Dead Beautiful series.
Pursued by murderous Undead and scheming Monitors, Renée and Undead Dante, who share a single faltering soul, follow anonymous letters and an esoteric map across Europe in search of rebirth. The fantasy logic here is weaker than in previous entries (particularly regarding the Netherworld's guardians and the cost of rebirth), but the novel's fated love, betrayal, and suspense are engaging.
