Some slightly off-track suggestions (because genres are a bit misaligned with what you're asking for):

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (The Locked Tomb series)

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

I must admit that Charles Stross' pitch is what got me to pick up the book in the first place, it's just too funny:

“Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space!” —Charles Stross
