Keep on reading as here is an extract from the book that you may enjoy.
Emerging
from the shade of a cluster of tall trees, he came upon a body of
water he never knew was there – a long stretch of resplendent
liquid as far as his eyes could see. Nothing else was noticed other
than a few houses farther down and the vast forest behind him. His
beloved Pearl was nowhere in sight.
Looking
out at the water, Brandon got the sense that it possessed a mystical
quality, and stepping a few feet closer to the water’s edge, that
feeling of its esoteric attributes intensified. A hundred yards down
the sea shore, little Pearl with her brown and white fur was a mere
ten yards away from the water. She could hear the soft, gentle
voices summoning her to come closer, and for a short while, she
stood and listened as her ears perked forward to their constant
call. She soon advanced with several short steps and could hear
Brandon calling her now too, but the voices from the water were
shamelessly more appealing, more calming, and each second that
sailed by, nearly irresistible.
“Come
in!” went a loud whisper that the cat seemed to have clearly
understood. One paw hit the water and Pearl pulled back. It wasn’t
cold; it just didn’t feel…right. Suddenly, there was a slight
ripple of the water and from beneath emerged a head of long, black,
straggly, shoulder-length hair, a face hidden beneath and a hand
that reached out and grabbed Pearl’s little foreleg and pulled her
into the water. The cat’s meow was heard by Brandon a good ways
off as the animal was yanked beneath the mysterious sea.
He
started in the direction of what he thought was a squeal, then
halfway there where the ripple had been, he heard a cat’s meow.
Excitement filled his veins; he was sure he was getting closer to
his beloved Pearl. He turned his head in the direction of the water
again. It seemed to be glistening even brighter in the sun. He
thought it looked magical.
“Kitty!
kitty! Where are you?!” He stopped in his tracks, looking more
closely at the water as far out as his eyes would permit. He was
sure he had heard his cat’s cry from somewhere in the midst of it.
Standing there, he felt a strange gravitation and
slowly, he advanced to the water’s edge. “I’m coming for you,
kitty. Don’t be afraid.”

The
Lost Children of Atlantis
The
Cornelius Saga Book 6
by
Tanya R. Taylor
Genre:
YA Paranormal Mystery
Could these be the ramblings of a nutcase or could this seemingly far-fetched story about "lost children" actually be true?
Mira
Cullen, an attractive young doctor and psychic, meets old, sick,
occasionally delusional Stefanie Brussels. Stefanie claims to know
otherwise unheard-of facts as related to the shocking catastrophe of
long ago where so many had perished, but no one in their right mind
believes her. She also mentions an artifact in her possession that
was dug up over a decade earlier that holds "special powers".
Will Mira take anything she says seriously and if she doesn't, what
is bound to be the outcome?
An alluring tale and for some, an unfathomable mystery. Easily read as a standalone!
