Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen – Book Review & Lovely Lavender Latte Recipe
Set in 1950's San Francisco, with all the period-typical homophobia of the time, Lavender House is a historical detective novel following disgraced detective Evander Mills, Andy, as he investigates the possible murder of Lamontaine soap empire matriarch Irene Lamontaine at the request of her grieving widow, Pearl. Instead of a coffee recommendation with this one, I'm sharing a coffee recipe. A very simple, easy recipe for a lovely lavender latte with a delicate floral herby flavor that pairs perfectly with the book.

[Book Review] In Every Generation by Kendare Blake & Jim’s Organic Coffee Witches Brew
"In every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer."Â When I first heard about In Every Generation, the first book in the new Buffy: The Next Generation series, I was a little wary. I love Buffy so much that I wasn't sure there was room in my heart for a new slayer, luckily Kendare Blake proved me wrong.
