And not only that, you fantasized a good book! Bloody Bones is one of the better books in the series! What's left now, Narcissus In Chains? Like hell!
I agree, a Rolodex or like filing system would really help...I constantly have little cards lying about to help keep my character information straight, and I STILL have problems. And I'm not the author of two series! I mean, Post-It notes are all well and good, but it's too easy for them to get lost or mixed up. Notebooks are a more permanent and organized system.
But again, if the author doesn't care enough about her books to completely ignore an ENTIRE BOOK IN THE SERIES and claim that all of the information in it is wrong and it essentially doesn't exist.... *sigh*
And it's a linear series too, so literally months out of Anita's life are now a gaping black hole. Should we discount all of the progress and non-fae events that occured during the course of that series? Hell, she introduced Jean-Claude's sire in Bloody Bones--Serephina, who was gaining power because she fed off of faeries. This was also the book that saw Larry traumatized by rotting vampires, an event that was frequently mentioned in later books. I can't remember which book, but there's also a later mention of "one time I ran afoul of a faerie" later on.
So, yeah. You don't claim that an entire book in a linear series doesn't exist, just to neatly fit into your new series. If you find it confusing to tell apart all of the contradictory fae stuff...tough tuna.
