Goodreads:

Remy O’Malley heals people with touch—but every injury she cures becomes her own. Living in a household with an abusive stepfather, she has healed untold numbers of broken bones, burns, and bruises. And then one night her stepfather goes too far.

Being sent to live with her estranged father offers a clean start and she is eager to take it. Enter Asher Blackwell. Once a Protector of Healers, Asher sacrificed his senses to become immortal. Only by killing a Healer can a Protector recover their human senses. Falling in love is against the rules between these two enemies. Because Remy has the power to make Protectors human again, and when they find out, they’ll becoming for her—if Asher doesn’t kill her first.

Why am I waiting for it?

Her power is exactly like Maria V. Snyder's character Avry in Touch of Power. Even though this fact bothers me one is fantasy, and this one seems to be paranormal so I'll read it. I'm very curious about this type of power. Call it…research.

~Nate's Rules~

Wearing two sweatshirts, a scarf, and mittens, Nate looked like he was ready to go sledding.

          He clasped his hands together. "Okay, new rule. No more fighting in the living room amidst the expensive furniture and breakable windows. I'd rather not let in any additional cold drafts, on the slight chance our immortality doesn't extend to hypothermia."

          Gabriel rolled his eyes.

          "Dude," Nate said, tightening his scarf. "It's freezing in here. We're immortals, not snowmen. On, and also?" He looked at Tristan and shrugged. "No more sneaking away with deadly, immortal-killing weapons with the intention of, I dunno, dying." Nate held up his mitten-clad hands. "Nobody approves."

          Tristan crossed his arms again.

          "Okay." Nate took a deep breath. "Now that we're all caught up on the new no-no's of the house, what do you say we find a tarp and some duct tape and MacGyver ourselves a new window in the living room? Just, you know, to keep out the wind…and the leaves…and any sharp-toothed woodland creatures prone to attacking people in their sleep.

          Tristan raised a brow.

          "What?" Nate shrugged. "Death by dragon? Awesome. Death by rabid forest squirrel? Not cool, man. Not cool."

          "You're immortal, Nate," Gabriel said.

          "So? That doesn't mean I want rabies."

Overview

Be careful what you search for…

Emma Guthrie expects this summer to be like any other in the South Carolina Lowcountry--hot and steamy with plenty of beach time alongside her best friend and secret crush, Cooper Beaumont, and Emma’s ever-present twin brother, Jack. But then a mysterious eighteenth-century message in a bottle surfaces, revealing a hidden pirate bounty. Lured by the adventure, the trio discovers the treasure and unwittingly unleashes an ancient Gullah curse that attacks Jack with the wicked flesh-eating Creep and promises to steal Cooper’s soul on his approaching sixteenth birthday.

When a strange girl appears, bent on revenge; demon dogs become a threat; and Jack turns into a walking skeleton; Emma has no choice but to learn hoodoo magic to undo the hex, all before summer—and her friends--are lost forever.
