A wonderful page-turner! I loved following Daphne and Amber’s stories further and loved the addition of Daisy Ann. Great read for fan of suspense novels!

This was an alright sequel. It didn’t wow me like the first did, but it wasn’t horrid, either. I loved the addition of the new characters/stories, I really liked seeing the girls more, and I like the logistics of it. I didn’t like how monotonous but then suddenly rushed it felt. This didn’t satisfy that thriller twisty craving but it was a satisfying ending all in all to a world I was excited to return to.

This was such a good thriller. I was a little nervous I would have to remember what happened in book one, but that wasn’t the case. This can definitely be read as a standalone. I didn’t realized how much I had missed Daphne, amber and Jackson. Definitely recommend this fast paced thriller.

I have been waiting years for this book! The last Mrs. parrish is one of my most frequently recommended reads. This book did not disappoint and we got both amber and daphne which I wasnt expecting to hear from Daphne again. And we meet a third character, Daisy. This books was twisty and entertaining the whole way through. I loved it almost as much as the first!

The story continues with Daphne making a comeback as the ex-Mrs. Parrish. Along with her daughters and mother, they live in California far away from her ex, Jackson and his new wife Amber in Bishops Harbor. I loved the first book The Next Mrs. Parrish. The conflict between Amber and Daphne climbs to a dangerous high and an additional character, Daisy Ann, tops it off with her own vengeance.
Jackson has spent time in prison with tax-evasion and is about to return home, but Amber has a new plan to take Jackson for everything he has and leave behind their son Jax to start a new life. She is unworthy of motherhood because she has left behind a child behind to build her own lavish lifestyle with a rich husband, who she has been accused of murdering.
Throw in some gaslighting, spousal abuse, stolen jewels worth millions and a lot of background information to end this book with more conniving and despicable actions. Sure to enjoy, as the authors are notorious for their twists and drama. I love it as Amber gets a taste of her own medicine.
Not as big a fan as the first one and all of their other books, but will continue to enjoy them.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bantom Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This has the same heart-pounding suspense as the first book but with knowing more as a reader this time I couldn’t help but keep screaming in my head, “DAPHNE, NO!”

However, this deliciously devious tale all comes together in a very satisfying build up and conclusion with the opportunity at the end for more in this universe.

Thriller lovers everywhere will eat this one up!

4.5 stars, rounded up

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

The sequel to the Last Mrs. Parrish, the Next Mrs. Parrish picks up right where the first book left off. Jackson Parrish is released from prison and is determined to get his ex wife Daphne back. Meanwhile Amber Patterson Parrish (his current wife) is determined to get as much of his money as possible.

This was such a fun twisty read. It was so enjoyable to watch the characters get what they deserved. While it is a sequel, the Next Mrs. Parrish provides enough background that you don’t need to have read the first book recently or even at all (though it would be helpful). Liv Constantine sets the story up perfectly for a third book that I’m hoping will come quickly.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC!

Wow! This book was so good!!! I was worried I would forget some of the things from the first book, but this one brought up some stories from the past when they talked about people which was so helpful! This was the perfect book to start off my summer reading!! LOVED!

Whoa. I’ve been waiting for years to revisit this story. I have to say that I wanted to scream by the end of it. I have never read or known a more awful person as Jackson Parrish. If you read the Last Mrs Parrish and thought he was bad, buckle up my friend.

Daphne is trying to rebuild her life with her daughters when her husband is suddenly released from prison. What happens next is nothing short of an absolute roller coaster of emotions. I did not read a synopsis going into this book because I did not want to spoil anything. If you’re a fan of their writing, this one is just as awesome.

Some of the characters in this book were too awful for words, and I had a hard time believing Jackson’s motives. It maintains soap opera-y tension as the characters all did their best to be horrible to each other and the poor small children caught in their lies and machinations.

NetGalley provided an advance copy of this novel, which RELEASES JULY 18, 2024.

Book: The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

Rating: 3.75/5

Pub Date Jun 18 2024

This book was better than I thought after the masterpiece of the first one, however the title is not fitting for the book even though I feel they are trying to keep the theme.

