Tainted Mind - The Tainted Chronicles, #2

Chris is alone. The place he once called home has washed away. His father is dead and his only companion is the nightmare of the woman that stole his innocence. Until Martinville, he believes he's the last person on Earth. However, other than the Tainted, he discovers the small community holds two more living, breathing human beings. Nothing is easy though. Quincy, the aged grandfather, has secrets of his own - secrets that are about to rear their ugly heads.
Secrets that reveal much more about Chris's past - a past he never really knew. Then there's Karen, the granddaughter that can't help but catch Chris's eye - and steal his heart. The world has changed...human nature has not, and in the end, Chris still ponders the question: which is worse, fighting the Tainted, or trusting the living?
