The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

In the world created by Olivie Blake in The Atlas Six, there is a magical world that exists alongside our regular world.  Here you have six candidates, all with different powers, that are recruited to join the Alexandrian Society that formed around the great library of Alexandria that was not destroyed in a fire, but was hidden by its protectors and is now overseen by its caretaker, Atlas Blake.  Libby and Nico are skilled in moving and changing things in the physical world.  Parisa is a telepath.  Reina can control the natural world.  Tristan can see through all magic and ultimately magic itself.  Callum is an empath who cares little for anyone.  They must compete for the five slots available and at the same time protect the library.  There is also quite a bit of sexy sex among the candidates, making elimination a difficult choice.
