🏝️🔪 FIVE MISSING WOMEN. ONE HAUNTED ISLAND. AND A WHOLE LOT OF LIES. 😳💀
OUR THRILLER QUEEN JORDAN IS BACK!! 👑📚
This week on Read Between the Wines, Mandy and Deb are joined by our resident horror and thriller lover, JORDAN, to unpack The Unknown by Riley Sager! 🍷
🎬 A struggling actress lands the role of a lifetime.
🏝️ A remote island with a terrifying history.
👻 A horror movie production that takes method acting WAY too far.
🔪 And when people start disappearing… WHO THE HELL CAN YOU TRUST?!
We're breaking down EVERYTHING: the creepy atmosphere, supernatural possibilities, shocking revelations, questionable decisions, and all those twists that had us second-guessing EVERYTHING.
And with Jordan back at the microphones, you KNOW we're going to have some opinions. 😂
Was it a ghost story? A psychological mind game? Or something even MORE twisted?! 👀
We're talking deception, revenge, obsession, and the blurred lines between what's real and what's one VERY convincing performance.
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING! We kick things off with a short SPOILER-FREE discussion before diving into FULL SPOILERS for The Unknown, including the biggest reveals and THAT ENDING!
⏱️ CHECK THE TIMESTAMPS to enjoy our spoiler-free thoughts without accidentally ruining the twists! 👀
