Bookroo's summary

Amari faces a choice: return to the supernatural world or live a normal life. But a curse turning people into machines forces her hand. As the threat grows, Amari must unravel the mystery linked to the First Magician, even if it means allying with an old foe. With the fate of both worlds at stake, can she save those she loves before it's too late?

From the publisher

The gripping fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Supernatural Investigations series that began with Amari and the Night Brothers! Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Nevermoor.In the wake of the extreme losses to the Bureau during the war with Dylan Van Helsing and the magicians, Amari has stepped back from being a Junior Agent to spend the school year as a normal kid. But as she prepares to graduate eighth grade, she’s faced with a decision: Return to the Bureau and join the elite new Junior Special Agent Program, or retire for good–which would mean safety, but also losing her memories of the supernatural world.But soon she finds that she may not have a choice. A deadly new curse is threatening both the supernatural and mortal worlds as, beneath their skin, people are slowly becoming machines–and losing their very humanity. And it’s somehow related to the First Magician.Hundreds of cases have been cropping up, with no cure in sight. And when the curse hits someone close to Amari, it’s up to her to get to the bottom of this deadly mystery–even if it means trusting an old enemy.
