Summary

When YouTube ghost hunters Sam and Colby head to Kauai for an annual bro trip with two childhood buddies, they’re dying for a break from paranormal investigations—instead, they find themselves at the center of their most horrifying mystery yet。

Four best friends—Check
One unforgettable week in Kauai—Check
Sun, surf, and hula girls in bikinis—Check
A creepy mansion on the forbidden side of the island…。 Check?

Sam and Colby’s vacation in paradise goes from enchanting, to weird, to deadly, when Trey, an old acquaintance, insists they can’t leave without a visit to the legendary Na Pali Coast。 It turns out Trey has been living at the infamous Belle Estate, owned by a wealthy and eccentric widow—who locals believe is a witch。 The only thing odder than how a twenty-three-year-old college kid from Utah ended up living in a remote and isolated mansion on the North Shore of Kauai is that he is romantically involved with a woman old enough to be their grandmother。 Belle Estate’s walls hold an eerie sway over all who enter, and a dark, shadowy presence seems to be following them around the grounds。 When an unfavorable change of plans forces them to stay overnight, Sam and Colby are in for the most terrifying encounter of their lives。

I loved this book and I'm going to read it again。 I love listening to the audiobook version because it gave me more detail and suspense。 I can't believe it is based on a true story。 I love Sam and Colby very much。 I loved this book and I'm going to read it again。 I love listening to the audiobook version because it gave me more detail and suspense。 I can't believe it is based on a true story。 I love Sam and Colby very much。 。。。more

I didn't know if the book was gonna be that good, but 10/10 recommend。 One thing that did confuse me was that Trey killed Georgia like I know the reason but he couldn't have just pushed her down? And what is Trey gonna do with her body? But other than that I loved the book。 I loved the book!

Sam and Colby along with their friends Nate and Alex take a vacation trip to Hawaii。 A trip that was supposed to be relaxing, fun and memorable。 A haunt, paranormal。 Something they can’t get away from。 The story is creepy especially Georgia 。 I thought wow when I read about the demon part and 11:11 being his number while 11:11 has a whole different meaning more towards good。 The ending is fiction but overall a good read。 I’ve been following Sam and Colby on YouTube for a while。 I love their cont Sam and Colby along with their friends Nate and Alex take a vacation trip to Hawaii。 A trip that was supposed to be relaxing, fun and memorable。 A haunt, paranormal。 Something they can’t get away from。 The story is creepy especially Georgia 。 I thought wow when I read about the demon part and 11:11 being his number while 11:11 has a whole different meaning more towards good。 The ending is fiction but overall a good read。 I’ve been following Sam and Colby on YouTube for a while。 I love their content。 Along with me being into all that paranormal stuff I do enjoy watching their other content。 Such great guys! 。。。more

I fell in love with this book right from the beginning。 First, of course the wondering people starring in the book, but also the crazy adventures with their friends。 Absolutely loved the mystery behind the book and the creepy feeling or wondering “what could possibly happen next?” Making me never being able to put it down。 Loved how we had both prospective of Sam and Colby! Also loved the crazy unexpected plot twist! That literally had my jaw dropping to the floor。 ❤️😂

This story was a rollercoaster from top to bottom if I’m being honest。 It’s well-written, the style of switching every chapter from one point of view (Sam) to the other (Colby) and back was a fascinating concept and the author really did that well。 The character descriptions, the setting, the action sequences were pretty thorough and helped paint a real picture for everything except for the last 40 pages, that sequence of actions read as kind of rushed and made me feel confused at times。 She was This story was a rollercoaster from top to bottom if I’m being honest。 It’s well-written, the style of switching every chapter from one point of view (Sam) to the other (Colby) and back was a fascinating concept and the author really did that well。 The character descriptions, the setting, the action sequences were pretty thorough and helped paint a real picture for everything except for the last 40 pages, that sequence of actions read as kind of rushed and made me feel confused at times。 She was trying to write in a way to indicate time was passing fast for the protagonists and that all of this was happening in a shorter period of time because it was a lot of actions in a set time limit but it didn’t quite read as such。 You win some, you lose some。 There was humor, there was horror, and there were moments of raw and tense emotions。 This really feels like the essence of Sam and Colby captured in book form [for those of you who actually watch Sam and Colby] but I really think people who aren’t fans of their internet presence could still really enjoy this book。 This reach for diversity in audience increases the rating, but the rushed feeling at the end was a little off-kilter and that brings the rating down some。 Overall, I would give this book a 4 out of 5 which is pretty good for me! 。。。more

SO GOOD!! a little slow at the beginning but by the end i literally couldn’t put it down。 I love Sam and Colby and i hope they write more books in the future

Love it, it has a plot twist

I loved this book!! Sam and Colby’s humour shining through their storytelling was so comforting and made the ‘characters’ so easy to follow along and it felt like we were experiencing everything with them。 Felt just like I was watching one of their Youtube videos。

I’ve been watching Sam and Colby since about 2017 and I was so excited when i heard they had a book coming out。 This was definitely not a disappointment and it actually got me to want to read other books because I enjoyed this one a lot。

What a story。 Being a fan of Sam and Colby, and a fervent reader, I couldn't pass up on the chance of giving their book a go。 Having difficulties getting the book to Belgium, and then life intervening and stopping me from reading, I finally got the chance today to dive into this thrilling story。 Gotta give it to the guys, this story sure will stick with me Thanks for the experience!

