****Huge thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, and the author for an ARC****

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" serves as a thrilling sequel to the beloved "The Last Mrs. Parrish," and for fans of the original, it doesn't disappoint. From the moment I secured an ARC, I was jumping with joy, eager to dive back into the world crafted by my favorite author.

While some might argue that a sequel wasn't necessary, I found myself thoroughly entertained by the twists and turns woven into this narrative. Although it didn't quite surpass the first book in my eyes, it certainly came close. What sets this sequel apart is its ability to stand alone, making it accessible to new readers while still satisfying long-time fans.

One aspect that immediately struck me was the absence of repetitive or drawn-out sections. The pacing is impeccable, keeping the tension high and the pages turning. Each twist is unpredictable and cleverly executed, leaving me on the edge of my seat and eagerly anticipating what would happen next. The ending, in particular, is deliciously satisfying, leaving me with a villainous laugh and craving for more.

I appreciated the intelligent writing and well-balanced narrative, as well as the powerful mind games that kept me guessing until the very end. The inclusion of multiple narrators added depth to the story, allowing us to see different perspectives and unravel the complexities of the plot.

For those who haven't yet delved into this series, I can't recommend it enough. Both "The Last Mrs. Parrish" and its sequel offer a level of suspense that is unmatched, making them essential reads for fans of domestic thrillers. Overall, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a gripping, riveting, and thoroughly satisfying read that I'll be recommending to everyone I know.

The Next Mrs. Parrish draws you in with its interesting characters and twisting storyline. I did read the first book and enjoyed the cat and mouse style writing. This book takes those characters into new depths, - of either good or evil. It is sometimes over the top but always interesting. You know that there will be plot twists, but surprisingly they were not always easy to predict. Great writing keeps the reader engaged and the story flowing. A fairly predictable end…..or is it?

Wow wow wow!! First thank you @livconstantine2 and @netgalley for giving me an advanced copy of this book. I have been waiting SINCE I FINISHED THE LAST MRS PARRISH for this sequel and it did NOT disappoint!

The twists and turns of this story were maniacal, twisted, clever, and always one step ahead of you. I ate it up! I couldn’t put this book down. It continued off the first book so perfectly and ended with the most perfect bow you can imagine.

Also - the new character Daisy Ann is a PERFECT new addition to this story line. I was a bit concerned at first when I saw her name, but she helped the story along so perfectly.

I cannot rave about this book enough. I cannot wait for my physical copy to come in the mail! I also plan on rereading The Last Mrs Parrish this year - it will not disappoint.

Amber is at it again! And she's no better than she was in the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish. I don't know if I can say I liked her any less because she was so repelling in the first book. Man this girl drives me BONKERS!!
Anywho, between Amber and Jackson-this book makes my skin crawl. They are the worst. Worse than worst. Talk about some terrible, horrible no good very bad characters. Not only are they bad characters, their actual character as human beings are a disgrace.
Amber and Jackson are on the verge of divorce. Raising little baby boy, Jax. Jackson is in prison but about to be released. Daphne is in California with her mom, Tallulah and Bella.

I love the writing. Even if I don't LOVE the bad people, I do love the what everyone is developed and how it's so powerful to make me feel the way I do!

Against Daphne's better judgement, her and the two girls move back to Connecticut for the Summer. That's when it all really gets messy.

Stolen diamonds, back stabbing, new investigations, Jackson and Amber up to no good-and Daphne still trying to prove her worth and once again, convince the authorities she isn't crazy. Also, we're introduced to Daisy Ann, who is trying to prove Amber murdered her dad years ago.

This was a whirlwind. Fast, easy read. But just too many unlikeable main characters. They make my skin crawl. Daphne is more likable in this book. But there are so many outlandish events.

It's a fun read if you're looking for crooked lies and lots of deceit.

I am so grateful to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for this early release!! And of course the authors who I'd love to chat with over margs or coffee and pick their awesome brains on where they come up with these wild ideas!

I was so excited to read the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish to which I gave a 4-star review. I found the twist to be original and satisfying.

However, some stories do not need to be continued and this is one of them.

