"What I'm Reading" Wednesday #98

This "WIR"-Wednesday I'm 2/3 through a fantastic book that I don't want to put down. If you haven't yet, you should check out...

Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff

Blurb:

Clementine DeVore spent ten years trapped in a cellar, pinned down by willow roots, silenced and forgotten.

Now she’s out and determined to uncover who put her in that cellar and why. 

When Clementine was a child, dangerous and inexplicable things started happening in New South Bend. The townsfolk blamed the fiendish people out in the Willows and burned their homes to the ground. But magic kept Clementine alive, walled up in the cellar for ten years, until a boy named Fisher sets her free. Back in the world, Clementine sets out to discover what happened all those years ago. But the truth gets muddled in her dangerous attraction to Fisher, the politics of New South Bend, and the Hollow, a fickle and terrifying place that seems increasingly temperamental ever since Clementine reemerged.

Why I Chose This Book | What I Think So Far:

I saw this book for the first time on Bookstagram and instantly fell in love with the cover. After that, I forgot about it until my trip to the library last month when I found it among the display of creepy, scary books for Halloween. I grabbed it and put it in my stack without even reading the blurb. It's taken me a while to get to it (I checked out wayyyy too many books last month!) but once I started I was hooked. The book is beautifully written and the story keeps the reader engaged. I only have about 140 pages left, which I intend to read the end of today, and I can't wait to see how it ends and who put/why Clementine was put in the cellar.
