THERE IS HUNTING OF MERMAIDS…
They are no longer safe in the human world…
When they imprison, one of her closest mermaid friends in a science lab for investigation, Cordelia insists on taking up the quest to find the lost island of Atlantis, a sanctuary for all the water species. But the dragon kings guard the island. They are an ancient and formidable race with a determination to keep it for themselves.
Together with her best friends and her boyfriend, Wade, they must travel to distant pockets of the earth to collect the three magical jewels that open the portal to Atlantis.
But no one remembers how the jewels work. The instructions are non-existent, and tensions are rife as Wade’s ex-girlfriend, Stephanie, appears on the scene. Plus, Cordelia must learn to harness her own emerging powers and discover if she really is the fire mermaid.
With the support of Wade’s parents, Stephanie determines to win him back. Cordelia’s heart breaks as she watches the love of her life waver. They must be united in their quest, or the jewels will refuse to reveal themselves.
If they can’t repair their broken relationship and defeat the dragon kings, the mermaids will be captured by the humans and face the threat of extinction.

Quest For Atlantis Review:
Wow, “Quest for Atlantis” was a fantastic sequel compared to the first book. From sea witches to dragon kings and Seattle to submarines, this book just had everything! The sequel feels so vastly different from the first book. It’s as if the author decided to amp up the adrenaline, pack the book with adventure and romance, and give it more oomph.
Firstly, let’s talk about the drama. Oh my goodness, so much activity was happening with our core characters! I wondered if their relationship would survive the secrets and scandals. I loved Stephanie in the picture to stir up Wade and Cordy’s relationship. Similarly, the Dylan, Trent, and Maya triangle was so good, and I liked how Maya got importance in the tale. Even Cordy’s relationship with Dylan is intriguing, and you see the strain it causes on Cordy.
Secondly, the author fills us with adventure as they go to save a mermaid from the lab, fight creatures in a cave and encounter a sea witch, to name a few. Moreover, I enjoyed how the author built on the fantasy world, where we see people hunting down mermaids like a prize as social media spreads their existence. There are so many shocking twists that I didn’t see at all, especially toward the end.
Thirdly, I adored some of the new additions. Gal is one of my favorite characters in the story, and I enjoyed how complex the author made his storyline. Similarly, even Merida is memorable and gets more presence. There were minor consistencies (like how we don’t hear about the ashrays), but the story is so good that I ignored it.
Overall, I loved this book and hope the author continues the series.
