Hot Lead, Cold Iron by Ari Marmell
A Mick Oberon Job (1st in series)
Publisher: Titan Books
Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢
Chicago, 1932. Mick Oberon may look like just another private detective, but beneath the fedora and the overcoat, he's got pointy ears and he's packing a wand.
Oberon's used to solving supernatural crimes, but the latest one's extra weird. A mobster's daughter was kidnapped sixteen years ago, replaced with a changeling, and Mick's been hired to find the real child. The trail's gone cold, but what there is leads Sideways, to the world of the Fae, where the Seelie Court rules. And Mick's not really welcome in the Seelie Court any more. He'll have to wade through Fae politics and mob power struggles to find the kidnapper — and of course it's the last person he expected.

Paranormal Properties by Tracy Lane
A Jake Weir YA Paranormal Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Pants On Fire Press
Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢
The Weir family has just arrived in Dusk, North Carolina, one of the most haunted cities in America, to scope out some of the town's 127 reported "paranormal properties," which just happens to be the name of their own ghost hunting show: Paranormal Properties. What Jake Weir doesn't know, and what his parents could never imagine, is that Jake can see ghosts! And hear them. And talk back to them! This talent comes in handy when he runs into Dusk's oldest, most famous ghost: Frank Barrone, a one-time lounge singer made famous by his booze-soaked ballad, "Barroom Eyes."
Frank was gunned down by a local mobster in 1951 and has been searching for his killer ever since. When he learns that Jake can see and hear him, Frank makes young Jake a deal: if Jake will help Frank find his killer, Frank will help his parents find a ghost to film for their upcoming Halloween Special on Public Access TV. Jake enlists the only friend he's made in Dusk, an overweight tomboy nicknamed "Tank," to help him track down Frank's killer. As clues emerge and old leads heat up, Frank and Jake learn they make quite a team. But will Jake find Frank's killer? And will Frank find a real haunted house in time for the Halloween special?

Sinister Sites by Tracy Lane
A Jake Weir YA Paranormal Mystery (2nd in series)
Publisher: Pants On Fire Press
Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢
As far as Jake Weir is concerned, he's living the high life. Paranormal Properties, his parents' ghost-hunting show, has been picked up by the popular Scream Channel, and if their new high-rise apartment on San Francisco Bay is anything to go by, the future is definitely looking bright. However, that future depends on one important thing: the success of Paranormal Properties' first official episode. If Jake and his family can prove themselves with an exciting, successful premiere, they get to stay with the Scream Channel — if not, well, Jake doesn't want to imagine going back to the desperate life they used to live. To succeed, the Weirs are going to have to tackle their biggest case yet.
Old, infamous, and abandoned for decades, the Balthazar Hotel is thought to be the eternal prison of its inhabitants, victims of a terrible fire that nearly destroyed the hotel in 1921. The Balthazar holds many secrets, and many memories, and as the Weirs investigate the mysteries surrounding the hotel in a race to complete the first episode, they quickly learn that things are much more complicated, and more dangerous, than they seem. Even with the help of his obstinate best friend Tank, and the fearless gangster ghost Frank Barrone, Jake starts to wonder if saving Paranormal Properties is worth it, if they may not even get out of the Balthazar Hotel alive.
