Woah, woah, woahhhhh! The Next Mrs. Parrish brought me back into reading years ago, and The Last Mrs. Parrish will keep me reading anything Liv Constantine writes!

The array of emotions I felt in this book: hope, disgust, anxiety, murderous, to elated and happy!

My favorite character in this book is Daisy Ann. She is a strong, independent mother and business owner who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her father’s death.

If I could give it more than five stars I would!

P.S. I will hate Jackson Parrish until my dying day.

The follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish finds us with Amber visiting her husband Jackson in jail, and Daphne and the girls living in California. The girls miss their dad and Daphne agrees to take them to CT for the summer to visit. Daisy Ann, a new character from Amber’s past is also introduced to us.

I’m sorry I can’t understand how a woman who went through so much psychological and physical trauma in her marriage with Jackson (in the first book) could agree to expose her children to him again. If I didn’t have to review this book I would’ve just stopped at 40% because I was so annoyed at the turn of events. What these very unlikeable characters (Amber and Jackson) getaway with is infuriating. I am glad I didn’t stop reading because I really needed to see how the drama ends between these characters. Definitely read if you read the first one and enjoyed it.

While I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Mrs Parrish, this one did not deliver. Everything was incredibly far-fetched and hokey, which was disappointing as I was really looking forward to this. While I liked the introduction of a new perspective (Daisy Ann), it all felt a little too soap opera-y. During a verbal altercation, one character pokes the other woman as she speaks. Later, a character lures another character to meet her by pretending he had one a Visa gift card. It just all felt rushed, and I couldn’t suspend belief. That said, I very much appreciate the ARC from NetGalley, Liz Constantine, and Bantam.

Wow. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and I have to admit, this book is one of the best I’ve read this year. It had me almost yelling ready to throw my kindle at least 3 times and then cheering at points as well. There was a bit of storyline that was hard to believe at a couple points, but overall it didn’t really matter. Several great twists with most catching me off guard. I loved it and definitely recommend. 5 Stars.

A highly anticipated sequel for me. As the situation usually is, the second didn’t QUITE live up to the first.

I just cant stand the “she’s crazy” gaslighting and manipulation in stories. I get it’s necessary for the story and I knew I’d be satisfied at the end, but the first 75% just made me SO ANGRY.

The original is one of my favorite thrillers of all time. I wish it was left alone. 🙈

That being said, I liked the new characters and liked the ending!

Thank you to Net Galley, Liv Constantine for this ARC. I didn’t love the last Mrs Parrish because the characters were so difficult to like. I have to say having already known who they were, I enjoyed this sequel. It was an interesting twist that brings Daphne, Jackson and Amber back in each others worlds. The final 3rd of the book I absolutely could not put down and was on the edge of my seat to find out if Daphne would make it out with the girls. I am very interested if there will be another book continuing the story.

. 2.5/5 ⭐️⭐️💫
I’m not sure I like this as much as the first book. I was really annoyed throughout the whole story. While I was pleased Daphne escaped from Jackson once again, I strongly believe that her character did not grow or improve. She still came of as a pushover and gullible. After everything she went through, she seemed to not have learned her lesson. Her trauma and ptsd from the abuse were not properly addressed and treated in my opinion. If you were gonna make a second book, I think the protagonist must show some growth and strength to her character. I didn’t get any of that.
She escaped with the help of other people.
And that Tallulah girl. Ugh. She was annoying till the end. Daphne couldn’t even discipline her own child.
These are just my two cents.
Thank you for the ARC.

I was surprised that there was a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, as I thought that book wrapped up nicely. However, I loved that book, so I had to check out the follow-up! While not quite as good as the original, I still found this to be an enjoyable read.

I love the first book "The Last Mrs. Parrish. It was one of my favorite books of all time. I was so excited to see a sequel. I think the book started off a little slow but I found that it picked up at the halfway point. In this sequel, Amber is back and more evil than ever. Amber is currently married to Jackson Parrish, who is just out of prision for tax fraud. Daphne decided to return to Bishop Harbor for a limited time after her daughter Tullulah has acting out due to missing her father.
Daphne planned to have limited visits with her controlling ex husband. However, Jackson had a different plan. The book is full of twists and turns as Jackson goes back to his old ways and is trying to win over his one true love Daphne. In the book we also meet a new character named Daisy Ann. I wasn't sure how she would fit into the storyline but it turned out to be refreshing. I also really enjoyed the details of Amber's life so you could get a glimce of why she turned out to be a vengeful person.
Thank you to Random House Publishing Group and Netgalley for the advance copy.

Thanks to RH-Ballantine & NetGalley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

If you thought that the people from The Last Mrs. Parrish couldn't get any worse, you're in for a surprise. Honestly, I found it really difficult to re-engage with these characters. They're all so awful (or, in the case of Daphne, TSTL)! Amber? Worse, but now with delusions of grandeur. Jackson? Recently released from prison, but just as bad, has learned *nothing*, and thinks he can win Daphne back (just, you know, she has to be a size 4 again). Daphne? Waaaaaayyyyy too trusting, again, and she really should know better by now. She does a lot of "protecting the kids" from knowing what a POS their father is.

There are a few new characters to flesh out the trail of shittiness that Jackson and Amber go down, and they are fine. I didn't feel particularly connected to any of them, but they moved the story along.

I knew what I was in for with a second book, but I doubt I will read another. The Constantines' books are always full of creeps, but this series is just too much for me. Your mileage may vary! And the ways they come up with the have people double-cross one another are very inventive!

“Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be.”

