I liked Still Life, too, so I hope you get lots of recommendations of similar books for that one!

I've not read anything by Sepetys but her books given me an Elizabeth Wein vibe. Have you read Code Name Verity?

Love this idea! I couldn't think of any recomendations though. Maybe Jennifer Nielson for historical fictions.

That is a great idea but except for one author (Kate Morton), I have not read any of your authors. But I guess you would like any of the authors on my list, I'd start with These is My Words.

Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.

I'm a Ruta Sepetys fan, too. I understand she has, or will have, a new book soon.

Ohhh, I saw this when someone else did it and completely forgot about it. I love this idea!! Something similar to the Truly Devious series is the Jane Austen Murder Mystery series by Price. It's YA and so fun!

A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin might be something you'd enjoy. It's a YA Historical Fiction, with possibly a touch of fantastical elements (but that's not the focus as far as I can remember). I've been meaning to re-start that series, but so far I've only read book one.

Also maybe A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray? Both of those books seem very similar to me as far as YA Historical Fiction with minimal fantasy. But it's been a while, so my memory might be faulty. I do remember enjoying them both a lot, though.

I don't know if it is a direct comparison, but I think if you like Morton maybe try Karen White (if you haven't already). She does multigenerational family saga stuff. It's set in the South and usually has great atmosphere.
As for Johnson, I haven't read her yet but my daughter has. She loved that series and also loves Jennifer Barnes, Karen M McManus, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder... I'm trying to think who else she read that was similar but am blanking.

Based on what you wrote above, I would recommend C. C. Warrens The Holly Series (they are FABULOUS). I would also recommend Jaime Jo Wright, specifically Echoes Among the Stones, The Curse of Misty Wayfair, and The House on Foster Hill. And, finally, The Gwen Marcy series by Carrie Stuart Parks.

Hmm okay: I've not read anything by Kate Morton, but perhaps you might like Madeline Martin's historical fiction (The Last Bookshop In London and The Librarian Spy), she's so good at writing really vivid settings, the characters and plot are compelling and the romance is clean. I agree with the person above who recommended Elizabeth Wein, her books are great. Maybe A Good Girl's Guide To Murder for a mystery you might like, I certainly found that one page turning!

I like the way you did this post, where you added what you liked about the author and what they write! Thanks!

This is a fun way to get way more comparisons! I've enjoyed Sager's mix of creepy and mysterious without ever going overboard. I think you'd probably enjoy Simone St. James as something similar.

Your blog is so pretty. I enjoy visiting it!

I am a huge fan of Bones and have always wanted to read one of Reichs's books. I appreciate how you explain what you like about her books. I think I may get one and read it soon.

I don't think I know enough about these genres to recommend anything. Just goes to show I need to broaden my horizons, so thanks for sharing these! :-)

This is a brilliant idea for a post! Here goes nothing:
I love Kathy Reichs, and her writing reminds me a lot of Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series.
If you liked Ruta Sepetys, who I haven't read, but judging by the description, you'd probably like The Silent Unseen by Amanda McCrina.
If you like Riley Sager, you might like Tiffany D. Jackson's YA horror (The Weight of Blood or White Smoke).

Good list. Have you ever read Faye Kellerman's mysteries? Officially the main character is her husband, a police detective, but she always features in the books and helps solve key parts of the crimes.

Love this idea!! And I have not read any of the books on your list.. As for recommendations, I recall specific books by authors, specifically for historicals/dual timelines, and here are some of them - Janet Skeslien Charles' The Paris Library, Sharon Cameron's Bluebird, Lisa Wingate's The Book of Lost Friends, Kristin Harmel's The Book of Lost Names, Fiona Davis' The Lions of Fifth Avenue

Ruta Spetys and Stacey Lee are two of my favorites authors, I love that they write stories from an different point of view

I love Kate Morton and there are so many authors on this list that I've really been wanting to read. Especially Kelley Armstrong!
