Thank you to the publisher and the author for allowing me to arc read this book in exchange for my honest review

Loved this book!! Very thrilling story that kept me wanting more. I loved all the secrets and tension. The plot moved along quickly but still have great character development and twists.

🔲THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10 by Seraphina Nova Glass is a tense and wild read!

Told from multiple POV's, this story takes a grieving woman whose husband has died from alleged suicide, a woman whose rich partner found a younger option, and a community of others who are just making it work in this hotel-turned-apartment and turns out an entertaining mystery/thriller!

I do have to say this lands in the more campy thrillers. This is not a slight, just an observation. The characters are hilarious at times, and the main action feels a bit like hiding behind the chainsaws kind of decision making! I felt like this made it a bit heavier on the fun side vs the tense side of the scale. I did enjoy the way some of the stereotypes are highlighted and then appreciated!

Thank you to @htpbooks & @netgalley for this ARC which did publish on April 9th! If you are ready to be entertained by a fun suspense, this should be right up your alley!

Seraphina Nova Glass does it again! Such a gripping thrilling read that’s full of twists and turns. It leaves you wanting more. I did find a couple spelling errors but I know that will be fixed prior to the release date. Well done!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! The Vacancy in Room 10 by Saphira Nava Glass is all about a life gone wrong. When Cass, a brash young woman, gets dumped and finds herself in a dive of an appartement complex, she can’t believe her bad luck. Working as the handy ma’am, she meets several people who quickly welcome her into the fold. Through a series of poor decisions, she finds herself in a tight spot that only her new friends can get her out of. She often even wonders if she’ll live to see tomorrow. The story starts off very confusing as the characters are introduced and the plot lines run parallel to one another and don’t seem to intersect. However, the intensity picks up and the slow burn creeps in. This, ultimately, held my attention until the culmination of the storylines intersected. The story line got more intense and far fetched but I ended up loving it. I would recommend to others who enjoy mysteries.

This was such a fun read! I was hooked from start to finish and just when I thought the story was going one way the author surprised me and took it another way so I was constantly on my toes. I loved the setting of this book and the little community that was formed in this small run down apartment complex. I definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a quick, fun thriller.

i did not enjoy this one. a lot of words and details but i think there was no substance to it. i don't understand the high praise this book is getting from so many people/reviews on goodreads. "best thriller of 2024"...don't get it

This was a solid psychological thriller with a bit of sass. Anna's husband calls her in desperate straits, making a vague confession that he did something that is truly terrible. Then he is found dead. Anna checks into a building where her husband kept his art studio which is in a run down building with a cast of characters. Anna is trying to find clues to what happened. This building is managed by Cass who is someone who is down on her luck and does not really want this job but needs a place to live. Anna and Cass eventually come together to solve this murder. There were moments where the book was a bit confusing and where my attention drifted but I liked the characters and it was a solid thriller and I would definitely explore other books by this author.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

While enjoyable, this missed the mark for me a bit. Things didn't tie together, as there was a lot going on. It could've benefitted from focusing on just a couple of the dramas. It was a slow burn, which isn't my preference. Most of the twists take place near the end of the book, and there was a surprise ending that I appreciated. I also enjoyed the dual POVs.

This book was wild! So many things going on but I was there for it! I enjoyed the setting, the character depth and the author's writing style. Her dry humor and strong female lead definitely speaks to me.

Told from 2 points of view- Cass and Anna. Each of them at the Sycamores for their own reasons. Anna's husband kills himself after a cryptic phone call and she arrives to clean out his studio, Cass finds herself at The Sycamores after a failed relationship. Both women seem to be surrounded by people who seem to have a lot of secrets and they all seem to be intertwined with these dumpy apartments.

I am excited to read more by Serephina Nova Glass! This book moved fast and I had all kinds of scenarios unfolding in my head! The character's were incredibly complex and the detail the author used to describe them really brought the story to life. The sarcastic tone of Cass was my favorite.

Overall fun read!! 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, this was SO addicting! I devoured it in like two days. This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be reading more from her in the future. Everything you could want in a thriller - fantastic cast of characters, creepy motel setting, perfectly-paced building suspense. Definitely a must-read thriller of the year, highly recommend!

A heartfelt thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Graydon House for providing the digital ARC that introduced me to this captivating read.

The Vacancy in Room 10 is my first Seraphina Nova Glass thriller and I will definitely pick up her past reads. She captivated my attention from the beginning and kept me hooked with her authentic character development and twists and turns. The book told two seemingly unrelated stories which added to my wonder about how it would all come together. I did wonder about a few of the details but they did not affect my enjoyment of the book. This novel was released on April 9 so it is available now!

Thank you Net Galley, Harlequin Trade Publishing (Graydon House) and Seraphina Nova Glass for the opportunity to preview this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

I was so impressed with how this book captured my attention right away. The storyline really gripped me and I didn’t put this down once I started it. Read it in one sitting and loved it. Definitely recommend!

A story of two unseemingly unconnected stories of two women that have found themselves living a very different life than they are used to at a run down apartment complex converted from a motel - full of strange and interesting residents. The story was face paces and keeps you wondering what really happened. I rated it 4 stars. See my full review @ jillandjackets on TikTok

Seraphina definitely knows how to capture and keep your interest when it comes to thrillers! I will not miss any of her books! I loved the stories between Anna and Cass and how they ended up becoming intertwined. From the explosive opening to how the story ended for both women...I would highly recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for honest opinion.

A big thank you to both NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing | Graydon House for the ARC copy of this one, which is out now!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Seraphina Nova Glass. I adore her writing style and appreciate the hidden details within her stories.
This one was definitely a great read for me! I enjoyed how the story unfolded and really liked the different characters and their development.

I almost hated the ending, but I just knew Glass wouldn't do me dirty like that! And she did NOT! It ended exactly how I wanted it to and that makes a story extra great for me!

At times this one was a tad bit slower, but all of those pieces are needed to get to the final reveal of everything. Definitely recommend this one! (and any of her others as well!)

I love Seraphina Nova Glass! Her books are easy to read and you can binge it, if life didn’t get in the way I would have for sure finished it in one sitting.

I’m a sucker for a book that takes place at a hotel or apartment complex that is run down. You just know they are brimming with secrets and no one is really who they say they are. This book had many twists and turns I didn’t see coming and I would never have guessed the outcome. I love books like this.

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade and the author for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another win from Seraphina Nova Glass! She has quickly become a must read author for me. I loved this book with a mix of shady characters! The setting was unique and the plot kept me guessing the entire book then BAM! She threw me for a loop! I liked the alternating viewpoints between the two main characters, Cass and Anna. There were many characters but they were fairly easy to keep track of and not get them confused. Thanks for the ARC!
