4-6Forbidden Library series.
Alice is a Reader, able to enter different worlds via powerful books and work magic by subduing creatures trapped within (The Forbidden Library). When Esau-of-the-Waters, an Old Reader, is murdered by his apprentice, Alice is employed to bring the apprentice to justice. With an original concept, a spirited heroine, and tantalizing incipient relationships among the apprentices, Wexler's series grows stronger with each book.
