I am so glad the story was continued. Sadly Daphne still falls for Jackson's sneaky antics. None as bad as in the first book but still frustrating. Good resolution for the characters. Some good twists/reveals at the end.

Not a con for me but it’s an over the top storyline and I loved every second of it

THE LAST MRS. PARRISH was one of the first books I read & loved when I was getting back into reading 🩵

I decided to read the prequel (THE FIRST SHOT) right before reading THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH, and I’m glad I did because it gives Amber’s origin story & it helped refresh my memory! Plus, the crime Amber commits in the prequel plays a role in one of the revenge plots in this book 👀

I loved the multiple POVs from the three women (Amber, Daphne, Daisy Ann) and seeing how their paths crossed. Amber is still very unlikeable (shocker 😂) and I liked that I was familiar with Daisy Ann because she was introduced in the prequel.

Liv Constantine wrote another suspenseful domestic thriller filled with revenge and twists 👏

I flew through this one and would highly recommend reading it if you loved THE LAST MRS. PARRISH! But even if you didn’t read book one, the authors provide enough context for you to be able to read and enjoy this one as a standalone!

Fun to go back to these complex characters! Quick beach read -easy to pick up where they left off-looking forward to book 3!

I really liked this! “The Last Mrs. Parrish” was a little too graphic and intense for me. This sequel does have similar elements (gaslighting, backstabbing, etc.) but there were no vivid descriptions of abuse or other distressing things.

Both books are twisty and fast-paced. Everyone is out to get everyone in this book and I love that cat-and-mouse vibe. And the ending was completely unexpected.

Highly recommend “The Next Mrs. Parrish” for a thriller you can read in one sitting!

Thank you to the authors, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book just was not for me. I hated the characters and it was a slog to get through. So many aspects seemed awkward and forced.

This books had so many evil people. I wanna read the first one and know more of the backstory. There’s conniving people in the world that only care about themselves. Some women will do anything to be rich and on top and don’t care who they hurt. I liked seeing all the female characters in the book and how different they were.

Once again, my favorite writing duo did not disappoint with this follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. Was this book really necessary? Probably not. But was it twisty and entertaining? Most definitely! After what felt like forever, Liv is back with another thrilling book! The wait was totally worth it. In this gripping sequel, we meet Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann—three fascinating characters you won't forget. Amber is cunning and super confident, Daphne is trying to move on from her past, and Daisy Ann is on a mission to get justice for her late father. Their stories intertwine in the most unexpected and brilliant ways.

I really enjoyed the first one so I was excited about this one. I couldn’t wait to see what crazy schemes Amber was up to this time around. The beginning was good, but somewhere along the middle I found it to be moving slow. The ending was worth it!

I'll be honest that I was nervous about reentering the world of the Parrishes. The pitch-perfect ending of the first book had be concerned that the second book would fall short. I am happy to share that my worry was for naught. The time Constantine took between the two novels was well-spent, and this sequel kept me guessing and ultimately satisfied.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

While I enjoyed the first book, I found myself too annoyed by the ridiculousness of Amber and Jackson and everything they get away with, that I just couldn’t get into it. Ending was good though. If you liked the first book I’d recommend reading this one to see what happens to the characters.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

The Last Mrs. Parrish was a high bar for the dynamic duo known as Liv Constantine to meet but their follow-up novel, The Next Mrs. Parrish, met the challenge. Trying to put Jackson and Connecticut in the past, Daphne has moved her daughters and mother to California to rebuild their lives. Amber, staying in the Parrish family home while Jackson finishes is prison sentence, is more determined than ever to keep her place in society and lifestyle regardless of the circumstances. Nearly running through what's left of Jackson's money, she discovers a much more lucrative source of income; much to Jackson's disbelief. In order to keep his grips on his money and Amber's discovery, Jackson and Amber take part in a cat-and-mouse scheme with dangerous consequences. Desperate to reunite with his daughters and Daphne, Amber is willing to help Jackson bring them back to Connecticut on one condition: Jackson helps Amber bring down an old enemy. Just what does Texan Daisy Ann have to do with Amber's past? Why is Amber so desperate to ruin her? What will happen if Amber's secrets are exposed? And what about Jackson's plans for Daphne? Has he really changed? All these questions and more are answered in this satisfying sequel.

