Between Lies and Revenge by Hannah D. Sharpe
A dazzling blend of suspense, sisterhood, and scandal, Between Lies and Revenge is a sharp, stylish thriller that hooks you from the first page and refuses to let go. With morally grey heroines, layered backstories, and a twisty plot built on secrets, deception, and survival, Hannah D. Sharpe delivers a fast-paced, addictive debut.
Elle is a gem—pun fully intended. A flawed but fierce ex-con with a tragic past and a sharp eye for precious stones, she’s equal parts vulnerable and formidable. Her quest for justice—or is it revenge?—kicks off a plot that’s as emotionally charged as it is cleverly plotted. When she crosses paths with Olivia, a woman crumbling under the pressure of keeping up appearances, a surprising alliance forms—and that’s where the fun (and the danger) truly begins.
Sharpe has a talent for writing women who are complex, messy, and deeply human. The relationship between Elle and Olivia is one of the novel’s greatest strengths—what begins as a con evolves into a bond that feels as fragile and faceted as the gems they work with. Their joint hustle is wildly entertaining, but beneath the heists and high-stakes glamour lies a deeper story about grief, desperation, and the price of truth.
The pacing is electric, the stakes are high, and the payoff is satisfying. Think Ocean’s 8 meets Big Little Lies, with a dash of revenge and just enough heart to ground it all.
Between Lies and Revenge is bold, brazen, and utterly binge-worthy—perfect for readers who love thrillers with female-driven grit and glamour.