I already knew i would like this book of Sam and Colby but didn’t think i would end up loving it as much as i did。 It got me hooked and i was left waiting to hear more。

I'm giving it 3。5 stars。 I've been watching Sam and Colby for the past couple years, and I love ghost stories and such, so I'll admit I'm biased。 If I were just a random person picking up this book, I'd likely only give it a 3。 The journey is better than the destination here。 I like watching their channels because there's this element of "is it real or is it not?" In this book, reading the other reviews, it seems the second half of the novel is pure fiction, which is about just as I expected。 If I'm giving it 3。5 stars。 I've been watching Sam and Colby for the past couple years, and I love ghost stories and such, so I'll admit I'm biased。 If I were just a random person picking up this book, I'd likely only give it a 3。 The journey is better than the destination here。 I like watching their channels because there's this element of "is it real or is it not?" In this book, reading the other reviews, it seems the second half of the novel is pure fiction, which is about just as I expected。 If something like the ending actually happened in real life, there would be news about it。 So it's more difficult to lose yourself in this novel wondering if all this actually happened because you know it didn't。 Personally I think I would've had more fun if they kept it similar to their videos, fantastic enough it's interesting but realistic enough you can suspend your disbelief and convince yourself this is happening in real life。 Also, the writing was。。。 alright in some places and in others felt like someone was attempting to get a decent grade on an English essay。 The writer used a huge amount of metaphors, sometimes correctly, sometimes unnecessarily and confusingly。 。。。more

2。5 ⭐oof。 the 15 year old sam and colby viewer in me really wanted to enjoy this。。。i've read worse books。 by far。 the plot was engaging and exciting and it was a suspenseful adventure all the way through - made even more chilling by the fact that most of it is allegedly true。 however, the writing was fairly juvenile, more like a lackluster fanfiction than a novel, and in this case, the idea of an autobiographical fiction book was better in theory than in execution。 2。5 ⭐oof。 the 15 year old sam and colby viewer in me really wanted to enjoy this。。。i've read worse books。 by far。 the plot was engaging and exciting and it was a suspenseful adventure all the way through - made even more chilling by the fact that most of it is allegedly true。 however, the writing was fairly juvenile, more like a lackluster fanfiction than a novel, and in this case, the idea of an autobiographical fiction book was better in theory than in execution。 。。。more

Just from the beginning of it, I automatically fell in love with it。 The every detail, and suspense made me feel like I was watching a movie in my head。 The fact that they chose to write conversations like that, made me feel like I can actually hear them talk。 They put so much details into telling what the scenery looked like。 Colby's child hood story made it more interesting。 The more details the more I felt like I was on the trip。 I could feel the creepiness and curiosity build bigger and bigg Just from the beginning of it, I automatically fell in love with it。 The every detail, and suspense made me feel like I was watching a movie in my head。 The fact that they chose to write conversations like that, made me feel like I can actually hear them talk。 They put so much details into telling what the scenery looked like。 Colby's child hood story made it more interesting。 The more details the more I felt like I was on the trip。 I could feel the creepiness and curiosity build bigger and bigger。 The ending was shocking and not predictable in my opinion。 。。。more

Okay fine I’m probably a little biased because I love Sam and Colby。 I absolutely adore these men, BUT ☝🏼 I also just genuinely enjoyed this book。 If it sucked ass I would have said so as well。It wasn’t outstanding writing, but I enjoyed it。 But then again is there the fact that I know them so I recognise their characteristics and know how to interpret actions and sayings that people who don’t know them wouldn’t。 My favourite line in the book is the weird in me found the weird in you。 I was almo Okay fine I’m probably a little biased because I love Sam and Colby。 I absolutely adore these men, BUT ☝🏼 I also just genuinely enjoyed this book。 If it sucked ass I would have said so as well。It wasn’t outstanding writing, but I enjoyed it。 But then again is there the fact that I know them so I recognise their characteristics and know how to interpret actions and sayings that people who don’t know them wouldn’t。 My favourite line in the book is the weird in me found the weird in you。 I was almost kid until I found you。Bruh my heart was swelling。 It really shows and depicts Sam and Colby’s friendship。 Which is my favourite friendship in the existence of friendships, and if you know them you know what I’m talking about。 The bond they have is impeccable。 Fantastic。 It is beautiful beyond words and so rare。 But anyways, we’re here to talk about the book。 I enjoyed and would definitely recommend giving it a chance。 Just give it a chance, open your mind to it。 It’s enjoyable! Also, I need myself to die before Sam and Colby do because I going of my experience from this book, I won’t be able to handle their deaths。 Ever。 。。。more