Daphne now lives in CA with her mother and her two daughters. Amber is plotting how she’ll get more money to live the life she feels she deserves and Jackson is nearing the end of his prison sentence.

When Daphne’s oldest daughter becomes depressed and acts out because she misses her dad, Daphne makes the asinine decision to return home to Bishops Harbor thinking a summer with Jackson will be the thing that is needed to cure her daughter. Why?! Why in the world, after everything she went through to get away from him in the first place, would she go back and think she would be safe? Daphne, though sweet and a genuinely good person, is extremely naïve and frankly, dumb for making that repeat trip. It’s just not believable. And, nothing that follows upon her return is surprising.

Amber is up to her old tricks, manipulating everyone she comes into contact with to get the riches and respect to which she feels entitled. And, her sense of entitlement is absolutely disgusting. You know how there are villains you love to hate? Well, Amber is not one of them. She does not possess a single redeeming quality, is not relatable in the least and cannot be satisfied no matter how much she has. I truly loathed her character which took away from my potential enjoyment of the book.

Jackson is ready to be rid of Amber and has the deluded opinion that he can get Daphne back and restore the ideal family he once had. Claiming himself a “changed man” after his stint in prison he tries his best to woo Daphne but is soon playing his mind games again. Shocker.

Daisy Ann is a new character first introduced in the prequel, The First Shot. She’s now on the scene ready to do everything she can to take Amber down and has a very good reason to despise her. I found her to be the only likeable main character. By the way, reading the prequel isn’t necessary to understanding her role in this book. A fine job is done of introducing Daisy Ann and explaining her understandable grudge with Amber.

I read TLMP back in 2018 so I honestly can’t remember much about the writing. However, I found the writing in the sequel to be pretty terrible. It’s all very superficial and mainly focused on what people are wearing, how people look, how big houses are, etc. There’s not much substance to the book. Did I find it entertaining? That’s a tricky question. And, I guess my answer would be, a little. The way the characters ultimately screw each other over is amusing but I very easily could have done without knowing how the stories of Daphne, Amber and Jackson continued after TLMP and hope their tales do not continue.

Thank you to NetGalley and everyone else involved for the ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

One of my most anticipated reads of the year Another standout domestic thriller from Liv Constantine! Fast paced and jam packed with twists and turns, the Next Mrs. Parrish pulls you in from page one and does not let go until the end! We follow the dual paths of Amber, Daphne and Daisy Ann through their complex paths for justice and revenge the whole time wondering what the heck just happened!!! Such a good read!

This was a fun and fast paced follow up to the original story. I didn’t really think this book was necessary but it was nice to see the two main villains get what was coming to them!

I read The Last Mrs. Parrish in 2018 and it was one of those books that I just couldn't forget. I wasn't expecting there to be a follow up book, but I am thrilled that there is! This book just sucked me right in and wouldn't let go. I love the story that is being told. I love the way I really dislike some of the characters. I love the twists in the book. I love the satisfying ending.

I have read 3 books by Liv Constantine (The Last Mrs. Parrish, The Senator's Wife, and The Next Mrs. Parrish) and these sisters have quickly become one of my favorite thriller authors. I will definitely be reading more of Liv Constantine in the future.

Liv Constantine is 100% an auto-read author duo for me now!!!

I binged The Next Mrs. Parrish, The Last Shot and immediately started my ARC of The Last Mrs. Parrish and it did not disappoint! This trio should absolutely be read in order and the novella is a must read before reading the newest installment in this series.

If you like reading:
🐁 Cat & Mouse Plots
#️⃣ Multiple POV
🌚 Morally dark grey characters
💰 Con Artists

I highly recommend not only reading this series but for those that read the first book- it is so worth finishing the storyline especially if you hated Jackson and Amber.

Thank you so so so much to the publisher for my ARC in exchange for my honest review! I cant wait to read the rest of Liv’s backlog and next books coming soon hopefully!

I read the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish a few years ago while on vacation in Cabo and really enjoyed it. It was a fun, fast read. I was super excited when I saw this one on bookstagram that it had a sequel! I had to read it.

