Fiendish
The setting for this contemporary dark fantasy is a vividly realized magic realism version of the Ozarks. Clementine falls asleep as a child, only to wake up years later in a cellar closet, tangled in roots. She is rescued by Fisher, a young man with secrets of his own. Clementine reconnects with her wary aunt and glamorous cousin Shiny, and learns that magic has gone haywire in the town. The townspeople fixed it by burning the homes of the old families believed to practice it. Meanwhile, creatures called fiends (spirits or fairy folk, it's wonderfully not clarified) haunt the fringes of a place called The Hollow.
The supernatural elements are southern Gothic, the characters interesting and original. The story itself leaves you wanting to read more about this universe.

Here's a great post to accompany this book:
