Was SO excited to see there was a sequel - and it did not disappoint! As always, great writing that keeps you wanting "just one more chapter". Great twists and turns - I couldn't have predicted some of it! My frustrations with Daphne remain - how could someone be that dumb to go back - but other than that - an excellent summer read and I highly recommend!

I’m going to be honest—the first one was decent, and kept me interested. This one, though, coming out so long after I read the first, didn’t keep my attention. I was disappointed.

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" by Liv Constantine delivers a pulse-pounding sequel that thrusts readers back into the twisted lives of Daphne and Amber Parrish. The novel picks up with Amber at the pinnacle of her socialite status, only to face the imminent release of her husband, Jackson, from prison, which threatens her newfound stability. Daphne, having vowed never to return to Bishops Harbor, is drawn back when her daughter runs away, leading to a tense summer reunion. Constantine masterfully weaves a narrative of deception and revenge, where alliances are fleeting, and trust is a rare commodity. The characters, each with their own agendas, are intricately developed, adding layers to the suspenseful plot. The novel's twists are both shocking and satisfying, keeping readers on edge as the stakes escalate. "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a gripping tale of manipulation and survival that reaffirms Liv Constantine's prowess in crafting compelling psychological thrillers.

Couldn’t wait for this sequel! 🤗

Step into the gripping world of "The Next Mrs. Parrish," where secrets lurk around every corner and trust is a scarce commodity. With its captivating narrative of revenge and deception, this thrilling sequel offers readers an immersive experience they won't soon forget. From the intricately woven plot to the complex characters, every page of "The Next Mrs. Parrish" keeps you guessing and craving more.

As alliances shift and betrayals abound, “The Next Mrs. Parrish” plunges readers into a world where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide. With its shocking twists and pulse-pounding suspense, this novel is a must-read for anyone who loves a good psychological thriller.

Once I saw there was a sequel to this book, I was so excited! Daphne and Amber’s story was not over yet and I love the direction that Liv Constantine took. I had a feeling that Amber must have burned other people in the past, so I loved the introduction of Daisy Anne as a character as she tries to get justice for her father. Jackson is still as crazy as ever and my only critique is that some of the scenes between Jackson and Daphne were a bit far fetched and the conversations didn’t feel natural. I did love all the twists and am glad I was able to hear more and thinking that the cliff hanger might mean a 3rd book in the future hopefully? :)

With Jackson in jail, Amber's money is running out. She makes some drastic moves in order to stay on top even after Jackson is released from prison.  Meanwhile, Daphne has moved with her girls and mother to California to get away. Things were going well until Tallulah starts acting out, claiming she misses her father.  In an attempt to help her girls, Daphne moves them back to the East Coast for the summer so they can see their dad.  She keeps a close eye on Jackson, who claims he is a changed man.

Thoughts 💭
This book is the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish.  After reading both of them, I'm not sure which I enjoyed more.  This book has all the things I loved about the first book, including toxic characters, mind games, manipulation, and surprises.  I was compelled to keep reading because I HAD to know what was going to happen next.  This book is more succinct and to the point than the first, which I think made it a smoother read.  It also rotated between the POVs of the three women better since every chapter was either from Amber, Daphne, or the new character, Daisy Ann. I have to admit, I was frustrated with Daphne. She got away and put herself right back into the mess. I would have handled most things differently, but then there would be a second book. This one had a lot of twists, turns, and wow moments.  The plot flowed smoothly, and the end was very satisfying!  This is another great book by this sister duo!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So rarely I feel that thriller sequels do not measure up to the first. This is NOT the case with this one. Just as the first book I ate this one up in like two days!! I honestly forgot how awful some of these characters are and liv Constantine did a great job reminding me of so 😂

I won’t go into much detail because I don’t want to spoil for those who have not read “The Last Mrs Parrish”, but just know that if you’re looking for a thriller that’s an intense page turner, a wide range of characters, and some much needed justice, this is the one!

This book releases June 18th, 2024 and thank you to NetGalley for this arc!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

First of all, I LOVED “The Last Mrs. Parrish.” Secondly, this is 💯 a sequel, so warning to future readers to not read them out of order.

This story picks up on the main characters from the first two years later. Still unreliable narrators, and still they suck you into their story, or their version of the story. There’s not much more that I can say without giving it away, except if you loved the first, don’t miss the second.

