The Dark Easy
Martin and The Hat are gun toting ex-cons retrieving overdue books and exacting painful fines for a New Orleans occult library.
They’re sent to Chicago to roust an abracadabbler who’s skipped town with borrowed books. But the job goes sideways and the guy ends up under Lake Michigan. Worse yet, Martin’s being used to find an infamous book that jeopardizes the Library’s true keep magic and the supernatural contained before they destroy the world.
Enter a hustling gangster, a cannibal occultist, and the Head Librarian’s matricidal daughter, all looking to run the Library for themselves as ancient tensions between Hell’s biggest cities threaten humanity.
At the risk of losing his soul, Martin must rely on hardboiled instincts honed in a violent past and survive the schemes of lethal magicians, bad tempered angels, and spell binding demons to save New Orleans from an infernal future.
Because in The Dark Easy, when a library book is overdue, there’s Hell to pay.

Most libraries charge you fees when you do not return a book by the time it is due. But the Library is not your normal library, the Library has a division called “Fines and Overdue Books”. The Library, and its different branches, is where books on the occult and its many areas of study. Working for Maman LeFleur, Martin and his helper “The Hat', are sent to Chicago from New Orleans to retrieve a stack of books that are overdue from Roman, a habitual offender or keeping books past their due dates. When they find Roman he winds up running away from Martin and winds up under Lake Michigan. This is the start of a family feud between Maman and her daughter Teresa, with plenty of side fractions, on who is going to control the Library and all the secrets it contains.
We follow Martin and The Hat, who at one point is killed but keeps appearing to Martin, but with an octopus on his head, as they try to contain the feud so that Maman remains in control of the Library. Along the way Martin sees plenty of deaths, some by means that could be done by spells that he has not seen before, and even visits Hell while still alive. All in all The Dark Easy is a story that tells us a behind the scenes if all of the important, and powerful books about the many aspects of the occult were actually real and help in special libraries. An enjoyable book either way.

An excellent start to what I hope is a lot more to come in this series. Love that this supernatural world is built on top of a city I truly love. This is a great new twist on the world of magic. Will be looking forward to what comes next!
Enjoy!!

This is not my typical book. I normally don't go for books on the occult, noir thrillers. But, my god, I didn't realize that this was something that I'd been missing in my life. It made me laugh at times, and I just needed this. It was strange and unusual, and it was gritty and new to me. And I loved that it didn't hold back on the language, and it's just all good and no bad, all shades of grey with the characters. There's lots of references to pop culture, and it's so easy to forget that it's set in the modern day.
The normal library will just charge you a fee when you don't return a book on time. But the library is not your typical library. The Library has a special division called “Fines and Overdue Books."” The Library, together with all its different branches, is where all the books are on the occult and all the different areas of magical study.
Martin and his helper “The Hat” work for Maman LeFleur. They are sent to Chicago from New Orleans. They are supposed to retrieve an entire stack of books that are overdue from Roman. He's a habitual offender. He keeps the books past their due dates.
When Martin and “The Hat” find Roman, he decides to run. Following him, Martin ends up under Lake Michigan. This actually starts a family feud between Maman LaFleur and her daughter Teresa. There's so many side fractions, and control of the library suddenly comes under uncertainty, and no one knows who to answer to.
At one point we are following Martin and “The Hat” and “The Hat” is actually killed but keeps appearing to Martin with an octopus on his head as they try to contain this feud so that Maman can remain in control of the Library. I will say that along the way, Martin does see a lot of death, some by spells, some by means that he hasn't seen before, he even goes to Hell while he is still alive.
You get some gory details and imaginative. The pace gets picked up as you go along and just as you think you know who's who and what's what new twists get thrown at you and new characters get thrown in and a character gets killed off. This is not a mindless read. You actually have to pay attention, and eventually, you realize there are some big questions being asked about life.
Personally I liked that it wasn't chunky and lacked a lot of sxposition, you learned as you went and as things went a long and if you don't get it then honestly all I can say is tough. Sorry, I'm not sorry.
The Dark Easy tells us a story that gives us a story that's behind the scenes of all the important and powerful books, and many aspects of the occult were actually real and helpful in special libraries. This has been such an enjoyable book, to be honest.
This IS NOT fantasy as it is thought of in traditional senses, but this book does deal heavily in the occult and the supernatural. And you are reminded that you should never make a deal with the devil.
I really did enjoy this read, which surprised me as this is not what I normally read, and it's not even in my normal genres. I liked the pacing. The way it ended, you know that it's not the end of the story, and I can't wait to read the next part of The Dark Easy. It's actually a very interesting book.

