Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 304- The Lady Travelers Guide to Deception with an Unlikely Earl by Victoria Alexander, Street Freaks by Terry Brooks

The Lady Travelers Guide to Deception with an Unlikely Earl by Victoria Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sidney Honeywell did not set out to deceive. She was just telling about adventures her grandmother had in Egypt and at the same time making money for herself. Who knew people would think she was the one having the adventures. Of course some one is threatening to expose her as a fraud and that just cannot happen. Enter the trip to prove she is o is not a fraud and the man she must deceive. A fun romp with many, many laugh out loud moments as Sidney rises to the occasion and finds much more than she expected. Great addition to the Lady Travelers Society series.

 Street Freaks by Terry Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has a bit of everything. Told from the viewpoint of Ash Collins the story starts with Ash on the run and not knowing why. Along the way he meets a very different group of young people. They are the throwaways of life and they take him in. I loved the interweaving of danger and tension along with the normal problems of youth. Each character had qualities that were easy to identify with. This was a roller coaster of action and mystery as Ash tried to find out why people were trying to find him and discover the secrets they were sure his father had shared. A nice ending with Ash off on a quest. Is that a set up for the start of a new series?
