ah yes
The 36 dramatic situations. How on Earth did I ever forget to metion that one ? ah well...on the other hand, reading what kind of books you like, and give that I am reading the last one at the moment, I couldnt help but think that you would really enjoy reading Laurell K. Hamilton ''s Anita Blake novels. They are told from the first person, and the girl herself, who is a necromancer/vampire executioner is having more than a few problems to deal with in her busy life, not the least being dating an alpha werewolf and a vampire prince (well, not in the first books, that is.) The whole beauty of this series is to see her slow descent and acceptance of what and who she is, while trying not becoming a true monster (as in, a sociopath).
There is sex (not really in the first books, though, as the heroin is a true believer of no sex before marriage), there is violence, quite a lot in fact, lots of weird monsters, and a never ending amount of powers and weird stuff happening all around her (not mentioning the fact that, as a vampire specialist and necromancer, she works for the preternatural police unit). Did I mention that this was an alternate universe were monsters really exists, vampires are recognised by law, etc ? Yeah, pretty cool stuff
Just go and read the reviews on Amazon, but I think the style would fit your description
Sancte Isidore ora pro nobis !
