This concise yet profound guide to Buddhist pilgrimage will be an essential companion of any Mahayana or Tibetan Buddhist pilgrim. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse's fresh and easy-to-read writing style appeals to anyone generally interested in Buddhist topics; he has a wide audience that extends beyond his personal followers. While a few small presses have published translations of Buddhist pilgrimage guides written by Tibetans, there is currently no major publication written by a contemporary Tibetan master.
Dzongsar Rinpoche begins with teachings on the significance and meaning of holy sites and, in particular, the importance of the four locations of the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, first teaching, and death. After explaining how one should practice at each of these sites, he provides detailed instructions on spiritual practices to be carried out while on pilgrimage, such as taking refuge, making confession, and offering mandalas. Throughout he prepares Westerners for the dusty, chaotic Indian environment and even offers some advice about dealing with fake monks and beggars at the holy sites. The book also includes appendices containing prayers and mantras that can be recited.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days.
To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness.
The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted.
This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark.
Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down!
Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell!
Read if you love:
🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels
🪽 Academy setting with magical trials
🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn
🪽 Rivals to lovers
🪽 Hidden identities and secrets
🪽 Tend your wounds

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

A tale beautifully told!
Format: Kindle
That's what this was. Once again, Natalia Jaster spins a magical fable of passion and wonder, dazzling me with her poetic prose.
I've been looking forward to discovering this new world ever since the author announced her next series. Needless to say, I do not feel disappointed at all. Jaster's world-building is top notch, and the universe of Dark Fables unfurls before the reader in all its alluring possibilities as the story goes on.
Faerie lore in this book nods towards the traditional - Fae cannot lie but their deceitfulness is notwithstanding, Fae are immortal but not invincible, they love riddles, bargains and a good bawdy revel. Yet, there is an original spin to it, and I love how the Fae are portrayed by the author. Horrifically beautiful and just plain horrific, decidedly n o t human, yet not immune to the full range of human emotions and behaviours. Blue-skinned, covered with fur, antlers, wings and horns, they are not barely a mirror image of unusually pretty humans, only immortal. They're Vicious Faeries.
And I L-O-V-E it!
Then, there are the characters. Both Lark and Cerulean are extremely likeable - more than that, actually! Why do I even limit myself to these lukewarm expressions?! I simply adored them, Lark especially. She captured my heart with her free spirit and boisterous, daring demeanor. Together with Cerelean, they make for an intriguing pair, giving as good as they get. Their cat-and-mouse, human-fae, enemies-to-lovers dance makes for a deliciously captivating story.
Their love story has all the enemies-to-lovers goodness one can hope for, with a sparkly red cherry on top that is a mates trope done well. Personally, I've gone from loving to dreading the mates trope in recent years, but I'm still partial to it, if it's executed in a certain way. And I truly loved it here, because it leaned towards reinforcing the idea of choice being the driving factor in love and relationships, rather than fate. Yes, it was still magic, and involved serendipity and mythical bonds, but it made for a background to characters' actions and choices without overpowering them.
Lark's and Cerulean's battle of wills and hearts will wreak havoc on your feels, but it will do it while transporting you to a beautiful and treacherous world of Faerie. The wordy descriptions, alliterations and old tales paint a vivid picture of this universe, and I, for one, loved immersing myself in this world.
Natalia Jaster has this peculiar writing style - a blend of poetry with profanities, fancy old-time expressions fused with explicit ones. It has its own tempo, might be hard to follow sometimes, but it's so original and never ceases to amaze me.
It also makes me greedy. Just finished reading and I already feel this bookworm's itch to get my next fix, which is the upcoming book in this series. I cannot wait to read Juniper and Puck's story, as well as Cove and Elixir's. More than that, and I truly hope I'm not mistaken, I think what Jaster is setting up here is a part of a bigger universe. So yes, I want to get to know The Solitary Forest and The Solitary Deep. But Middle Country, the home to Vicious Faeries, is only 1/3 of the Dark Fables. So please give me The Northern Frosts and The Southern Seas as well. Elves, dragons and all the magic in between.
As for "Kiss the Fae" - what more can I say? This one gets a strong merry 4.5 stars from me. If you're a fantasy lover, I can only urge you to join Lark on her journey, to cross the border beyond The Triad into the Faerie, and walk along her through all the terrible marvels of that land.
"Don’t look down. Watch your step. (...) Lose your path. Find your way."
(P.S. As in, your way straight into the *online* store to buy this book!)