The Next Mrs. Parrish is out this summer, June 18th. Mark your calendars because this is a definite beach read!

⭐️s: 3.5/5

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish so much, that when I found out there was a sequel being written I could not wait to get my hands on it. When people ask me for recommendations, it is always one of the first books that come to mind.

I was a little surprised that there was a sequel being written because I thought the first book wrapped up nicely. The sequel wasn’t quite as good in my opinion, but it certainly didn’t disappoint, either.

Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’s lives upon the resurgence of a forgotten threat, forcing another game of cat and mouse.

Constantine does a great job of transitioning between multiple POVs while keeping a good pace. While it did not have as strong of a major twist like the first book, it still has so many smaller plot twists that keep you guessing where everyone will end up. It kept my adrenaline up and my female rage high.

Huge thanks to Random House - Ballantine (@randomhouse) via @netgalley for the digital advanced copy!

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance ecopy of this title. In this sequel, Daphne Parrish has made a new life across the country, and Amber Parrish is plotting a way to abscond with her husband's fortune while he is in prison. Daphne wants nothing to do with revisiting her past, but her daughter pushes for time with her father. Daphne makes the mistake of returning east with her daughters for the summer, where she is, again, gaslighted and mentally abused. Meanwhile, Amber's grand plans are on the brink of collapse. Will Daphne be able to free herself again? This sequel is fast-paced and equal to, or even better than the original. Highly recommend!

I loved The Last Mrs.Parrish! I was so excited when I found out a second one was coming out. I couldn’t believe I was given an ARC of The Next Mrs.Parrish! It was just as good as the first one. There was so much suspense. I honestly had no idea what to expect everytime I turned the page. Daphne decides to go back to Bishops Harbor so the girls can see their dad. Daphne knows she can’t trust him but she wants her girls to be happy. Did she make a mistake coming back? And Amber doesn’t know what she’s going to do now that money is running low. She will do whatever it takes to get money and doesn’t care who gets hurt during the process. There were so many shocking twists and turns. I loved how it ended. I would mind a third book! I would definitely recommend this book! Thank you so much Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine, Live and NetGalley for the ARC!

This book was nicely written although I found it to fall flat and didn’t like nearly as much as the first one. I couldn’t connect with the characters and lost interest.

This was a solid sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. There were so many twists & turns but the one grapple I had was there were WAY too many new characters. After almost every chapter I found myself stopping & saying “wait..who is that person again?” I will say however, we do get the ending we want & revenge is oh so sweet.

Many thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Hitting shelves in July!

This ARC was gifted to me by Bantam Publishers in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are my own and have not been swayed in anyway.


As a huge fan of "The Last Mrs. Parrish", when I found out a sequel was being written I could not wait to get my hands on a copy, and let me be clear this book did NOT disappoint.

I was not sure how the sequel would go, given that the ending of the last book was wrapped up nicely, but once again Liv Constantine did not let me down. I loved how all the characters stayed true to their original selves from book one, but still kept you entertained by their antics. Daisy Ann's character was a smooth addition to the mix and through the multiple twist she quickly became one of my favorites.

I do have one complaint, and it is no different in this book than any other book with the same plot but can we please stop writing southerners as these hilly billy like characters who talk in hyperbole and idioms all the time. It's honestly exhausting. I mean we live in a diverse country and it is so painfully obvious that these stereotypes are just that STEREOTYPES. Daisy Ann was a woman of old Texas money and wealth and at times I felt she was written like an uneducated woman who married into money. It just did not flow for me and I think it took away from the plot at times. This is just a personal pet peeve but I would be remiss if I did not mention it.


Overall, this book is a great sequel for those who loved the original, I love how everything from the first story was wrapped up and answers were given. Without spoiling too much I believe everyone got what they deserved in the end and the twist were not predictable. It was a great and easy read and the pacing was perfect. Sequels are not often done well, and most of the time seem pointless or almost ruin the first book entirely but I do not believe this is one of those.



Review also posted to my GoodReads account: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6432791638

Review: I couldn’t contain my excitement when I saw there was a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. I absolutely loved the first book but I didn’t really know how the authors were going to pull this off with such unlikable characters in the first book, but they did flawlessly.

The book starts off with Daphne returning to Bishops to have her girls see Jackson who is released from prison. Jackson swears he is a changed man and is spending the summer with Daphne and the girls. It also introduces a new character, Daisy Ann, a Texas woman out for revenge. Amber is at the center of both of these groups, causing more trouble than ever.

The book is so well written, balanced and has so many twists that you do not see coming. With the first book, the characters were so unlikable, we have another character to root for which was nice. Jackson and Amber are still deplorable and awful human beings, but k enjoyed seeing how far their would push it.

I loved the pacing of the book. The entire time you are at the edge of your seat waiting to see how this will all play out and if the antagonists will win or con their way again. What I absolutely loved was the ending. It was the perfect way to end the book, so fitting that I gasped.

I highly recommend this gripping, well-written domestic thriller with a such a satisfying ending. Put this on your list asap.

Liv Constantine does it again with her psychological page turning thriller. I could not get through the book fast enough. The way the characters intermingle and tie together was epic! Must read!!!

Part one of this book was recommended to me. I REALLY enjoyed it so I was so happy when I found out that there was a part 2. Is it just me or do you get excited when you find a book that you can’t put down until you finish it. This was one of those books for me. Highly recommended!!

These books are what suspense fiction is all about!Liv writes books that have all the components that make you want to stay up all night to get to the end!!! The pace, the tempo, the writing, it is a perfect storm!!! I love and despise the characters in these books, Liv is a master at her craft!!!