I was excited to receive an advance copy of THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH by Liv Constantine. Before reading THE LAST MRS. PARRISH I mostly read mainstream fiction. I credit that book with starting my current obsession with domestic thrillers. I feared the sequel would not be able to live up to the original. I was wrong. The lives of Daphne and Amber are still as harrowing as ever especially with the addition of Daisy Ann’s storyline. The devious twists and turns had me on the edge until the mind blowing ending. Add this book to your summer reading list.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As interesting and amazing as The Last Mrs Parrish. Jax is trying to get back with Daphne with the help of Amber and the trio is back with all the suspense and mystery. Highly recommend if you enjoyed part 1. If you haven't read part 1 it is better to read it before because a lot of back stories are mentioned and that would ruin the reading experience of Part 1.

I really enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish, so I was excited to read this book. Unfortunately, the sequel fell flat and probably should never have happened. This book felt entirely too long and convoluted for the sake of being twisty. I enjoy this author, but this was a miss for me. 2.5 stars overall

Ohhhhh this one is so good! Liv is fantastic , and didn’t disappoint! Wasn’t able to put it down!

Thank you, NetGalley for this ARC!

Perfect follow up to the original book. I ate this one up. This is one of those authors where whatever they put out, you read because you know it’s going to be great.

This is the continuation of Jackson, Daphne and Amber’s story. I was so excited to read this as I had just finished the first book. I did enjoy it but almost felt like the first book should have been it. At times this book felt like it was working too hard to give the characters new endings they deserved. Each character got the ending they should have but they also did in the first book. I don’t want to say much to give away the ending but Daisy Ann quickly became a favorite character. I felt like she was well developed and could have had her own story.

3.5 stars!

I was SO exciting to finally read this. I really enjoyed the first one but this one was just really frustrating to read. It wasn’t bad but it did feel a bit too long but I still liked it.

I think this book can also work as a standalone because it does give you a bit of summary of what happens on the first one. No character has ever made me as mad as Jackson and Amber do!

The ending was actually really statsifying and enjoyed the last 20% of the book so much more.

The Other Mrs. Parrish was one pf my favorite books ever that restarted my love of reading again. That is why, when I saw that there was a sequel, I just knew I had to read it. The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint and proved to be just as good. I really loved adding another main character to the mix as it added another backstory that helped with the suspense. What a great read! I look forward to more Liv Constantine novels in the future.

I LOVED The Next Mrs. Parrish and I was THRILLED to get this sequel!

I wonder if it has been too long since I’ve read the original, or if I should have read the prequel (I didn’t know about a prequel until I saw another reviewer mention it) before I read this one, but it just didn’t have the same feel or appeal for me.

Amber is an atrocious character, Jackson is a sociopath, and everyone else (other than Daisy) is forgettable.

I did think Daisy was a good addition.

I just wasn’t invested in this like I wanted to be. I do think many readers will eat this up, and may even like it more than the original, but it was just not for me.

I enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish (book 1) , The Next Mrs. Parrish was not to my liking. I found it to be slow and extremely unbelievable.
Daphne was so annoying and continued to make one bad decision after another one.. At first I was unsure who Daisy Ann was and how she was relevant to the storyline.
This one didn't work for me and hopefully, I've seen the last of Mrs. Parrish.
Thanks to Net galley and the publisher for the digital ARC.

I was lucky and received an ARC of this book! I loved the first one and was so excited to dive back into the story with Daphne and Jackson. This one adds in a little more backstory of where Amber came from and just how diabolical she is. This one has multiple POV and goes back and forth between the characters. I enjoyed it, but got hooked and couldn’t stop about 80% of the way through! If you enjoyed the first of this series I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one as well!

Amber and Daphne are back. Amber does not disappoint and continues to be a horrible character. I feel like Daphne redeems herself in this one... she was a little bit evil in the last book, but her love for her daughters forces her to stand up for herself and play the game a little bit more. You really need to read The Last Mrs. Parrish before reading this book to understand the characters and appreciate the story. I enjoyed the sequel just as much as the first book. There are some new characters and new twists that keep you guessing - who can you trust? who will survive?

An entertaining psychological thriller with a satisfying ending.
