View Full Version : Bloopers
"Nicely" list any bloopers such as Night Pleasures where the copy editor put in the Kyrian has an older sister when he was the eldest of his family or the scene in Night Play where Sherri typed Fang in the backseat only it was Fury there instead.

I never thought to look for stuff like this in the books .. Ill have to read more carefully from now on
I have never caught more than one or two ever- like that Fang/Fury one and the older sister. I will have to look more closely

I found a few whoopsies in the Companion =
=page 89 states for Kattagari and humans to mate AND produce offspring would never happen.... Arcadian Carson is listed as having a human dad and Katagaria mom in the Were-Hunter section of the Companion.
=page 93 says only the Katagaria are able to will away their powers to another were or human... Wren's grandmother who was Arcadian Tiger and dying of cancer, gave her Katagaria son, Aristotle her powers, which he in turn gave to Maggie.
... I really need to start reading the books with a note pad and pencil to take notes if I'm going to get "tested" like this ;)

i've noticed a sentence in "Seize The Night" were Tabitha is talking and instead of saying "you" there's just a 'u'
and also in Talon's book, Kalosis is spelt Kolasis....

I read in a book(cant remember which at the moment)that said that Ash went back to his home in Kalosis.It was meant to be Katoteras of course...seeing as if Ash went to Kalosis the world as we know it would end.

In "Night Pleasures", Kyrian cannot make love & complete it without draining his powers & strength-takes hours to recover both.
In "Night embrace" & "Dance with the Devil", both Talon & Zarek are able to complete "the act" & it has no effect on them. All are Dark Hunters. Does anyone have an answer to this?

01-19-2009, 05:17 PM
Each Dark-Hunter has something different that drains their powers. With Talon his powers weakened when his emotions got involved. For Kyrian "the act" as you put it drained his. Hope that answered your question.

I found an oopsie or two in the Companion...
pg 263 Tory Kafieri- It says in the second line that she was five when she lost both of her parents. In Acheron it says that she was 7 when her mom died and 10 when her dad died and I think it says the same thing in Dream Hunter.
Then... this may not be a mistake but on page 267 it lists Ningal (Sin's wife) in the human directory. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say in Sin's book that she was a goddess after an exotic husband and that's why she married Sin in the first place and then started being unfaithful because Sin was only a half-blood?
I'll let you know if I find anymore.

This is between books:
In Dream-Hunter, pg 307, Seph says that she has to stay with her mom 9 months out of the year.
Meanwhile, in Acheron, pg 369, Hades thinks bad thoughts on Demeter for separating them for half the year, implying 6 months.
Personally, I like 6 months better, 9 months apart is too many. But still, a discrepancy.

I don´t know if this count as a blooper, but in Night Pleasure when Rosa is attacking Kyrian, one of the translations is wrong.
He says "Rosa, no haga esto. Don't do this. Let me up. Déjeme para arriba, por favor."
It should say "Rosa, no haga esto. Don´t do this. Let me up. Déjeme levantarme, por favor."

That actually isn't a blooper. BC dates go toward 0 so they go opposite of what we're used to.

It came from a native Spanish speaker who is from Argentina. I would say it's right, but colloquial.

Sherri caught this one in the galley stages, but for some reason they didn't take it out in the final version. It's been a source of irritation to her ever since. You weren't wrong. It happened when Sherri merged two scenes together.

I think I found a cross-book blooper, but I could be way wrong. In Dark Side of the Moon, there was a Dark-Hunter who I think was murdered, and I'm almost sure his name was Aloysius. I remembered his name because (no joke) that was what I wanted to name my son, until every single person I knew told me it was stupid. Well, yesterday my SO was looking at my bookshelves and asked about the DH Companion, so last night I was reading it again, and they spelled the name different (I can't find my DSotM book, and forgot to bring the other over). This might not be a blooper because 1) I could be remembering the name from DSotM wrong, or 2) the DH Companion could be talking about a different DH and I'm making crazy connections... but I thought I'd throw it out there in case it is.

