Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Witch Queen Rising by Savannah Stephens.

Years ago, she fled the legacy of her mother, the former Prime who died under suspicious circumstances. Now, she’s back to claim a throne she never wanted. To survive, Phine must win over a wary magical society, navigate supernatural politics, and confront the curse slowly poisoning her kind. With a werewolf ex, scheming vampires, and buried family secrets threatening to unravel everything, she’ll have to face the past she tried to forget, or risk losing the future of witchkin forever.

Unfortunately, Obexity comes with some killer side effects, including lost stretches of time and overwhelming cravings.
