Book excerpt: I’m a pawn between two ancient gods and I’m done playing their games. We survived the not-so-final battle, but our short-lived victory came with an immeasurable cost. We didn’t defeat Okeus; we played right into his hands. Now, with new threats pressing in from several sides, and those who I thought would always stand beside me nowhere to be found, new details about my mother’s murder are forcing me to challenge everything I thought I knew. I foolishly believed I had nothing left to lose, but after a devastating loss forces me into a fight against an ancient cult, I’m left with only one option, a bargain with the God of Death himself. Every bargain comes with a cost, and this time, that cost might be my own eternal life.

Book excerpt: What do you do when the gate hell opens and all the creepy crawlies come rushing out? I failed. But that doesn’t mean I’m giving up. My heart may be shattered by Colin’s betrayal, but I refuse to let humanity pay the price. After a disastrous trip to a self-professed expert in the Lost Colony, I’m running out of ideas. Taunted by vengeful demons, all I have to fight them is a vague memory of the curse passed through my family and the practically useless information I find on the internet. Every day brings the world closer to being overrun by demons. I fear I will have to face the god Okeus’s wrath alone until an unexpected offer of help comes from the most unlikely of places. I’m terrified to trust him, but with the fate of the world on the line, how can I say no? The second book in The Curse Keepers Series ratchets up the romantic tension and raises the stakes to impossible heights as Ellie races to save not just her friends but the world.

Book excerpt: When the keepers meet for the first time, the gate will be opened. Two little rules have kept me safe since my mother died protecting me: always trust your instincts and forget everything about the curse. But when I accidentally activate an ancient catastrophe I’ve spent my life running from, breaking the seal on the gates of hell and ripping the lost colony of Roanoke back through time and getting the attention of a vengeful god in the process, rules go out the window. I can barely keep myself alive, and now somehow, it’s my responsibility to save all of humanity? We’re screwed. My only hope is to learn everything I can—everything I should have already known—from my fellow Curse Keeper—Collin-effing-Dailey. Collin can lay on the charm when he wants to, but he’s made it clear he’s not happy I’m a novice at all of this. Unfortunately, I feel a pull to him I can’t chalk up to supernatural powers. My instincts beg me not to trust Collin, but I’m out of other options. We have seven days to save the world, and the clock starts now.

Book excerpt: Book Three of the Curse Keepers series. For centuries the gods have waited--for the betrayal that will release them, for the traitors who will defend them, for the warrior who will challenge them. Now at long last the gate between the human and spirit worlds is open, and with it, an army of vengeful demons poised to swarm the earth. Only the Curse Keepers, Ellie Lancaster and Collin Dailey, can stop it...if they can break free from a tangled web of treachery, jealousy, and lies. Torn between two men--her heart belongs to David, yet her soul is bound to Collin's--Ellie no longer knows who she can trust. Demons slipping through the gate are leaving a trail of bodies in their wake, each death a chilling reminder of the power of the ancient spirits to bring humanity to its knees. Faced with an unimaginable future, Ellie realizes the time has come to turn her back on prophecy and choose her own destiny--even if it means defying the gods themselves. In the thrilling conclusion to the Curse Keepers trilogy, humanity faces its final battle for survival!
Download or read book Paradoxes of Gender written by Judith Lorber and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking book, a well-known feminist and sociologist--who is also the Founding Editor of Gender & Society--challenges our most basic assumptions about gender. Judith Lorber views gender as wholly a product of socialization subject to human agency, organization, and interpretation. In her new paradigm, gender is an institution comparable to the economy, the family, and religion in its significance and consequences. Drawing on many schools of feminist scholarship and on research from anthropology, history, sociology, social psychology, sociolinguistics, and cultural studies, Lorber explores different paradoxes of gender: --why we speak of only two "opposite sexes" when there is such a variety of sexual behaviors and relationships; --why transvestites, transsexuals, and hermaphrodites do not affect the conceptualization of two genders and two sexes in Western societies; --why most of our cultural images of women are the way men see them and not the way women see themselves; --why all women in modern society are expected to have children and be the primary caretaker; --why domestic work is almost always the sole responsibility of wives, even when they earn more than half the family income; --why there are so few women in positions of authority, when women can be found in substantial numbers in many occupations and professions; --why women have not benefited from major social revolutions. Lorber argues that the whole point of the gender system today is to maintain structured gender inequality--to produce a subordinate class (women) that can be exploited as workers, sexual partners, childbearers, and emotional nurturers. Calling into question the inevitability and necessity of gender, she envisions a society structured for equality, where no gender, racial ethnic, or social class group is allowed to monopolize economic, educational, and cultural resources or the positions of power.