I know the answer to this one. Sherri's extremely superstitious and changed the name because of her friend Dianna. She didn't want anything to happen to her. I know it's weird. but things Sherri has put in her books in the past came to happen after the books were published. Ask her about it because it's been eerie how many times she put an arbitrary name and then someone she knew with that name did what the character did after the book came out.

In Unleash the Night there are several incorrect homonyms. Remi tells Wren that he "wreaks of human" instead of "reeks" and in the beginning of the book Maggie's house is described as a renovated condo, then becomes a cottage later in the book.

What? //halo
Bloopers... yes. Not sure if this is a blooper, or a Were difference thing.
In Night Play, after the mark appears on the palms, Vane and Bride continue to be intimate. //kk
In Dark Side of the Moon, after the mark appears, Ravyn tells Susan that any... um...'contact' (the polite term).... even unintentional, will mate them for good.
So, Vane and Bride could be intimate, while Ravyn and Susan couldn't.

Here's one I think. Cassandra is surprised by her father when he shows up to give her away for her wedding. He tells her that Wulf came to talk to him the night before the wedding and then brought him to Elysia. He's human. He shouldn't even remember Wulf five minutes after he's spoken to him. It would have worked if it was Phoebe who did it, but I guess the scene was more to show Wulf's sweet considerate side.

This one's from Night Play. When Bride, Vane and Fury were driving back from Thanksgiving at Bride's parents (with new doggie Cujo) it says that "Fang sat up and squeezed Bride's hand then he and the dog vanished". I think it should have read "Fury" because Fang was comatose and at Sanctuary at the time.

I have an audiobook blooper. I may have to go back and listen to dark side of the moon to see if it's there also. But on Devil May Cry and Acheron the reader pronounces Ash's name two different ways.
In Devil May Cry he pronounces it like ARKHERON
but in Acheron its got the sound of asheron
My sounds like spelling my be off but there if definitely different name pronounciations there

I found one when reading Night Embrace, Wren is described as having light, almost colorless eyes, and in Unleash the Night, his eyes are turquoise.
Also, in Acheron, when the Dark Hunters are meeting Ash in Sanctuary to get Tory back from Kalosis, Wren is described as coming in to help saying it was a payback for "all Acheron did for Maggie and me." However, I believe in Unleash The Night, Acheron made absolutely no appearance. I wonder what he did for Wren and Maggie.

I think I recall that one in Ash, Wren seeming to show up randomly. I'll have to double check.
I recall another one. I don't have the page off the top of my head, but I believe, in Dark Side of the Moon, at one point, Wulf's name is spelled "Wolf."
I finally think the one on the site that's bugged me for years got tweaked, too *laughs* There was a description of Apollo that listed him as the god of the "son."

Ash didn't do anything personally for Wren and Maggie. In the scene you're referring to Wren says "And I haven't forgotten what the DARK HUNTERS did for me and Maggie." He didn't say Ash in particular but since Ash is a DH..........Wren helped out.
Wren was referring to Jean Luc allowing the wolves to take Wren there to recover.
And.......on the new site, Xedrix's profile has two bloopers.
1. It says he is the older brother of Simi and Xirena. In SotN Xirena introduces herself as the eldest of the hatchlings.
2. It refers to the club from DC as "Club Charonte" but in DC it is called "Club Vampyre".

Mama was willing to let bygones be bygones because Wren was acquitted but Wren basically told her to shove it.
I think technically he is welcomed at Sanctuary but it wouldn't be with wide open arms.
For that matter none of the wolves are welcomed at Sanctuary......kind of the same way. They're not banned but.......it had better be their last resort if they go there.

Don't know if anyone's pointed this one out yet but in Dream Chaser Simone "meets" Jaden twice.
She confronts him in her condo shortly after her demon powers are unlocked.
Then after she kills Kaiaphas she turns to Jaden (who had handed her her father's sword) and said "Who are you"?
She should have recognized Jaden from their conversation in her condo, right?

I have to say while reading Night Play I thought I was going crazy. You know, being up too late while reading and words become just words? I thought I missed something when on the way home from Bride's parent's house when suddenly Fang ended up in the back seat of the car instead of Fury. Glad it wasn't just me. LOL

This is true but they're usually referred to as an older twin. Cody is Kyle's older twin.
