Books like Touch of death by Kelly Hashway
Jodi Marshall enjoys a typical junior‑year of high school, close friends, a boyfriend, and a quiet life—until a mysterious boy named Alex stalks her and reveals he too is not ordinary. Jodi learns she belongs to a rare line of necromancers born under the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus. Descendants of Medusa with poisoned blood, these necromancers wield powers that can kill with a kiss or resurrect the dead with a touch. Faced with the threat of Hades and the potential extinction of her people, Jodi must leave her ordinary life behind, master her deadly abilities, and fulfill her role as the chosen one who could save her cursed kin.
