They went looking for ghosts.
But what they found was each other - and something that refused to let go.
After the haunting at Willowmere, Sam and Amara swore they were done chasing shadows. The cameras stopped, the lights went dark, and they tried to build a life untouched by fear.
But some echoes don't fade quietly.
Whispers in mirrors. Dreams that don't belong to them. A love that feels haunted in all the wrong ways - and the right ones.
Now, with the team drawn back together, Sam and Amara must decide whether to keep running from what followed them home...
or finally face the thing that's been waiting in the reflection all along.
Because the scariest part of any haunting isn't what you see.
It's what refuses to leave once you do.
This isn't just a ghost story - it's a love story that refused to die.

Best friends Lily and Ryen couldn't be more different. Ryen's thirst for thrill and her rising YouTube fame draw them into the world of paranormal investigations. Lily, on the other hand, would rather stay far, far away from ghosts, ghouls, and anything remotely supernatural. But when the infamous Sam and Colby join their crew for a series of haunted adventures, Lily is reluctantly dragged along, her fears and anxieties growing with every step. From eerie forests to an abandoned asylum in California, the group embarks on a journey filled with chilling encounters and unexplained phenomena. What starts as a "fun collaboration" quickly spirals into a nightmare. Demonic hauntings, possessions, and dark secrets threaten to tear them apart-both mentally and physically. Can Lily's rational mind and fierce loyalty overcome her terror? Or will she fall victim to the very horrors she's spent her life avoiding?Complete
Sam and Colby stories
1st story sample: "Colby laid Sam in the back of the car, and sat next to him. Watching as he desperately gasped for air. It pained Colby to see him like this. "You're gonna be alright Sam just stay awake." Colby said. Sam's face was turning blue as he stopped making noises. "Stay awake alright." Colby begged, as Sam's eyes closed. "Sam wake up! You've gotta stay awake!" Colby shook him." Hey, just wanna let anyone know who plans on reading this, that these are just gonna be short stories, but if you like any and want me to make them into a full book I gladly would! :D And this is my first time writing, so any tips would be extremely useful! This is like 3 years old and discontinued, but it has a lot of reads so I want to leave it up lolComplete

Use they/them pronouns Uses strong language, if you are uncomfortable with swears, don't read No smut, I don't feel comfortable writing it. WARNING - This is my first book, and I'm quite new. Please don't judge me a bunch. I will take constructive criticism. Also, this book does not follow Sam and Colby's real life timeline. They will still be living in the apartments well also going on investigations with Amanda. I need to adjust things to work with my storyline, so sorry if that upsets you.

Shadows and Sparks ~ Sam Golbach
It was just past 7:30 PM in Los Angeles, and golden hour clung to the skyline like honey on skin. The air buzzed with that warm SoCal energy-equal parts freedom and tension. You'd spent the afternoon wandering around the city, head tucked into a hoodie that wasn't yours and a cigarette slowly burning between your fingers. Your boots tapped against the cracked pavement outside an old Victorian building-abandoned, eerie, and unmistakably familiar. You hadn't planned on stopping here. You were just walking, headphones on shuffle, letting Taylor Swift bleed into Chase Atlantic, when the building caught your attention. It looked like the kind of place Sam and Colby would film at, and sure enough-just across the street, a matte black SUV was parked slightly crooked. A camera bag sat on the hood. You froze. Out of the corner of your eye, movement. The door of the building creaked open, spilling out laughter, voices-their voices.Complete
