| The Harlequin, throughout | Numerous timeline inconsistencies in reference to past events - notable ones, events in OB occurred more than 18 months ago...(??) the pregnancy issue was 'months ago' yet DM was just at most a few weeks past.... |
| The Harlequin, ch. 26 (pg ?? paperback); (pg. 270 e-version); (pg. 234 hardback) | Willie's girlfriend's name is suddenly Candy, where before this, his angel-fang's name was Hannah. ( to be corrected in the paperback version to read Hannah) |
| The Harlequin, ch. ?? (pg. ?? paperback)(pg. ?? e-version)(pg. ?? hardback) | While Anita is in the hospital Dolph enters her room to question her about her attack; but he begins to ask her many personal questions one of which was whather she was Jean-Claude's human servant. However, when Anita was in the hospital during the last chapter of Micah a doctor in another state and timezone says that he knew Anita was Jean-Claude's human servant from watching the news. It seems rather unlikely that a dedicated detective like Dolph would miss information that is common knowledge to just about everyone in the country. submitted by Fallinangel |
| The Harlequin, ch. 26 (pg. ?? paperback); (pg. 274 e-version); (pg. 238 hardback) | Sylvie Barker, suddenly states that she doesn't 'do' women, when in previous books it has been specifically stated that she is gay and has a female partner.

| The Harlequin, ch. 32, (pg. ?? paperback); (pg. 317e-version); (pg. 278 hardback) | Soledad states when she is trying to kill Anita that Anita is Jean-Claude's 'vampire servant'. What? Since when??

I noticed (and correct me if I'm wrong, but...)
in Narcissus in Chains, Claudia has black hair. I mean it honestly says she has black hair. But then in Cerulean Sins, when they block those people in with the cars, it says that she let down her BLONDE hair, making her look more like a girl. So which is it? Or am I going insane? =\ Let's hope it's not the latter.... |

In The Harlequin right after talking to Giovanni about taking over Malcolm's church, Nathaniel is helping her calm down and they talk about how she [i]can't[/i] deputize people, while in at least one other book(i believe Cerulean Sins which is the first book Federal Status is implied) She DOES in fact deputize Bobby Lee and Claudia (more so but i can't remember names) when there were enemies outside Circus that were following Anita.
