Lingering Dead by J.N. Duncan

Heading up the F.B.I.'s paranormal unit is no cakewalk for Jackie Rutledge. She's tough-as-nails but has problems relating to people, especially since one of her close friends was recently killed and turned into a ghost. And forget about romance - Jackie's having trouble getting close to her vampire boyfriend Nick.

Now a wicked "family" is keeping ghosts in their thrall and Jackie is facing criticism on all sides. And something is chasing her down in Deadworld, a space between the living world and the supernatural one. In order to lure out a dangerous presence, Jackie's going to have to make herself vulnerable - in more ways than one.

This is a cool story of a tough FBI chick in the paranormal world taking on supernatural crimes with the help of a few friends.
