10 is a chilling psychological thriller full of secrets and twists. Glass’s atmospheric writing keeps you on edge, questioning everything until the very last page.

So, the Vacancy in Room 10 had a decent plot.

This book relied heavily on Anna being dumb and making poor choices. Anna could have been smart, precise and within her right mind vs how she came off. She knew something was off and wanted to find out what happened to her husband. But to sell your house and stay in the apartment he rented as a "studio"; just to judge everyone within the vicinity didn't make much sense to me. Even with everything coming out, she treated her husband like a saint - when he was also in the wrong. And not that being wrong warranted death.

Cass, I understood from the beginning and respected. Cass always knew more than people thought, and I knew that because of her "job" and the access she had to everyone in the Sycamores.

Anna infuriated me in this book, and the plot twist would have been more appreciated if it was more cohesive to the story.

"The Vacancy in Room 10" is a bingeworthy, twisty thriller. I went in blind after seeing so many stellar reviews and wasn't sure what to expect, but I was immediately hooked on the story and couldn't put it down. It was a wild ride full of unexpected plot twists. The story is told from alternating viewpoints of Cass, the motel manager, and Anna, who moves into the motel to investigate her husband's death. I really enjoyed the dual POVs, which created so much suspense. I also loved the author's vivid and descriptive writing, which made me feel like I was right there at the run-down motel. This was my first Seraphina Nova Glass novel, and I will definitely be reading more!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Graydon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I usually enjoy anything this author writes, but this time it fell flat. The story and premise were unbelievable. The main character couldn’t be this dense and still live to see another day. Still, the writing is great and the end tidy. I would have liked to see more depth to the story.

I enjoyed this one. The twists and turns kept me going and whenever I thought I really knew what was happening, another curveball was thrown. This is exactly the type of novel I expect from Seraphina Glass and look forward to her next read.

I went into this one with zero expectations and felt very entertained by this cast of characters. There were two main storylines that both occur in (or adjacent to) an apartment complex known as The Sycamores. Each of the two storylines held my interest, but what really makes this book is the whole vibe at The Sycamores. I love stories with close groups of friends that become your chosen family. This is a non-traditional chosen family with its fair share of drama, but they look out for each other. It was a little over the top at times, but I enjoyed it.

This book pulls you in from the very first page and keeps you guessing until the final, jaw-dropping twist. It’s a dark, atmospheric thriller with characters so vivid they almost leap off the page.

The story revolves around Anna, whose life is turned upside down after her husband, Henry, leaves her a cryptic confession before his sudden death. Her search for answers leads her to The Sycamores, an eerie, rundown motel-turned-apartment building filled with strange and suspicious residents. At the same time, we meet Cass, the jaded apartment manager whose secrets are just as dangerous as everyone else’s. Their lives intertwine in unexpected and shocking ways as the tension escalates.

The setting is one of the novel’s biggest strengths. The Sycamores feels alive, almost like another character in the story—its grim corridors and shadowy corners adding layers of unease. Every interaction Anna has with the residents is fraught with suspicion, and Cass’s sharp, morally gray personality adds even more intrigue to the narrative.

What I loved most was the pacing. Seraphina Nova Glass knows how to build suspense masterfully, dropping twists and turns that left me reeling. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, another layer would be peeled back, keeping me hooked until the very last page.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book with the quirky apartment people and the mystery behind the death of one. I liked how the POV chapters connected. I just liked reading this book, didn’t have to think too hard and just enjoyed it.

This book hooked me right from the beginning not only with the plot but with the writing as well! I loved how the mysteries all started coming together at the end as well!