It’s definitely necessary to read the first one before you read the second. It was so long ago that I read it at times I felt like I was missing something because I couldn’t remember all the details from the first one.

This story was told from Daphne, Amber, and Daisy Ann’s perspectives. The dual perspectives were done well. The chapters were straight and to the point. I was slower getting into it until about 60% into it and then I really couldn’t put it down.

One cool aspect I loved was Daisy Ann in Dallas since that’s where I live. I love that she used real locations. It was actually pretty cool. 🤠

The manipulation parts involving Daphne’s kids were a little hard to read, but all in all it was a good read and I enjoyed it. I loved how it was women not giving up and standing up for what is right and taking back ownership of their lives. 💪🏼 I also liked the ending and it left on quite the cliffhanger! #TeamDaphne

The Next Mrs. Parish continues the story of Jackson, Daphne, and Amber. If you haven't read the first book, The Last Mrs. Parish, I would recommend reading it as you will be lost in the previous story lines.

I thought this book was a great sequel to the first one. As soon as I finished the first few pages, I didn't want to put the book down. There were several twists in the book that I didn't see coming. Each chapter has you constantly guessing about what will happen next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing and Liv Constantine for this advanced reader copy for an honest review.

A few years after book #1, Daphne and Amber are back in each other's lives when Jackson is released from prison. Daphne had moved far away and started a new life with her daughters, now being free of Jackson. Amber is still working on climbing the elite social ladder she has always wanted, while "raising" her son Jax. Amber's previous lives are brought to the present when she is outed by Daisy Ann, her last husband's daughter, in the middle of an exclusive event.

Amber is still hustling, Jackson is hellbent for control, Daphne is trying to survive and Daisy Ann wants revenge. All have their own motives and the reader is swept up in it all. I recommend reading "The First Shot", the novella prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish for backstory on Amber and Daisy Ann. I finished this book in a few sittings because it kept me enthralled needing to know what is going to happen next!

3.5 ⭐️ I was SO excited to read this because the original book is one of my favorite books of all time!! You HAVE to read the prequel “The First Shot” for this book to make sense.

This book was a complete cat and mouse chase from all characters, each scheming each other and trying to outdo the other.

I did appreciate how all of the storylines came together in the end, but I was slightly disappointment. My jaw didn’t drop the way it did with Last Mrs. Parrish although I was caught off guard with some things.

I don’t really understand why the book is called “The Next Mrs. Parrish” when there really isn’t a “Next” woman… if anything this book was taking the prequel and original and letting the reader know what happened after. If anything I would have called it “The Last OF Mrs. Parrish”

Overall I’m glad I read it and was able to close the Mrs. Parrish story but I wouldn’t say it was better.

The Last Mrs. Parrish was one of the reads that got me through the pandemic; the twists and turns were all I could think about, even when I didn’t have the book in front of me! When I saw that Liv Constantine (the pen name for sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine) came out with a sequel, I had to get my hands on it. The book is set to come out June 18 and I can’t wait for friends and family to read it, too.

Daphne is the first Mrs. Parrish. She’s Jackson Parrish’s first wife and mother of his two daughters, Tallulah and Bella. In the first book, we learn how terrible he really is (he lies, cheats, manipulates, and abuses everyone in his path—his children included!) and it, unfortunately, doesn’t stop there. After getting Amber—a lying, conniving mistress who weaved her way into Jackson’s life—pregnant, he marries her and Daphne goes far, far away from their old life in Connecticut and starts fresh in California with her mother. Just when she thought she was safe from his wrath across the country (and with Jackson being behind bars and all…), he came back into her life through her daughter, Tallulah, who desperately wanted to spend the summer with her father. Daphne, being the great mother that she is, rents a house near Jackson and Amber’s home (aka their old house) and trouble ensues. The only question that rang through my head throughout the novel was: “What will Daphne do to ensure her daughters safety?”

