#35 Selene by Lilith Saintcrow

Set in the same story universe as Saintcrow’s Dante Valentine series, you don’t need to have read any of the previous books to understand what is going on. Set in a post-apocalyptic where supernatural powers are out in the open but discriminated against. Selene is trying to find her brother’s killer. She is a sex witch that has been hiding her talent from the general population. Nikolai is a vampire that has had her under his protection even as she denies it. Sex witches are rare and wanted by many supernaturals to use them. The killer is Nikolai’s creator and Selene has to accept Nikolai’s protection if she wants to survive and avenge her brother. Nikolai is also attracted to Selene but she isn’t but her sex witch powers do betray her. This book also has a short story that talks about the two of them many years after the events in the main part of the book.
