Hemlock Chronicles Series by Emma L. Adams

No rest for the wicked… or the dead. I'm Jas Lyons, and as far as anyone knows, I'm nothing more than a novice necromancer who banishes the dead for a living. I might be the last surviving member of the notorious Hemlock Coven, but I've never been able to cast a spell in my life. Being a nobody is safer. At least until a near-death experience causes me to find out that before the last Hemlock witch died, her spirit was bound to mine... moreNo rest for the wicked… or the dead. I'm Jas Lyons, and as far as anyone knows, I'm nothing more than a novice necromancer who banishes the dead for a living. I might be the last surviving member of the notorious Hemlock Coven, but I've never been able to cast a spell in my life. Being a nobody is safer. At least until a near-death experience causes me to find out that before the last Hemlock witch died, her spirit was bound to mine. If I want to survive the horde of enemies hunting me down, I need to learn to use her magic, but the spirit has no interest in sharing. Worse, binding two spirits together is forbidden by the supernatural council, on pain of (permanent) death. To get my own life back, I'm forced to put my trust in a dangerous vampire with a grudge against the Hemlock witches for reasons he refuses to divulge. Someone in Edinburgh is meddling in dangerous magic, and if I don't get to the bottom of it, I'll have much worse to worry about than a few rogue spirits… less

Being the sole survivor of a notorious witch coven who dealt in forbidden magic isn't as fun as it sounds. I might have stopped an evil spirit from taking over my body, but now another rogue necromancer is on the loose, harnessing power by sacrificing innocent humans. Even with the help of the necromancer guild and my friends, it quickly becomes clear that the enemy is too elusive to find with the guild's usual methods. When a spirit line turns off, the situation turns lethal... moreBeing the sole survivor of a notorious witch coven who dealt in forbidden magic isn't as fun as it sounds.

Even with the help of the necromancer guild and my friends, it quickly becomes clear that the enemy is too elusive to find with the guild's usual methods. When a spirit line turns off, the situation turns lethal. The killer has set his sights on both me and the dark spirit who shares my body, and the only way to catch him is to tap into my forbidden Hemlock magic again. But if the wrong person finds out the spirit exists, I'll face instant execution — assuming the killer doesn’t get there first... less

For a necromancer, finding a dead body is all in a day's work. When the body belongs to a mage council member who's been killed by a shifter, though? It's definitely not good news for the council of supernaturals who've gathered in Edinburgh for the purpose of maintaining the peace. Especially when I uncover that dark magic similar to my coven's may have caused the murder. Now it's up to me to catch the culprit and prevent a supernatural war... moreFor a necromancer, finding a dead body is all in a day's work.
