Not a lot of sequels or second books can live up to the first but The Next Mrs Parrish went above and beyond. The “bad” characters were just as evil as they were in the first book, and there was a lot of character development as well with the “good” characters. Very quickly read this book and kind of wishing for a third one someday too.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, and was really excited to learn that a sequel was coming out! I did enjoy the storyline, although this one dragged a little more for me than the first one did. The last quarter of the book definitely picked up, and had some great twists and turns. I did like the ending as well! Overall I thought it was an enjoyable story.

4-4.5 stars.

I really liked the first book and was excited to be approved for an ARC of this sequel!

This book is a true continuation of the first book and cycles between POVs of the women from the first book, Amber and Daphne, plus a new character.

Part of me wonders if I've lost the taste for reading about truly awful people doing awful things, but it was entertaining and kept me wondering who was one or two steps ahead of whom in these cat and mouse games. A few times I thought there were plot holes left dangling, but they ended up being addressed. I found the ending satisfying! If you liked the first one, definitely add this to your TBR - expected publication date June 18, 2024.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing me with an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy of this novel. Constantine does not disappoint with this sequel that outshines the original! More twists, more surprises and more suspense. This is a book you won't be able to put down. Here's hoping there is a 3rd Mrs. Parrish!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for an ARC of this book.

I really enjoyed the addition of Daisy Ann. Overall I enjoyed it, a good sequel but there was something missing for me. A lot going on so it seemed a bit rushed to wrap up the last few chapters. Amber and Jackson were as despicable as ever and Daphne made some crazy choices.

I adored this book! A huge shoutout to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my thoughts. After devouring "The Last Mrs. Parrish," I couldn't wait for the sequel. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. From the very first page, I was completely captivated. I was already deeply connected to the characters, and witnessing their journey continue was absolutely thrilling. This novel is an absolute page-turner; I found it nearly impossible to set aside. Each twist and turn kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting what would happen next. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this book!

Sequels can be so hit and miss but this one was definitely a hit. I enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish but I absolutely loved The Next Mrs. Parrish.
The whole story line was absolutely wild, but I absolutely loved it. Each part of the story could have gone so many different ways and it was all tied together so well. Just when you thought you figured it out, it all changed. Just when I thought I was going to roll my eyes and say “c’mon Daphne you know better” to myself for the 4th time it was great to see that she had a great idea! Great work, many thanks to Net Galley and Bantam for the chance to read this before it’s official release! #netgalley

Unfortunately, I found this novel to be disappointing, as the the mystery/thriller of this story was very thin, and the story was deeply convoluted and slow to develop. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for this honest review.

I love a good sequel and this one did not disappoint! The story of these characters all came back to me as I read. It was enjoyable and page-turning! The secrets, the tricks, and the lengths that they go to in order to get what they want! Loved this read!!

I could not put this book down I simply could not wait to see how this was going to end. I was very excited to read this because The Last Mrs.Parish was so well written and had a wonderful and unexpected twist at the end that I had not predicted. This new book was just as good maybe even better than the last one. I love how its written from two points of view and how the womens roles have switched from the last book. Amber and Daphne Parrish are thrown together once again when we thought the two women were finally free from each other. This book has so many twists you never can really figure out which characters are loyal to one another.
This book is an absolute page turner, the perfect summer beach read. Amber is the current wife of Jackson Parrish and is climbing the social ladder as she has always dreamed no longer a poor wall flower. Daphne on the other had has moved to the west coast to hopefully live a peaceful life away from her manipulating ex husband Jackson. Unfortunately for Daphne her oldest daughter wants to know her Dad and Daphne again becomes tangled in the web of Parrish lies and deceit.

Love the cover. I wanted this book to be as great as the first but it didn’t live up to my expectations. The book was a little cliché and predictable. I really don’t like Jackson as a character and his controlling, abusive nature was cringy and blah. A 2.5 start rounded to a 3. An easy, quick read but this one did not met the expectations I had for it.

I loved the first book so I was very excited to get my hands on an advanced copy of the sequel!

It was great to see what the characters were up to and the addition of Daisy Ann took things up a notch.

Daphne thought life was great in California living with her mother and two daughters, Tallulah and Bella. She thought her devastating ordeal with Jackson was in the past and they could finally find some peace in their lives. That is until Tallulah starts acting out and she is forced to take them back to Bishops Harbor for the summer to reconnect with their father who has been recently released from prison for tax fraud.

Daphne has no clue that her life is about to take a turn for the worse when Jackson has set up a devious plan with his new wife, a con-artist named Amber that will force her into a corner with no way out.

I loved Daisy Ann’s tie-in to the story as it made the story fresh and engaging. Save this book to your TBR for a thrilling summer read.

Thank you to NetGalley & Random House Publishing for this advance reader copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish!

Hold onto your hats for this exciting, twisty, faced paced novel. If you loved The Last Mrs. Paris, you're going to love the latest Liv Constantine novel "The Next Mrs. Parish"!!! All of the characters are back as well as a few new ones, scheming and betraying one another. Just when you think you have the puzzles solved, there's a new twist thrown into the mix!
It's a story of Manupulation, Betrayle, and Vengence.
I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend the Next Mrs. Parish.

I was excited to hear about the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, but after reading it, I’ve realized that not all stories need to be continued. Maybe my taste has evolved since the first book was released seven years ago..but..I felt that the plot was very surface level, the writing was clunky, and there wasn’t really any “thrill” in this thriller.

Thank you to Random House and Net Galley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Daphne and Amber are back, along with Daisy Ann and Jackson, in a sequel that is as tantalizing as the first novel. This time around, everyone is out for revenge, and the storylines intermingle in a satisfying way. If you enjoyed the original book, definitely snag this one as well.

Very rarely do books make me tell people to leave me alone or take it with me to the bathroom....but this book was it. It had my heart pounding and need to yell so strong. From beginning to end you are on edge. A truly heart thumping must-read! One day was too long to complete this book!

This book was SO good, I wanted more!!! I could not stop reading this. This was the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. It could be read alone, but is so much better after having read the first one. I loved the new characters and how everyone intertwined with each other! The twists were great! There were several times my jaw dropped! I definitely recommend!

Unfortunately I did not love this one as much as I did the first. Felt this book was repetitive and outlandish. That said, I would still recommend giving it a try. Maybe it's just me. Daisy Ann made a great addition to the book. Would love to read more on her. Liv did a great job making Amber even more vile than the first. Can't think of a character I hated more than her. Well done there!

I would like to thank Ballantine and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC. I read the previous book- The Last Mrs. Parrish, a few years ago and found it a twisty, engaging thriller. I am not as fond of the sequel. I understand there is another book, called First Shot, that is a prequel and clarifies some of the plot points. Quite frankly, I am not going to bother. This is a rehash of the first, with a new character, Daisy Ann, and more of the same nastiness from the first. I really was not as engaged this time with the characters and plot line. It just wasn't for me.
