Loved the book! The story of the two Mrs Parish’s finally came full circle!
Suspenseful
Great read
Well written

A fast paced book with twists, turns, emotional baggage and a mothers undying love woven into each page. The middle of the book was a bit slow but the last 100 pages gave way to a nice ending for all the characters.

The Next Mrs. Parrish picks up a couple of years after the last novel, The Last Mrs. Parrish. Daphne and Amber have kept their distance in the wake of Jackson serving time for tax evasion with Daphne raising her girls in California with her mom and trying to keep their relationship afloat since they do not understand why they can’t see or be with their father. They are soon brought back into each other’s lives and drama ensues. I loved the first novel, and this one was even better. Amber is just as horrible and duplicitous as before, if not more! What scandals await these ladies in Bishops Harbor and are there anymore secrets from Amber’s past that could possibly come out of the shadows? The shocking twists unfolds and I found myself binging as fast as humanly possible to find out what happens next. I gasped at the betrayals and secrets that came out. I hope this isn’t the last of hearing from all of these characters! This was a 5*read. Thank you, Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for the E-Arc and the chance, to review it!

Once again, a story that hooked me from the start! I absolutely love their writing style - especially how we don't get bogged down with the minutiae of each character's everyday life. A satisfying ending was the cherry on top.

Much to Daphne’s dismay, Jackson and Amber are far from being out of her, and her daughters’, lives forever.

After Tallulah starts acting out, Daphne realizes that she had to go back to Bishops Harbor and see the one person she hoped never to see again.

Amber, on the other hand, is doing everything in her power to get out of her relationship with Jackson, while also trying to take down an enemy from her past.

If you want to know how our favorite (and least favorite) characters end up, this is a must read for you!

There are plenty of plot twists and jaw-dropping moments to keep you hooked throughout. Definitely worth reading, just like the rest of the Constantine sisters’ books.

A great continuation from Mrs. Parrish. Love catching up with Daphne and Amber. The twist and turns are there from beginning to end. A satisfying ending and I sure would not mind reading another book with Daphne and Amber. Well done!

All the rave for this five star domestic thriller by Liv Constantine. I devoured the first novel, " The Last Mrs. Parrish" and loved prequel "The First Shot". To get an ARC of the sequel was not only a moment of jumping for excitement, but getting to revisit characters and all their schemes was the perfect excuse to pull an all night binge read-a-thon.

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" does not disappoint and will take you on a fast pace ride of messy drama, schemes, and twists. Be prepared to not want to put the book down while wanting to hurl it across the room because Amber is still vile. The ending is wild so buckle up!

Perfect for book clubs and though you can quickly pick up from the previous books, I would recommend giving a re-read to fully appreciate the drama and new twists.

I was jumping around like a kid on Christmas when I saw that I was approved for this. I LOVED The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv and this one was no different. I do recommend reading the prior books before reading a next in line so that you are caught up or refreshed. This book will be easier to understand if you read book 1. I love how Liv flawlessly writes her books and never lacks with the suspense, mystery along with twists and turns. You will not be able to set this book down. One for the year 2024!!!

Thank you so much to Random House, NetGalley and the author for allowing me the opportunity to read this eARC.

For fans of “The Last Mrs. Parrish”, you probably thought you’d never get immersed in the lives of Daphne, Amber and Jackson. But alas, the time has come to continue the disturbing story of a woman trying to escape an abusive marriage, a disturbed, narcissistic, sociopathic woman moving in on that marriage in hopes of becoming a wealthy socialite and a man who is equally as terrible and controlling.
•••
The Next Mrs. Parrish introduces a new character, Daisy Ann, who is somehow intertwined in the lies told by Amber and determined to bring her to down.

Although this really wasn’t the book for me, I think those who enjoyed the first book will also enjoy this one.
Thank you @netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this long awaited sequel!

4/5 Star Thriller

I was kind of shocked to see their was a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, because it felt like we got a very final ending to that book. But I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I can’t add much to the actual plot without giving big spoilers. But we get the next chapter of Amber and Daphne’s lives and it was so good! For me, the big reason the first book was so good was the massive twist midway through where the POV switched to Daphne. While this didn't have quite as big of a shock factor, I still thought it was a fast-paced and overall really great thriller. While I do think the first book was better, I still really loved this one and thought it was a great addition to the story. If you enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish this is definitely worth reading.

