Hot Lead, Cold Iron (Mick Oberon 1) (Mick Oberon Job): A Mick Oberon Job Book 1

A lot of fun, with a villain you'll love to hate. - Adventures Fantastic

A mix of noir and fantasy elements is a stroke of fun and excitement from author Ari Marmell. - Retrenders

Hot Lead Cold Iron is Ari Marmell's most imaginative and strongest book so far in career. Give it a shot if you love to read lone-wolf PI stories or love historical crime mysteries or simply innovative urban fantasies. This one didn't disappoint in the slightest. - Fantasy Book Critic

For those looking to venture into a new cross-genre, Hot Lead is one series that has my recommendation. - Project Fandom

Gives the hardboiled genre a truly magical revamp. - MuggleNet

Mick Oberon is a delight and by the time the book was over, I felt like I made a hilariously grumpy friend. It's a lot of fun, and Marmell is an author I really want to hit it big. He deserves it, and this book shows a lot of his strengths. - Bookworm Blues

This book opens with fists swinging, and barely pauses to take a breath. - My Bookish Ways

The book does a nice job of never tipping its hand, with a climax that delivers on all aspects. - Bookgasm

The author leaves the door wide open for a sequel, and that's just fine: the book is thoroughly entertaining, and Mick is a likable guy with whom we'd enjoy spending some more time. Urban-fantasy fans should be all over this one. - Booklist starred review

Gripping fantastical....engaging....the potent mix of gangsters, magic, Fae politics, and a strega on the warpath makes for a ride that never touches the brakes. Marmell expertly maximizes the thrills, leaving the reader with a lingering desire for a magic wand and a glass of warm milk. Publishers Weekly starred review
