How can love mend a heart full of hate?
.
Small town girl, Molly Bennett, moves to Los Angeles where she becomes an outsider while attending Beverly Hills High School. It seems life cannot be any more dreadful. Then one day after school, something magical happens. On a secluded hike in the Hollywood Hills, Molly chases her disobedient mutt and only friend into a hidden cavern. She stumbles upon a strange glimmering gateway that transports her to Arkana, a planet that is the cradle of an advanced human race. There, teenagers navigate amazing flying vehicles, compete in perilous games for glory, and possess supernatural powers. While Molly tries to wrap her mind around this unbelievable discovery, she meets the alluring and mysterious Victor Sorren. He is a Sentinel Apprentice, whose hatred toward people from Earth is beyond understanding. Yet every time Victor unpredictably saves Molly's life, his heart draws closer to hers, no matter how much he tries to fight against it. It further complicates things that their growing friendship is strictly forbidden. Earth people are prohibited in Arkana, yet Molly continues to cross through the portal to Arkana to see Victor. Torn between their double lives, they go down a dangerous path, from where there is no return and multiple endings.
Would you fight to be with the one you truly love? What cost would you be willing to sacrifice for that love?
Fields of Elysium is a suspenseful romantic tale full of forbidden secrets, unimaginable danger, deception, and the never-ending fight for true love.

Review by: Theresea Wasson on May 09, 2013 :
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Find a magic portal, go to an alternate earth with advanced technologies, no pollution, different animals and everyone gets along (most of the time). Add in teenagers and you have Fields of Elysium. The story kept me hooked from the very beginning. I read the entire thing in 10 hours :) There were several instances of religious tones to the book, but nothing that was smack dab in your face religion which I liked.

Molly is a 16 year old who's parents move from New Jersey to Los Angeles (talk about a culture shock to anyone) and she is having a hard time adjusting. On one of her many rambles she comes across the magic portal that takes her to Arkana, which she finds out later is an alternate earth. While there, she meets up with Victor who wants nothing to do with her. As her friendships blossom with other people in Arkana, she is continually drawn to Victor, and he begins to find himself drawn to her which he continually fights because it is illegal for Arkanans to have anything to do with earthlings.

The only thing that kept me from giving this book 5 stars were some minor errors in story continuity, spelling and grammar. I also felt the ending was too abrupt. The story could have ended on a different note. I look forward to the rest of the series
