![]() ![]() ![]() The 2011 novel named Gabriel’s Inferno is our personal favorite of Reynard’s work. Accordingly, there are romance stories that focus heavily on this aspect of life, so we will in turn focus on these stories and give our picks for the best angst romance books.Ĭanadian novelist Sylvain Reynard has yet to disappoint her loyal fans, of which we are proud to say we are part. Am I doing the right thing? Are we right for each other? What if love doesn’t exist, but I’m just being led on? and so on and so forth. After all, falling in love is a period of much anxiety. As such, we can agree that this kind of feeling is very much present in romance novels. Angst is defined as a feeling of deep anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general. ![]()

It is not only a customary philosophy, but it has also taken the shape of a properly organized religion. Taoism, along with Buddhism and Confucianism, is the pillar of ancient Chinese thought. Tzu is also the father of the Taoist philosophy. ![]() The book intends to guide people on how to return to the laws and ways of nature to maintain the balance of the Tao. It is the source of all being in the world. It is extremely powerful, yet down to earth. ![]() The ‘Tao Te Ching’, literally meaning ‘The Way and Its Power’ presents the idea of ‘Tao’ as being the end all and be all of existence. In reality, the entire book can be considered as one great analogy. Like various ancient Chinese philosophers, Lao Tzu made use of rhyme and rhythm, paradoxes and interesting analogies to get his point across in Tao Te Ching. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lao Tzu’s ’Tao Te Ching’ and ‘The Book of Chuang Tzu’ are the 2 most important works in the Daoist canon and couldn’t be further separated by their stylistic approach.

The storyline was engaging, as were the characters, on the whole. I enjoyed how the various paranormal creatures were present in the story and how they interacted. But the problem is, she isn’t normal.įurthermore, when paranormals begin dying it seems that something or someone is targeting them, but why? And what does it have to do with Evie?
