The Red Files by Lee Winter
5.0
Okay, I don't even know where to frickin begin! This is the second book I've read from Lee Winter and thank God it was just as spectacular and as wholesome as the first book I've read from her. Seriously, she has this way of keeping you up ALL NIGHT reading until you're almost halfway through the story. And it frustrates me to no end!--in a good way.
Anyway, we got Lauren, who's an ambitious and determined journalist, and Catherine, who's also a journalist with an icy cold character, opposing to the former. I really liked their dynamic together. It was kinda bit like an enemies-to-lovers trope since they have this sort of love/hate relationship going on between them which I definitely LOVED!
Also, Winter's writing is just *ULTIMATE CHEF'S KISS* because I hung on every single word as I read paragraph through paragraph. Her way of portraying mundane scenes didn't bore me out at all fr. And the characters are just filled with "character" if you know what I mean. And to top that, I was a bit bummed out I only finished this in less than two days (probably even less than a day sans the eating and sleeping) because right when I read the first chapter, I couldn't dare to put my phone down! IT WAS JUST THAT GOOD THAT I ALMOST CRIED! So yes, I think won't be able to sleep tonight that much because of what had transpired reading this wonderful book. It would probably take me days to recover from this post-reading sadness but I will certainly recuperate once I get to read the short sequel of this book, because like I said, I couldn't get enough of it and I want to fill this empty void inside of me with Lauren and Catherine's love ;(
