Books like Dead Spots by Melissa F Olson
Scarlett Bernard is a special kind of supernatural—any creature that approaches her is rendered neutral and temporarily human. Although some are drawn to her for the experience of feeling human, others find her frightening. In this first installment of her series, Scarlett works as a supernatural crime‑scene cleaner, a job that places her in dangerous situations. When the leading vampire of her region accuses her of a brutal murder, she faces the threat of death as the designated scapegoat. With only a couple of days, Scarlett must uncover the real culprit or culprits to prove her innocence and survive.
