Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I gave this three stars, but honestly, I’d read it again because did want to know what the characters were up to. This is my general feeling about most sequels. The reader can catch up with their characters, see how the author dreams up their future, and move on to the next book.

I was so excited to read this book and thank NetGalley for the opportunity. Wow! What an amazing read. Every bit as good as the first in the series. You’ll want to run out and read The Next Mrs. Parrish

I loved this book. At first, I wasn't sure if it would be as good as the first one, but it quickly sucked me in and I couldn't put it down. It was fast-paced and the story had multi-points of views that all intertwined in the end. This book was well-written and full of drama. I am a big fan of thriller books and this one did not disappoint! I definitely would recommend it!

This review contains small spoilers for The Last Mrs. Parrish (book one in the series)

Amber is back and as devious as ever! But this time the stakes were raised even more. I am completely invested in Amber’s twisted mind, and I love the authors ability to somehow make you teeth clench in anger but still make you kind of want to see her get away with it. I really enjoyed a new third perspective in this book and how so many twists and turns happened where I really didn’t know if Daphne would be okay. At this point who knows what Amber could do next, she’s fueled by revenge and a desire to be rich and not reliant on others. When Jackson showed himself to be the monster he is at the end of the first book (The Last Mrs. Parrish) I wanted to see Amber get her just desserts. But now I’m kind of invested in her and what she’s doing. The author has managed to create such an interesting villain that makes reading these books so enjoyable. And Jackson… well he’s just evil.

I also think the real villain here might just be Tallulah 👀

Liv Constantine is always an auto-read author for me and this is no different. I highly recommend reading The Last Mrs. Parrish and Amber’s prequel The First Shot to really get everything you can from this one. I will say I was disappointed in Daphne at parts. For how strong she was portrayed in the end book 1 it almost seemed like she reverted back and allowed herself to become a victim again. Jackson seemed even more deranged and willing to do whatever it takes but I wanted to see the strength Daphne had found before.

Im also ready to see if Amber can get out of the new mess she made for herself and hope another book is on the horizon.

I was so worried I wouldn’t remember The Next Mrs Parrish since it had been awhile! That book really got me into the psychological thriller genre and I was so excited to read the sequel. It was like riding a bike! The author referenced several things that jogged my memory and I really enjoyed this new story. The twists hit at all the right times and ended on a bang! Will there be a third book? I think there is more story there!

it took me about 1/3 of the book to start getting into it because i couldn’t figure out where it was headed, but once i was into it, it was great! i would absolutely recommend reading the prequel before starting this one to fully understand the characters, but i think the explanations were fine for people who didn’t read the prequel as well. loved the ending and how the characters lives intertwined. one of my favorite series!

I loved this follow-up to the Last Mrs. Parrish. I found the story to be just as enthralling and really made me excited to keep reading and figure out all the clues. I can’t wait to read more by this author duo!

This picks up right where The Last Mrs. Parrish left off! And without giving any spoilers for either book, I’ll just say this is the continuation of Daphne, Jackson and Amber’s story, and will make you wonder, can someone really change? And if so, who will it be?
Thankfully this one didn’t delve as much into the twisted deviant behavior that rattled me in the first book, but rest assure there is enough evil, backstabbing, power controlling conduct to go around. As Daphne tries to navigate the minefield that is Jackson, Amber has plans of her own. The girls are grown and, not surprisingly, have issues to deal with. New characters are introduced. There seems to be a lot coming at you, but after twisting one way then another it comes to quite the climax.
This will be available June 18, 2024 and perfect for a kick off summer read!

Thank you Netgalley, Random House, and Liv Constantine for allowing me to review an advanced reader copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish. It had been awhile since I read the first book, so I appreciated the refresher on all the events that went down at the beginning of book #2. Wow! This was a ride.

I wanted to scream at Daphne for going back across the country, but then we wouldn't have this book! Jackson/Amber play such good villains. I never knew what they were going to do next. I was happy this book had a happy ending and their games finally caught up with them. I was cheering for Daphne throughout the this whole book and so glad she got closure. Please pick up this read! You won't be able to put it down.

4.5 stars!!

Holy cannoli this was just as good as the first one! Twist and turns. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to read this one! Thank you so very much

Thank you #netgalley for this ARC. I loved this wild ride as much as the first book. There were so many twists and turns, and, despite the fact that almost all the characters were unlikeable and deeply flawed, I still found myself rooting for justice. 4/5 stars. Would definitely recommend.

Sister Duo Liv Constantine can do no wrong in my eyes! I have loved all their books and it is no different for this one. I loved diving back into Amber and Daphne’s world in Bishop Harbor. And new character, sweet southern belle Daisy Ann was a breath of fresh air! Do yourself a favor a pick this one up in June. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I'd previously read the first book, and I was happy to see a sequel. I'll say that I sometimes think sequels are lazy in the plot and not unique in any way. This one was a fun read, and if I hadn't read the first I still would have gotten enjoyment out of it.
I enjoyed this book and I'd recommend it.
Thank you to @netgalley and Random House Publishing for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

The sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish is just as good as the first. Daphne fighting for her children, Amber fighting to be better than everyone else, no matter the cost. And, Jackson fighting to control everyone in his life. Constant twists and turns and a great ending.

3.5 stars. I was slightly underwhelmed by this follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. I don’t really think the book needed a sequel, but I did enjoy it. Once again, I loved the different POV chapters. This was a fun popcorn read. I did feel like the ending came slightly out of left field and was left feeling a little disappointed.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

First I would like to thank Netgalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC of this book.

I read the first one and thought it was so fun. When I found out it was going to have a sequel I was so excited. I enjoyed this book but I feel like it wasn’t as good as the first one. We had all the same characters back and I really enjoyed the addition of Daisy Anne. I liked having the third POV.

I feel like I had a harder time getting into this one. I found the first one just intrigued me from the very first page this one I had a harder time rooting for the characters. Amber and Jackson were even worst then in the first book and that made it hard for me to enjoy their storylines at all.

But I love the over-the-top nature of these books and the twists and turns are always so fun. Plus the ending was fantastic. #netgalley #thenextmrsparrish

First, thank you NetGalley for supplying me with this ARC. I m so grateful for the reads I have received through you.
This book was at least 4 star read for me. As always the Constantine’s take you on a wild , unpredictable ride through the lives ofAmanda, Jackson, Daphne and my favorite Daisy Ann. So much fun to see them outmaneuver each other ending in the best of finales. A truly great read, again!!

I absolutely devoured "The Last Mrs. Parrish" so when Netgalley and Random House Publishing gave me the opportunity ARC read the sequel I was ecstatic! The beginning through me for a loop with the addition of new characters but watching everything unfold and come together was so satisfying. Sometimes when the first novel in a series is so utterly perfect it's hard to write a follow up but this one satisfied every one of my hopes for this book.

I cannot thank Liv Constantine, Random House Publishing Group-Ballentine, and Netgalley enough for giving me early access to this amazing work of art in exchange for my honest review!

I was very excited to have gotten an advanced readers copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish since the prequel was one of my favorites of 2018. Thank you to the author, Liv Constantine, NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an early copy.

Phew this book was a wild ride with so many twists and turns along the way! It was full of suspense and kept me turning the pages. I loved the short chapters and different points of view between Daphne, Amber, Daisy Ann and Jackson.

4.5 Stars just due to the fact that both Amber and Jackson were characters that I just despised. I was so disgusted with them and awaited them to get what they deserved throughout the entire book.

The ending was satisfying and I felt like it tied everything up nicely.
