YA - Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff

What to say about this book - I really wanted to like it, I really, really did.  I thought for sure it would quench my thirst for some fun fantasy horror.  Boy, was I disappointed.  Clementine has been magically trapped the basement of her burnt out home for years, caught somewhere between this world and the next.  When a couple of boys from town stumble upon her, one - Fisher, is able to hear her and saves her.  From there she reintegrates herself into her family and the community.  She figures out the history of her town, her craft, and the reasons she was locked away.  She poses some questions, get some answers.  The book was so awful that I'm having trouble articulating how bad it actually was.  Trust me - if you're looking for some YA fun - keep looking.