Thank you to Netgallery for the ARC of the sequel for one or my most favorite books and authors. I was so excited to read this and couldn’t believe I actually got accepted to read The Next Mrs. Parrish. Unfortunately this missed the mark for me. It didn’t feel like the first book almost as if it was written by someone other than the lovely authors. I immediately didn’t like that Daphne felt like she had to keep Jackson’s discretions from her daughter so much so that she would get back in touch with the man who terrorized her. So much about this didn’t work for me and felt juvenile. Amber and the diamonds it all just didn’t work for me. The story felt jumbled and a bit cheesy. I honestly could have done without the sequel as it just wasn’t as well done for me as the original. This should in no way disuade you from reading other Liv Constantine books as I have thoroughly enjoyed the others.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was so excited to see that Amber and Daphne would be thrusted back into each other’s lives in The Next Mrs. Parrish.

This sequel was thrilling, fast paced and just fabulous! It was such a great continuation of their story. I could not put it down! I highly recommend it when it comes out in June!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced e-copy!!

Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into one another's lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line, in this thrilling sequel to the million-copy-bestselling Reese's Book Club Pick .

This book was a good quick read. The narcissistic character is well written. I enjoyed reading and loved the ending! Without giving too much away!

A story of good guys and bad guys - actually good women and a bad man and an evil woman. Love, revenge, and double-crossings make for a fine fast ready.

Jackson and Amber are the epitome of sociopathic behavior without any qualms of the results of their actions nor emotional attachment to others. They only care about one person and that is themselves. It is simply unfathomable how Amber was able to walk away from children, set others up for imprisonment and what occurred between her and Daisy Ann's father. Her ruthlessness had no bounds. Jackson in his treatment of Daphne truly believed that in his emotionally depraved state that he was doing what wad best for her and their family. It was evident that he thought he was a great father. I was so glad to see how Daisy Ann and Daphne bonded in a motherly capacity. The red tinted glasses at the end when Amber opened the door was a great last farewell. A captivating book and I certainly would read it again.

Loved the first one & loved this as well! Well done, & just as good as the first book. Definitely recommend reading the first book before this one

I was super excited to read this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, which I read a couple years ago and LOVED! Unfortunately, The Next Mrs. Parrish didn't quite have the same impact on me. There was a lot of showing vs. telling, especially in the first half of the book. It felt like the authors were trying to summarize the entire plot of the first book instead of assuming readers of this book would be familiar with it, which slowed the pacing way down. Then it was just one unrealistic scenario after another, starting with Daphne choosing to return to where Jackson lived. It was hard to feel sympathy or care about the characters in the same way as I did in the first book because they kept making ridiculous choices. I couldn't get into this book, which I was super bummed about! The ending sort of leaves the door open for a book 3 but I think it's time to put the Parrish family to bed and move on.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bantam for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

If you’ve read The Last Mrs. Parrish then you know how crazy, manipulative, and delulu (is what all the kids are calling it these days) Amber and Jackson are. They are truly disgusting characters that I love to hate. Well, Liv Constantine did not disappoint or slow these characters down in The Next Mrs. Parrish. The sequel is fast paced and just as intense. I love how good hearted Daisy Ann and Meredith are as supporting characters. I enjoyed the plot but will say this is definitely a character driven book. I also loved how the author gave closure and closed the story with a pretty little bow.

I couldn’t put this book down. Told from the perspectives of Daphne, Amber & Daisy Ann you get a fantastic mix of good versus evil. The plot moves along quickly, and the twists don’t stop coming. I have to say personally I didn’t see a bunch of the twists coming, but they were so enjoyable.. I also absolutely loved the ending. Amber & Jackson remain to be absolutely terrible human beings and the hate for them builds and builds with this story.
My recommendation for anyone wanting to read this sequel is to definitely read the prequel to the first book, the quick novella, “The First Shot”. It’s where Daisy Ann and her story line become introduced and help it to make sense!

Thank you Net Galley for an ARC of this book.

What an interesting return to the characters we know and love (and loathe) from TLMP. The addition of the third storyline in this sequel is a bright spot and often serves as a welcome reprieve from the antics and anguish of the original players. Glad to have stepped back into their world and wrapped all the drama into a satisfying bow.
