From Titans (Book #4) by Mary Ting
Everyone is searching for Mason.
Zeus sent Hermes, and the Oracles have used their magic, with no success. A sparkle of hope arises when Eris, the goddess of Chaos, sends an invitation to her wedding engagement party. She’s holding Mason hostage, and Skylar and her friends only need permission to enter Eris’s world to rescue him.
At the party, Eris gives them one condition: In exchange for Mason, they must travel to the Land of Reverse and bring back the bottle of gold water King Midas used to wash himself free of his gift. Further chaos follows when Eris not only sets up a hunt in the Labyrinth of Crete, but makes a bargain with the Titans she rescued.
The Titans possess power more than anyone anticipated, and Cronus is hungry for revenge after his own children locked him up in Tartarus. No one is safe. Not even the humans.

Excerpt
“Mason, MASON, MASON!” Skylar panicked.
“I know. Skylar, hold on tight. I’m going to brake.”
“But there are cars behind us.”
“We
have no choice. Don’t worry. I got this.” Mason pushed down on the
brake forcefully. The car hydroplaned to the right. “Hold on.”
Skylar
gripped the first thing her hand found. The water from the road jetted
up into the air like in a water show, but the car kept gliding sideways,
until finally it spun in a full circle and stopped. With no time to
waste, Mason turned it to the right and accelerated, hoping to dodge
what was coming toward them.
Out of nowhere, a
long piece of ice, taking the form of a spear, darted through the
trucks’ tires and punctured some of them. More ice spears came soaring
out of the rain, but this time ten or more sphere-like ice balls
followed, denting the sides of the trucks. One went through a
windshield. With flat tires, the trucks now glided as if skating on ice,
maneuvering from side to side.
“Did you do that?” Skylar asked excitedly.
“No.
Must be Poseidon’s kids. Where the hell are they?” Mason spread his
right arm out in front of Skylar as if to protect her. “Bend down, Sky.”
One
of the trucks hit another and veered off, hitting yet another one. The
crash caused the trucks to flip and tumble, heading straight for Mason’s
car. With a look of shock, Skylar held her breath. There was no time to
move, think, or get out of the car, so she closed her eyes and prepared
for the crash.
Seconds before impact, Mason’s
car flew up into the air and over the trucks. Somehow, as if by magic,
the water created a liquid bridge, guiding the car safely over, and then
it thumped hard onto the ground on the other side. Without looking
back, Mason sped away as the sound of screeching brakes and metal
hitting metal blasted behind them.
