I am so glad we got a sequel to one of my favorite thrillers/domestic suspense books, and The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint! This is an on the edge of your seat, cat and mouse, twist upon twist story that had my heart beating in suspense. I could not read this one fast enough to keep up with the power plays that shifted between Jackson, Daphne, Amber and Daisy Ann. The ending was spectacular, and dare I say set us up for a return to Bishops Harbor? One can only hope! This book is amazing, and I highly recommend it. Side note: I thought the author did an amazing job seamlessly summarizing the major plot points of the fist book, so while it would be ideal to read the books in order, it isn't strictly necessary.

Obviously I was ecstatic to receive the ARC for The Next Mrs. Parrish. I loved the sisters first installment of the story and could not wait to find out what else they had in store for these characters.

For me, this was a solid 3.5 (4 stars rounded up) read. Daphne, Amber and Jackson are back at it but it felt like the story was very much a sequel. A fun read with the characters you know (and love to hate) but maybe not the most incredible work.

Buckle up… this one picks up right where the last ended (so, make sure to read The Next Mrs Parrish first). New characters, schemes, and mysteries from the past make for another thrilling novel from the sisters of Liv Constantine. While not as engaging as the first, The Last Mrs Parrish is full of twists and shocks that roll through until the very end. A solid 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 (because we only like whole numbers around here, I guess).

Loved this continuation of the book that really plunged me into the psychological thriller genre that I’m absolutely obsessed with now years later!

I was a bit worried I would forget the details of the first story because it’s been several years since I read The Last Mrs. Parrish. The authors did a fantastic job of tying in details from the first story to catch up readers and keep them engaged in this new book.

I just loved how the characters were all intertwined and they were all so self absorbed that I didn’t know which one to even trust as the book continued.

The book definitely had be holding my breath as I was reading and just hoping that the villain would finally get what was coming for him!

I devoured the Last Mrs. Parrish and was ecstatic to receive approval for this ARC of The Next Mrs. Parrish.

Having been a few years removed from the original, I didn’t really remember much beyond the main story. However, that didn’t really impact my read as there are recaps sprinkled throughout. Pretty quickly you’ll have strong feelings toward Jackson and Amber and be holding your breath to find out what happens next. The book is a game of cat and mouse and moves at a pretty fast pace.

Did we need this book? Not necessarily.
Does it provide some closure? A little bit.
Was I completely hooked? Absolutely!

I would recommend this book for anyone who has read The Last Mrs. Parrish. I’m not sure it would hold its own as a standalone book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for this ARC!

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and then twists and turns that kept me engaged, despite the fact that Jackson was such an outrageous character. I was so excited to be granted access to the sequel, but was so disappointed. I had to see the characters through, but I felt like Daphne’s decisions were so unrealistic and even silly and naive at points. Jackson and Amber were so outrageous and the writing just felt off. I appreciated the ending and am glad I saw it through, but I really wasn’t expecting this type of story line.

Thank you to NetGalley, the Publishers, and Liv Constantine for an ARC of The Next Mrs. Parrish! I devoted the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish a couple years ago and made me love Liv’s books! Now that being said, I did read it a couple years ago and didn’t remember everything that happened in the first one 😂 thankfully there are little reminders throughout the book that helped me go “oh yeah!” This book is like the drama thriller you never knew you needed. Many times I’m like no no no! 😂this kept me hooked even without remembering everything that originally happened and I was here for the pettiness of honestly everyone.

Amber Parrish is living the good life now - has her money, her status in the community, husband is in jail for tax evasion so she doesn’t have to worry about pleasing him while he’s away. But now she’s running out of money since Jackson is ya know. In prison. Money is drying up and she needs to find a way to get some more. She is not about to give up on all her hard work to be poor again. Daphne is living in California with her mom and daughters and one tries to escape to see her father, Jackson, on the other side of the United States. Daphne does not want to face Jackson again and all of his mind games and cruelty. She gives him a call and he welcomes her back saying he’s a changed man since prison. Daphne needs to make a big choice - let her daughter run away into this cruel man’s arms, or supervise it and ensure she’s saying while she’s there. But Jackson has never kept his word before.. is he this time? Has he changed? A ghost from Amber’s past is back and everyone… buckle up this is going to be a bumpy ride!

Liv Constantine does it again. I need to get my hands on their other books now. These sisters can write!

Wow, I loved this book! I've read all the books in the Mrs. Parrish series and I think this has been my favorite one so far! It was so special to follow more of Daphne's story and meet some familiar characters again! The book was very well-written and the plot twists really drew me in, as usual with Liv Constantine's books. This was a quick and easy read, definitely bingeworthy and kept me entertained the entire way through! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advance copy of this book for review!

Thank you netgalley and Bantam for this early read in exchange for an honest review.

The Next Mrs. Parrish follows 3 women, Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann. Amber has made many changes while Jackson has been in prison and for starters, she plans on ditching the mom life and wife life and getting out of the states. With her troubled past, how far will she get?

Through therapy, Daphne had come to the realization that she wants to try to give her daughters a chance to reconnect with their father after he’s released from prison. So she moves the girls back to Bishop Harbor for the summer to test things out. She wasn’t prepared for Jackson trying to rekindle their marriage.

Daisy Ann is a new character we get to meet. She runs a fabulous jewelry business with rare designs—derived from her mother’s creations. Daisy Ann’s parents are near and dear to her heart but both are now gone. Her dad was killed in a hunting accident by his new wife he got after Daisy Ann’s mom died. But Daisy Ann believes he was murdered—the culprit? You’ll have to read to find out!