I had high hopes for the Next Mrs. Parrish and was happy to discover another knock-out by Liv Constantine. I was admittedly a little frustrated with Daphne early on but it's all worth it for the satisfying payoff in the ending. This novel can be read as a stand-alone if you have not read the Last Mrs. Parrish but it is also a strong sequel. It was so fun to revisit Daphne, horrible Amber and dastardly Jackson. There seems to be enough for even a third book if Liv Constantine desires to make it a trilogy but for now it was worth the wait for The Next Mrs. Parrish.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Reading Between the Wines book review #53/130 for 2024:
Rating: 4 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷
Book: The Next Mrs. Parrish
Author: Liv Constantine
RELEASES on June 18, 2024!!!

Sipping thoughts: In 2019, I read The Last Mrs. Parrish and was impressed with the writing and twists. So, I was beyond excited to find out that there was going to be a sequel to follow Daphne, Amber, and Jackson after the shoe dropped and everyone’s intentions were revealed. I was SO frustrated at certain parts of this book because I wanted the characters to be smarter, but I guess that is what makes the book fun. Jackson fresh out of jail is back to his gaslighting antics, Amber is still a big <bleep> but maybe even worse, but Daphne is a tad bit smarter and stronger this go-around. Reading this book had my emotions all over the place but I was very pleased with the overall story and am so happy the Constantine sisters decided to do a sequel!

Cheers and thank you to @RandomHousePublishingGroupBallatine and @Netgalley for an advanced copy of @TheNextMrsParrish.

Daphne and Amber Parrish are back! The past and current wives of Jackson Parrish find themselves back in each other's lives with Jackson is released from prison for tax-evasion. And Jackson is back to his old tricks of manipulation and shady stuff.

It was fun to get back into the world of the various Parrish family members. Jackson and Amber are still terrible and Daphne is trying to raise her daughters away from both of them. There is enough backstory to remind you to what happened in the first book, without it seeming to be a retelling. I really enjoyed this sequel, but still, for Daphne's sake, hope this is the end of it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for providing me with an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Don't miss out on the drama, deceit, and deception in this thrilling tale of revenge and redemption.

I hurried and read The Last Mrs. Parrish that was stuck in my kindle abyss before reading The Next Mrs. Parrish. I’m pleased to say the most recent book was pure pleasure, moved at a fast and interesting pace and I loved the ending!

A previous character, Meredith, took on a larger role with Daphne, and Daphne’s children became more of a focus in this book. Daisy Ann, a new character in the Parrish world gave the book just what it needed to put Amber where she belonged.

I can’t tell too much about the story without giving away good spoilers, so I’ll just say you. need to read this one! It’s full of intrigue, money and bad guys, with a murder thrown in the mix.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine, Bantam for allowing me to read an advance copy. I am happy to give my honest review and recommend this to other readers who like mystery, thrillers and suspense.

Daphne is back fighting her ex Jackson again as he wants her back!
The games begin! The games however aren't only between Daphne and Jackson and Daphne but there is revenge games between Amber and Daisy Ann as well. Who will come out on top?

This book follows the very popular book The Last Mrs. Parish. That book was so good I didn't think this book could be as good but it was! I simply could not put it down with 3 story lines told from 3 pov I was hooked. Just like The Last Mrs Paris , The Next Mrs Parish gets 5 stars from me.

I want to thank the Publisher and Netgalley for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Having enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish, I eagerly picked up its sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish. Although you can appreciate the second book without reading the first, I strongly recommend experiencing them in sequence. Amber returns, as cunning as always, and Jackson, fresh out of jail, remains as despicable as ever. However, Daphne has grown wiser and is determined not to be ensnared by their schemes again. This is a truly gripping thriller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫.
Persuasive, poisoned, and prevail.

Team Amber? Or Team Daphne? The two are back for a new delicious tale of deceit. Our Liv Constantine also introduces us to a new player in this unhinged story, Daisy Ann. Daisy Ann is ready for revenge, unlike any of the characters we have met, yet. She adds a whole to layer to this high drama read, calculating more investigation and manipulation to the pages. And Jackson? I’m speechless.
This inertwinned book will leave you cheering. Sometimes people deserve a dose of their own medicine, and this book outshines that theory. You will find karma at its finest with this one!
Thank you to Liv Constantine, Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine, and NetGalley for this fabulous read! You will find this (General Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers) book on shelves this Tuesday, June 18th!

Daphne, Amber, and Jackson are back in another thrilling cat and mouse game. Jackson, about to be released from prison. Amber, looking for a way to escape before Jackson’s release. Daphne, thinking she and the girls are safe from Jackson across the country. All unaware that their lives are about to change drastically again.

I loved the first book and was SO excited to be back with the characters in this sequel - even better, I wasn’t disappointed! A thrilling page turner for fans of domestic dramas.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for a fair review.