Well now, this ebook had me sitting there wondering what in the world I had opened, because Martin and that fella they call The Hat come in hot chasing folks down over overdue books. That right there got my attention quick, because I sure never seen nothing like that before. They get sent up to Chicago, and things go crooked so fast it made my head spin. When that man they were after ended up under that big lake, I just sat there thinking, well this job went sideways real quick.
After that, folks start crawling out from every direction wanting that dangerous book like it was made out of gold or something. Martin gets stuck in the middle of all these folks who clearly isn't there to shake his hand. Every time I thought things might calm down, something else jumped out and proved me wrong. It just kept stacking up one mess after another, and Martin had to deal with it whether he wanted to or not.
The whole story has this rough, wild feel to it, part city trouble and part strange magic stuff, and it kept everything moving fast. Martin just kept pushing through it, dealing with folks who got too much attitude and too many tricks up their sleeve. It fit the story real well, because nothing in it was simple.
Then more folks show up, like that fast talking gangster, that hungry man and the daughter who acts like she already runs the whole place. Soon as they walked in, I just shook my head thinking, well here we go again, and sure enough everything got worse from there. It still kept me reading though, because something was always happening.
By the end, it felt like I had been dragged through a storm of magic, trouble, and overdue books that turned into a whole lot more than anybody planned. It stayed wild from start to finish, and it was worth the ride.
I give it 5 outta 5 catfish!

What can I say about this book? It's the noir thriller crossed with the occult, and a splash of humour that I was missing from my life! Set entangled with the backdrop of one of the homes of the Strange and Unusual, this book is both gritty and funny, it doesn't hold back with it's language, and there's no good and bad, just shades of grey when it comes to characters. It's quippy with plenty of references to pop culture, and you can easily forget it's set in a modern day setting.
It's gory, excellently described, and imaginative. It picks up the pace as you go along and throws new twists in when you just about think you know who's who. Pay attention, because there's a lot of characters that come and go. Definitely not one to read mindlessly, you need to be concentrating, because eventually, it begins to take on some big questions about life. Personally, I really enjoyed the lack of clunky exposition, you learned things as you went along, and if you didn't get it, then tough.
Not fantasy as such in a traditional sense, but it does deal heavily with the occult and the supernatural and reminds us to never make a deal with the devil.
Overall, a really enjoyable read, well paced, especially after part 1, and it wrapped up nicely after not being a long read, but we all know this can't be the end of things, and I, for one, can't wait to see what else The Dark Easy has in store.

Thank you to Voracious Readers and the author for allowing me to review this book by providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review of the entire experience.
We start off this book by talking about Roman and how it would be easier to get diamonds out of his ass with tweezers than get him to return books on time. Enter our MMC Martin. Martin works for an occult library, and he is responsible for retrieving overdue books by any means. These books contain real magic knowledge and they're only meant for a select few... they are explicitly not meant for the world at large.
When his latest retrieval goes sideways, resulting in a few deaths, the books unretrieved and a very mad boss lady Martin is thrust into a weird adventure that spans several cities and hell. He meets with all sorts of supernatural beings.. angels, an angel head, demons, some fae, and other casters, in order to try to retrieve these books and save the world. This is because, while on his journey, he figures out that there are multiple bad guys who need to be removed from existence.
The story was overall enjoyable and a breath of fresh air after a couple of harder previous reads. The characters were enjoyable.
I'm looking forward to reading any more books to come in this series.

There was an episode of the tv show Supernatural where they were in Chicago I believe and it was about two warring mob type families except they weren’t your average monsters. They were different types of monsters. That was a very confusing episode that I’m not sure what exactly it was about. I had the same feeling about this book. I really wanted to like it. It sounds so cool, the description bringing to life ideas of a cross between a Phillip Marlowe type with a Winchester with Noah Wylie as the Librarian. And while individually all of those elements are awesome together they just don’t quite mesh. I was confused about what the character was doing and saying what world he inhabited. Just plain old confused. I felt like the author needed to pick a lane or at least streamline the story. High hopes just didn’t work for me. Your mileage may vary. 2.5/5 stars.

The Librarians
Wow! what a great noir urban fantasy. I had no idea that this story would be so intense and full of supernatural twists and turns that nobody would ever see coming.
Michael Crame did an excellent gob in creating a fantasy story taken from a 1940s Dick Tracy detective noir book.
Michael's creative juices flow with the right amount of fantasy, Hollywood acting, and creativity to pull something off as this storyline.
The colorful characters in itself are enough to make this storyline sing for its supper. There was so much imagination and intensity throughout the book that was hard to put down and just wanted to continue reading into the night to see what happened next.
This book is not for the squeamish as there were some spots where you gasped and held your breath until the scene ended as if it were real.
All in all, it was a very intriguing and suspenseful adult thriller.

This book starts out sounding much like one of those old hard-boiled detective stories. Martin works for the Library, a repository for obscure occult volumes, in the "Fines and Overdue Books" department. Sent to Chicago on a mission to obstensively retrieve some overdue books, Martin is propelled on a sordid and fantastical journey that leads him to the actual Hell on a mission to retrieve Pandora's Box. This story is not so much scary as it is more of a dark and disturbing tale. There are some gruesome, disturbing scenes; among them a cannibal named Ismael, who can give Hannibal Lector a run for the money. I enjoyed reading the book, but I would caution the reader that the author paints some rather nightmarish scenarios, and there is a certain amount of cursing. If you like a book that has dark, disturbing matter, but is exactly what I call a horror story, you will probably enjoy this book. I received a complimentary copy of the book via Voracious Readers Only.