I liked this book, but I didn’t love it. I felt like I was just coasting through it. The ending was great though. Everyone gets what they deserve(in my opinion). What a HUGE heart Daphne has, even after everything she’s been through. Love her!

I do wish there was more to put me on edge.

I knew the author would have to come up with a binge worthy drama with all the twists if there was going to be a sequel and it absolutely delivered to the point. Daphne, Amber and Jackson are back with their own secret agendas trying their best to manipulate the circumstances in their favor but there is a new opponent who is more capable than them now. How will things play out as Amber’s past comes chasing her in her new life. It follows the prequel and has really satisfyingly good twists for the readers. When Daphne comes back to her old life from California, i was literally screaming how she could be so stupid. This clearly shows how invested I was in the characters and the plot. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advance copy.

Thank you Random House & Net Galley for early access to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. The Next Mrs. Parrish takes place a year or so later after the first book ends, Daphne living a peaceful quiet life while Amber is as always planning her next move. We’re also introduced to a new character Daisy Ann hell bent on justice for the murder of her father who may be familiar if you read the prequel The First Shot (highly recommend reading this before the sequel) Events lead to Daphne returning to Bishop Harbor, Jackson up to his old schemes and Amber no better. The twists in the story were unexpected and it was an even better than the first.

This is a sequel to the 2017 book, The Last Mrs. Parrish. All of the characters from the last novel are back- Jackson, Jackson's new wife, Amber, and Jackson's ex-wife, Daphne. The story picks up shortly after the end of the last novel. Jackson has returned from jail. Daphne is living in California with her two children, who are struggling with the loss of their father from their lives. The book moves back and forth between Amber, Daphne and a third-newly introduced character, Daisy, who Amber has a past with. This book was very entertaining and had quite a few twists and turns. I would definitely recommend.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House/Ballantine for an advanced copy of this book!

As much as I liked The Last Mrs. Parrish and the other books by this author, The Next Mrs. Parrish fell short for me. I had a hard time getting into the storyline and connecting with some of the characters. It did pick up once I got a few chapters in but about halfway through the book I started skipping over Daphne's chapters; I really didn't like her character. I enjoyed the alternating narrators and how they each had their own stories but they intertwined with each other too. The backstabbing, double crossing and dirtiness helped make this a quick and easy read that has quite a few twist and turns. Fans of Constantine and The Last Mrs. Parrish should check out their newest!

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited for this book after reading the first one. Unfortunately this one did not keep my attention as well. I also noticed a lot of typos and extra/missed words throughout the book. It was interesting how the different lives intertwined and how cunning Jackson and amber were.

Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book.
I really enjoy The next Mrs Parrish, and I was super happy to continue in the world of Daphne, Amber, Jackson and Bishops Harbor.
Book #2 did not disappoint!
We pickup an about 1.5 years after book #1 left off, in the book we are following the POV’s of Daphne, Amber, Jackson and a new character named Daisy Ann. Daphne is trying to rebuild her life with her daughters in California, while Jackson and Amber are in Bishops Harbor being just as awful as ever. I don’t want to spoil anything, but things get very interesting, there were many times I wanted to scream at my kindle!
I’m not typically into series, but this kept me super interested from start to finish! If you loved The Last Mrs Parrish, you will love this too!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novel will leave your head spinning. A great book by Liv Constantine that will definitely hold your attention and have your turning the pages until the end. The story is a great scope you in and will have your mind racing all over the place about what is next.

They’re baaaack! Amber, Jackson and Daphne are back at it in the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. When I saw this was available on NetGalley, I audibly gasped. I loved the first book so much and I couldn’t wait to get back into the messy world of the Parrish family. The book is just as twisty as the first one, if not more so. There is just as much gaslighting, backstabbing and conniving as there was in book one. We also are introduced to new characters, which added a new layer to the story. For a good portion of the book I was wondering how Daisy Ann was going to factor in. And when it all came together, I was not disappointed!

Even though this is the second book, it is set up so that it can be read as a standalone. The authors really do a good job of reminding you, the reader, of things that happened in book one to help this book makes sense. For the best experience, I do recommend reading the last Mrs. Parrish first and then reading this book.

Is there going to be a book 3? I definitely think there could be, and I will be first in line to read it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you, Ballantine and NetGalley, for the advanced copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish.

Oh my word!! I loved it. Not going to lie, I didn't think I'd get approved for this one. I hadn't read The Last Mrs. Parrish so I dove into that one first. TNMP is not a stand-alone so do yourself a big favor and go read that one NOW! Then binge this one. Holy cow! Those were amazing! I will be adding all the Liv Constantine novels to my cart immediately!

Daphne is back. Unfortunately so are Amber and Jackson. When Tallulah runs away to see her father, Daphne finds herself agreeing to go back to Bishops Harbor for the summer for the sake of her daughters. While Jackson swears prison has made him a better man, Daphne is a little leary of the situation she finds herself in. Amber finds herself hemorrhaging money without Jackson there to provide for her and even more so when he gets released from prison. At a "Welcome Home" party for Jackson, Amber finds herself making plans to go to a very exclusive jewelry pop-up with a friend. Unbeknownst to Amber at the time is that the owner of the jewelry line is her dear old stepdaughter from another disaster-ending marriage. The twists and turns will have you breaking your neck to turn the page and find out what happens next in this deliciously thrilling and suspenseful follow-up!

Reading this sequel makes me question my four star review of The Last Mrs. Parrish. So many plot holes and character decisions that were there merely to move the plot forward. Why in the world would Daphne go back to Jackson instead of just telling her daughters the truth about their father? Daisy Anne's side story didn't really mesh with the rest of the book and the connection between the two stories at the end didn't add up. Hoping there's no third book because if there is I will have to read it.
