2.0

This book really embodies the phrase 'Go girl give us nothing'. What a messy book. Summary of my thoughts:
Bad writing. Repeating phrases.
Well-written gory scenes
Terrible plain dialogue.
Underdeveloped characters.
Boring plot. 
Unspecifed antagonist. We never get answers if it's ghosts, or a cursed land, or both, or maybe evil plants/mushrooms. Could it be something else, or all of the above?
I'm giving it 2 stars because it's a debut novel. Otherwise it would be zero.
