Being dead is like being born again and again for as long as there are thoughts to occupy...but what if your thoughts areTAINTED?Nefarious – fronted by the charismatic, but troubled, Mai Evans – is poised for stardom when fate puts amateur guitarist Blue on the center stage. What follows is a fast lane to success - and an even faster downward spiral of drugs and sex…love and jealousy…madness and murder. The end leads back to the beginning – to the pool of Mai's dark creativity…and a curse he believes threatens to destroy everything and everyone he touches. But is the source of evil more mortal – and deadly? The truth awaits in the biggest lie of all. JD Phillips' 2006 breakthrough novel is now available in this exclusive Words Take Flight Books release. Named first runner up in the 2007 Best Books of Indiana Awards, Tainted is a psychological thriller that draws you in to the hard-living - and equally dark and seductive - world of Nefarious. Phillips - and Fate - traps you together with Mai and Blue in a place between reality and unreality, between demons of the mind and the remains of the soul, with only one way out...the way you went in. |
