Give me a story about a troublesome mother/daughter relationship mixed with a deluded cult and you have my attention. Top that off with a killer cover and I am smitten. Godshot by Chelsea Bieker had me from the moment I cracked it open.
Godshot felt like a mixture of White Oleander with a touch of The Sound of Gravel. I am drawn to books with about a dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. For a debut novel, Bieker knocks it out of the park and I look forward to what she puts out next.

If White Oleander and Demon Copperhead had a baby, it would be this book. Lyrical, engaging and thoughtful.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual assault
Total page turner centering on broken people, belief, and mothers and daughters. My only complaint was how neatly it wrapped up, but sometimes it’s nice to get a happy ending after such a difficult story. You get something from that in fiction that you usually can’t in nonfiction (but speaking of nonfiction- if you’re interested in a nonfiction take on a young woman coming of age in a cult pick up Sex Cult Nun).