I didn't like Amber before and I really don't like her now .But props to her, for being so cunning and able to separate to gain what she wants. Daphne is a saint, as much as she has been through with trouble girls not understanding their dad and what he has done but still not placing Jax's parents' sins on him and loving him just the same.

This story was overall great and had some ways it could be better. A solid read!

Thank you @netgalley and @randomhousepublishing for this ARC!!

The Last Mrs. Parrish was one of the books that got me back into reading in 2020 and I was excited to hear there would be a sequel coming out!! This book kept me on the edge of my toes and constantly asking myself HOW IS THIS GOING TO END??

In The Last Mrs. Parrish, we meet Jackson and Daphne Parrish, who on the outside are living the life in Bishop Harbor. That soon comes to a screeching halt when Amber decides she wants Jackson all to herself.

In The Next Mrs. Parrish Jackson, Daphne and Amber are back! New character Daisy Ann is introduced and was an interesting addition and ended up playing a great part in the wrap up of this story! I loved the multiple POV's and trying to figure out how every detail and how everyone's story was going to be intertwined!

If you enjoyed the first book, I highly recommend the sequel & I bet you'll never guess how this one will end!

Thank you to NetGalley, RH Publishing group and Liv Constantine for an ARC of this book!

While this was a fast read, I found myself asking if this sequel was necessary and if the characters were better left at the end of the first book. Still very twisty and engaging but the feeling of why lingered throughout.

The story of Amber, Daphne and Jackson continues in the Mrs. Parrish sequel. As the story of these 3 characters unfolds in this next book I felt that is was at times hard to keep track of all of their stories and lies. It was good but not a book I couldn't put down. At times I felt like I was forcing myself to keep reading.

I enjoyed this book but the first half felt a little slow for me. After that I was kept interested. Daphne and Amber's story continues and takes a few twists and turns. Definitely worth reading and I suggest you read the previous book before. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy.

I was hoping for the drama and this one delivered. Lies, deceit. What a fast paced and entertaining read. Once again, we follow the cast of unlikable characters as they do whatever they can to get what they want. I really enjoyed this one!

Let me start out by saying that I enjoyed book 1, The Last Mrs. Parrish, a lot more. So if you aren't eager to revisit these characters, I recommend leaving well enough alone and pretending the story ended a while ago.

Amber and Jackson Parrish might just be the two worst characters to exist and if you already hated them and enjoyed watching them get their dose of karma, it doesn't happen again until the 11th hour.

I knew that would be the case going into this but it was harder to digest than I thought.

I really enjoy the way the Constantine sisters write and this is not a knock on their talent whatsoever -- I think I just was actually OK having Dahpne and Amber and Jackson stay in the past.

We're also introduced to a new character, Daisy Ann, who I actually did like. But Daphne is hard to read at times, like it's hard to read about her struggles without just wanting to bop her in the head sometimes. She knows what she actually should be doing and she just DOESN'T. That's frustrating as a reader.

Liked this one enough but probably wouldn't recommend it unless you LOVED book 1.

I have had the book "The Last Mrs. Parrish" on my reading list for a while and just hadn't read it yet. When I saw there was a sequel, I decided to read the first book so I could read the sequel. Oh my gosh - I couldn't put it down. I WANTED to put it down so many times because the characters made me so mad! These are characters you love to hate and want to see them get what is coming to them. But will they? I finished the first book and moved right into the sequel and was again on the whirlwind with these characters and their motives and trying to figure out what is true and who can and cannot be trusted. This was definitely a page-turner and I enjoyed every bit of it! Read them in order - it's worth it!

I read the first book in this series 5 years ago and to this day is one of my very favorite thrillers of ALL time! I could not wait to dive into this one. I loved reliving all the characters and had that same feeling of wanting to scream at the book and throw my kindle across the room at times! Haha I absolutely loved this!

A great follow-up to the first book, this book built upon the story of Daphne, Amber, and Jackson and brought in some new twists. The authors are fantastic at writing both likable and unlikable characters. Overall I enjoyed this book. Here's to hoping for more from these characters. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group Ballantine for the ARC.