This novel is great for someone who likes a dark murder dry humor kind of story. Set in a semi realistic yet magical Chicago and New Orleans, Martin and his partner The Hat are tasked with finding a list of books and taking down the ones who allegedly stole them from The Library. With lots of characters it was a little hard to follow the lore being built on but the scenes are set up so vividly I can picture exactly where the action is taking place. Two quotes I really enjoyed: (edited for no spoilers)
“Within the darkness that is my life I know I daydream to escape and put myself in a state of mind to avoid thinking what I’m thinking….”
“A coin that’s not a coin…an octopus that’s not a hat. You people are a fucked up cosmic mistake,”
Overall I’m glad I read the book and read something new and fresh!

What a ride. Great concept I haven't read before. At the basic level, it is Mob enforcers from the '40s but in a setting of the supernatural. The author did a great job weaving the two pieces of genre together almost seamlessly. I never thought that it was simply a gangster story with angels and demons, magicians, and others force fit into the plot. The power struggle among a diverse and unique cast of characters for who will ultimately come out on top along with the nitty-gritty story of what the protagonists were doing kept me interested throughout. If you like the concept of the book I suspect strongly that you would really enjoy this.
I highly recommend this book and give it 4.5 stars (rounded up to five)

The Dark Easy is a great read, a hard-boiled occult urban fantasy with plentiful action, vivid characters, and snappy dialogue. You wouldn’t think a book about a library would be so enthralling, but it is! This novel is reminiscent of Jim Butcher at his best. There is humor in The Dark Easy, however twisted! The ending leaves one anticipating the twists and turns of the next book in the series. The reader hungers for further adventures and development of the memorable characters. If Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, or Ross McDonald had written urban fantasy, this is what it would be like. The Dark Easy matches the Masters.

Thank you, Michael Crame
I really love Old School Noir Atmospheric movies and books. This story blends Gangster and Supernatural.
Libraries usually charge a late fee for over due books. The story is an adventure about how a special library collects their late fees. Word to the wise: it's best not to owe this library money, return the book on time.
I love the descriptive characters, especially the banter between the main character's. The atmosphere is gritty and dark like in the 1950s mob movies.
Promises were made that were broken. The ones that hurt the worst were the promises made to themselves.
Hard boiled
Crime / Horror/ Comedy

I hadn’t read this author when I came across the book, but the blurb definitely sounded interesting, so I eagerly requested it. This book is not exactly what I was expecting, but not in a bad way. Martin is an interesting character, and I would have said there were a couple more of them, but they ended up…well, I can’t say. LOL! This hunt for some overdue books is engaging, entertaining, and well-written. While there were a couple of parts I was like, “huh? How did Martin figure that out?”, but that didn’t really impact my enjoyment of this book. This does have a tiny touch of horror, but it’s mostly a well-written dark noir urban fantasy. I will be looking forward to the next. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Wow!
I had no idea what to expect from this story and it was like a fever dream -- and I mean that in the best way. I was a tad confused in the beginning but as the book unfolds, I understood that this confusion helped me relate to the main character and the overall story.
There are moments of startling violence so the squeamish might not enjoy this but I found that I could not look away, even if I was disturbed by what happened. The writing is so well done -- some paragraphs were just a joy to read.
Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.

Urban fantasy set in ‘The Big Easy’ New Orleans and Hell. A gangster, magic, occultist, Angels and Demons, scheming extravaganza. Lots of wise cracks, and deaths and maybe almost deaths. Martin and Hat work for The Library finding and returning books that shouldn’t be loose in the real world. But things go awry very quickly. Good thing Martin has the instincts and contacts to get the job done and come out the other side to fight another day. Reminded me a little of Simon R. Green’s Nightside series. Thank you to Michael Crame and BookSirens for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

I loved the premise of this one and it had just the right amount of grit for an urban fantasy to shine. While the author has definitely put a lot of time and effort into the world building and connections/feuds between different characters and factions - I felt this tended to slow the story down. I got a bit lost in the 'who's who' when I was itching for a little more story and more of a connection with our main man Martin. I'd read more from this author & know that this series will find its followers. I received an advance reader copy for free, and leaving this review of my own free bookish will.

This was quite different. It caught and held my attention from the start. Many bizarre, strange, and intriguing goings on. Some humor, dark humor, but I couldn't put it down. The names of some of the characters are humorous and entertaining. The supernatural elements were very interesting and I can't wait to continue the journey in the next book. This just made me feel good reading it. I'm weird that way. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book provided by book sirens and am giving an honest opinion.

I'm a fan of film noir so when the opportunity to read a dark detective series came along, I jumped at it. I liked the occult storyline and the well drawn, eclectic cast of characters. I could easily visualize the events taking place in this imaginary world as I read. The fact a library plays a major role in this tale is a plus. If you like dark, urban fantasy, I recommend this one.

I really enjoyed this read! This book is truly unique containing fresh concepts and ideas. The character interactions in this book was quite good. I do enjoy a good family feud! I loved the New Orleans setting and the overall vibe of this Noir Dark Fantasy.
