Review: Interesting Idea, Heroine is a Total Idiot

I hate to write bad reviews, but I could not finish this story.  The heroine is just too much of a stammering, blushing, hand-wringing, lip-biting, do-everything-wrong-she-possibly-can, incredibly annoying nitwit.  The story careened from one disaster to another, always courtesy of the heroine's moronic actions.  I could not take it any longer. I have known 3-year-olds with better sense, logic and impulse-control.Every bad situation that happens is created by the heroine's determination to do things her way, even when she is warned of the danger and even when it is obvious (even to her) that she Does Not Have A Clue what is going on.In just the first few chapters, she deliberately returns to her evil uncle (after she has already been rescued by the hero), almost kills herself with an overdose of drugs, causes the hero to pledge himself forever to be the slave of an evil madman, acts rude, snotty, disrespectful, ungrateful and immature to the characters who try to teach her how to protect herself and use her powers and irritates and insults the only people who can help the hero.The premise was interesting, the writing wasn't bad and the hero was OK, (although why he was attracted to such a knuckleheaded twit is beyond me.)
