Children of Noah (Neil S. Plakcy)

Children of Noah (Mahu Series Book 9) - Neil Plakcy

The mystery was good though it made me feel uneasy since it was related to religious (albeit very distorted) belief about racial purity. Never been a fan of crime stories based on someone's faith. But as far as Kimo and Ray's first assignment with the FBI's FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, I thought they went with a bang. I enjoyed their investigation and research process. I liked that Kimo was able to put himself in the 'new' shoes of being FBI Agent and that he stuck to rules without antagonizing HPD detectives who work on the same case. Oh, and I also liked reading an update about their foster son, Dakota, and the fact that he seemed to have found a nice boy as well.

Having said that, there was a HUGE continuity problem that somehow influenced my reading enjoyment. It was related to Kimo's children status. In the beginning, Kimo and Mike were said to already become fathers to baby twins, Addie and Owen (previously known as Alpha and Omega), as a result of them being donors for their lesbian friends couple, Cathy and Sandra (with Sandra as the one carrying the baby). Heck, Kimo and Mike even babysat the twins!

But then as the story progresses, I felt like watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons because somehow, Sandra was back to her pregnant status, the babies were back inside her womb, Kimo was said to be "soon-to-be-father", and he was wishing for his own father to be able to see and teach the unborn twins as he did with Kimo's nephews and nieces...



Uhm, what?! We already met the babies!!

I am not a reader who is very fussy about details -- that is why I can't be a good proofreader -- but this one was GLARING at me, I couldn't help being very annoyed by it. While it didn't directly related to the case but still it was sloppy editing error. An editor should've caught that before this was being released.

Reducing my rating stars because of it.
