About the author
Kim Faulks
103 books520 followersI have been an avid reader for longer than I can remember, desiring the darker, edgier works of Bram Stoker, Stephen King, Dean Koontz. I first started writing in High School giving that away when my first attempt was nothing more than dribble. I wish now that I kept at it, pursued it with a hunger that I currently possess.
Writing is my passion, it is what fuels the fires inside of me and it is an all-or-nothing furnace that keeps me up at all hours.
I am married to a wonderful supportive husband, I have 2 wonderful kids and the best friends that I have waited some 35 odd years to meet.

Kim Faulks Fire & Ice Series is just WOW! EPIC! I absolutely LOVED this entire series! From vampires to werewolves, minotaurs, immortals and djinn. This series really has it all. So do yourself a favor and start this series today with book 1 "Reclaimed". I can't really explain how awesome or recommend this series enough. Kim Faulks is an excellent story teller, winding you up in her magic. At least a ten star series! LOVE LOVE LOVE this author. Although I am going to miss Natalie, Alexander, Malik and the crew. I can't wait to see what she conjures up next!

Great ending to this series
This last book answered all of the questions that I had from books 1-4.
I'm sorry to see the story end, I wish this last book was a bit longer.

OUT OF THE ASHES, LOVE ETERNAL IS REBORN !!!
Wow! This is my first time reading Kim Faulks and I must say, I am impressed! Emergence is the fifth and final novella in The Fire and Ice Series and what a conclusion it is! It's an amazing all you can eat buffet of danger, suspense, unknown enemies, adventure, paranormal romance, mystical creatures and past lives. The story is exciting, original, imaginative, thrilling, suspenseful, riveting, intelligent, romantic, arousing, sensual and steamy. The dialog is smart, crisp and flows beautifully. There are a few editing errors but overall, very well written. The characters are fascinating, captivating, engaging and sexy as sin. Natalie Sommers is a professional bodyguard. She is also a trained killer. She has completed two tours in Afghanistan and has licenses to carry five different weapons. As lethal as she is, her newest client, sexy Alexander Ash, just may be the death of her -again! Alexander Ash is a vampire and suffers the curse of his immortal life to always search for his beloved Kasia. He has found her in her present life as Natalie Sommers living in Sydney, only to have her ripped away by the Djinn, Malik who also loves and desires the lovely Natalie. Malik was the one who found her as Kasia in her original life, bloody and torn in the arms of Alexander and since, he has hated Alexander as much if not more than Alexander hates him. The hate shared by these two men is a deep seated hate born from their love of her and festering for centuries. Malik, an creature born of fire while Alexander, reborn in death and cold as ice - her fire and ice. They both want her and both are determined to have her! Natalie loves them both but knows she can trust neither but from the dark recesses of her mind, her heart reminds her that she could always trust Grayson, her ex-partner, the man who loved her but to whom she could never commit. She and Malik travel to Arabia to unravel the mystery of her past. But before she can return to Australia, Natalie is abducted by Kaige, a mysterious female vampire. She is beaten, tortured, starved, abused and used by the evil vampire and her cruel band of mythological creatures. Why does Kaige hate her so badly?Natalie has escaped but the cost was the unthinkable - her mortal life. Now she is more - but more what? The blood from Kaige only fuels a part of her immortality, while the other is fueled by the flame from Malik along with the underlying power from the Algerian goddess, Makkah as well as her undying love for Alexander. Natalie's search for salvation leads her back to Grayson and his healing love. Grayson will do anything, be anything and sacrifice everything for Natalie and he may just have to do all three to save her, including allying himself with Malik and Alexander. But now Kaige, her murderer and creator has summoned her back but for what reason? Can love for Natalie be enough to unite Grayson, Malik and Alexander, and combine their efforts to finally save her from the evil Kaige and her monsters? Will Natalie even want to survive - or will she finally succumb to the darkness and her animal inside? Can one immortal power conquer another? Will the remaining two sides of the triangle, Djinn of fire and Alexander of ice, be enough to break the bonds of the vampire mistress Kaige? One way or another, this hell would end but at what cost this time and who would survive - if any? Oh my! Sexy vampire-check! Handsome Djinn-check! Sexy devoted ex-partner-check! Beautiful heroine-check! A menagerie of mystical creatures-check! Suspense, betrayal, unknown enemies and danger-check! Romance, love and steamy sex-Oh yeah! And oh my god - what an ending! Faulks drew me into her web of magic and fantasy on page one and held me totally enthralled until the very last page. I could not put this book down. I loved it! Exhilarating, satisfying and entertaining!
