4. Another Ari Marmel book, "The Warlock's Legacy"

This is a completely different genre than "Hot Lead and Cold Iron." Warlock is more the type that my mother called thud and blunder or more charitably sword and the sorcerer. I just read chapter one and a whole lot of people are slaughtered by on black armor clad warrior. It seems to be really interesting.

About "Hot Lead and Cold Iron" I would've loved for my Mom to have read it and come up with a neat name. It takes place in 1930s Chicago, which is full of gangsters of all types. The main character, Mick Oberon is Fae. If you know any of the Irish legends the faery people went underground after the coming of people armed with "cold iron." Anyway Mick chooses to live in the outer world Chicago. And work as a PI. He has a wand that mostly allows him to draw on people's emotions. He can diminish some and increase others. It's a really interesting concept. Overall this was a lot of fun.
