Blood-dripped cherry was my first impression, although now that I think about it, it could also be chocolate. There had better be a fondue reference in the book, or I will be pissed.
I'm not getting this book until (unless?) it's out in paperback. Which it had BETTER BE eventually, because there is no way I'm spending $25 on a 272-page book when the paperback will be a) cheaper (duh) and b) slightly longer and possibly containing previews for future books.
Actually, what would be ideal is if she put out short story collections, say, once a year, and her "novel-lites" the next year, so they'd alternate and give a nice little fix between novels. Both would, of course, be slim PAPERbacks (not hardcovers...grr, you have NO IDEA how much this book's hardcover status pisses me off) and be $6.99 or less.

Yeah, this fantasy world I live in is real fun.
