"I have never read a book by Alissa Johnson before, and after I read A "Talent for Trickery" I had that "Nomnomnommoremoremore" feeling which is a problem because Alissa has written a ton of other books and I don't know when I'll find time to read them all. But I do know that I want to read them NOW. Because A "Talent for Trickery" was so good, you guys. Really superlative. I ate it up. I stayed up late to finished it. It was nommy historical romance goodness. Grade: A." - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