All the while, Amber is dealing with her own life unraveling. She’s trying to pull one over on Jackson and get the heck away from him, but her past is catching up with her. Namely, in the form of Daisy Ann, who’s father Amber conned, married, and then killed for his fortune. (Be sure to read The First Shot, the prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, to really get the most out of this storyline!) With the help of a private investigator, she’s hunting Amber down to bring her to justice, while Amber is seeking her out just the same. “Will it end in a showdown?” was another thought I had during the Amber/Daisy Ann chapters.

All in all, I thought the story was great. It fell a bit flat during the middle portion but ramped back up again during the ending. I didn’t want to put it down! Thanks so much to NetGalley, Liv Constantine, and Bantam Imprint for the advanced readers copy of this book and the opportunity to share my thoughts.

I read The Last Mrs. Parrish in July of 2020, and it is still one of my all time favorite thrillers to date! You could imagine my excitement when I saw a sequel was in the works! The Next Mrs. Parrish was quite the roller coaster ride, and it definitely lived up to my expectations! There was no shortage of drama throughout this story; there were plenty of twists and turns, some were a little ridiculous, but I ate it up! I'm also so happy with how things ended for Daphne and her girls.

The First Shot is the novella prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish that was released between the two novels. It was just as bing-able snd fast paced! I HIGHLY recommend reading this quick novella before reading the sequel.

There’s another story to tell in the Mrs. Parrish series as Liv Constantine has reunited Daphne and Amber Parrish in the exciting sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish (2017) in The Next Mrs. Parrish coming out June 18.

Daphne is Jackson Parrish’s first wife and mother of his two daughters. He is a scoundrel of a husband. Amber Patterson Parrish was Jackson’s mistress, and the mother of his son. Daphne divorced Jackson and moved to California from Connecticut. Jackson has been in jail serving a term for tax evasion.

Amber has enjoyed living in the 35-room estate with her son Jax and spending money, lots of money. That is about to come to an end as Jackson is getting out of jail, while one of Amber’s schemes from the past is catching up with her.

When one of Daphne’s daughters runs away from home in an attempt to visit her father, Daphne gives in and arranges for a summer vacation in Connecticut. Swearing he is a changed man, Jackson wants to divorce Amber and win Daphne back. Daphne knows he will never change, and she has moved on.

How will Daphne deal with Jackson threatening to take her daughters away? Will she bend to his will? How likely is Amber’s getaway with Jackson’s hidden property going to turn out?

This unputdownable thriller moves quickly, and the twists are shocking, just what readers expect from these authors. Liv Constantine is the pen name for Lynne and Valerie Constantine who spend hours plotting their novels using Facebook and email as they live three states apart.

My review will be posted on Goodreads starting April 10, 2024.

I would like to thank Bantam, an imprint of Random House, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in return for an objective review.

The Last Mrs Parrish is one of the books that got me into reading and I was so excited for the sequel. Unfortunately, this just fell flat for me. The ending was good, but the build up was meh.

This is a twisted read! Had me from the first page to the last. Loved the characters, the good nd the evil! They play well off each other. You either love them or hate them. Great storyline. I was given an advanced reader copy of this well written book by NetGalley and I am freely sharing my review.

The Next Mrs. Parrish
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thought “The Last Mrs. Parrish” ended really well and closed it off. So, I was a little surprised when I heard of this second book and if I’m being honest, nervous if it could hold a candle to the first one. But let me tell you, the way they write this storyline and characters will blow you away. The intensity in which she writes Jackson Parrish’s manipulative, cruel and spiteful nature is something else. You really don’t know who to trust/believe through out the whole book but the end gives you the answers and closure you need.

Thank you NetGalley, Liv Constantine and Bantam Imprint for the advanced readers copy of this book and the opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions.

Wow! I absolutely loved The Next Mrs Parrish! Although you can read it as a stand-alone I highly recommend you first read The Last Mrs Parrish. It’s not often you enjoy a sequel as much or more than the prequel but this book did it for me. The writing did not disappoint- every chapter ended with a cliffhanger that made you want to keep reading. The story of Jackson, Daphne and Amber come full circle in the most gripping way with the new character, Daisy Ann, playing an important role! Thank you Liv Constantine and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book before its debut! It’s a 5⭐️ for me!
