We have an interesting request from a reader :

I’m looking for story about a woman who has sex with a ghost of a man who was burned for being a witch.

 

Hard to say if this is a type of story the reader is looking for, or a particular one. It seems pretty specific to me, but maybe there are lots of these kinds of stories out there that I just don’t know about. But there is a series that comes immediately to mind, and that is the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison. In this series, there is a character, Pierce,  a ghost of a man who was burned for being a witch,  who has a long and complicated relationship with Rachel (really, everyone in the series has a long and complicated relationship with Rachel, unless they get killed, and sometimes even that’s not enough).

There are two possibilities in the series. The first is a short story, ” Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel”,  the story in which 18-year old Rachel first meets Pierce. I haven’t read this, so I don’t know whether sex is actually involved, but in the books she refers to Pierce as the one against whom she has measured all other relationships,  and it’s a story rather than a novel, so maybe that’s it.

The other is the novel Black Magic Sanction. This is novel length, and as with most Rachel Morgan books, there are all kinds of craziness involving a rather large cast of characters, but it does feature Pierce and Rachel spending a night together.

As a side note, I have read the novels in the Rachel Morgan series, and Rachel drives me batty. But the world Harrison created is a really neat one, and the secondary characters are just great. There’s a good chance that urban fantasy readers will be hooked, at least for the first half of the series.
