This was a great follow up to the first book. I was on the edge of my seat several times wondering if Daphne was going to get wronged again by the evil Amber and Jackson. What a great story and very well written. I didn't think I could like Amber and Jackson any less but this book made me despise them. At one point I had to put the book down and walk away because I was so nervous for Daphne. Very well done and a great ending to this story!

The sequel I didn’t know I needed. Liv Constantine never fails to disappoint and The Next Mrs. Parrish was no exception. Daphne, Amber and Jackson are back. Amber and Jackson are more evil than ever. A new player is introduced and looking for revenge. Highly enjoyable and a total roller coaster. Don’t miss this.

Wow! Reading this book made me stressed!! The author makes such great villians in Jackson and Amber. I almost like this book better than the first. She does a great job weaving together a thriller that has you on the edge of your seat and, as mentioned, stressed! If you like the first one, you will love the second! Highly recommend!

The Last Mrs. Parrish is one of my top 5 books of all time so I was so excited to read the follow-up to that book. This one was not quite as good as the last but still had some great twists and turns. I will read any book that Liv Constantine writes and would recommend this!

3.5 stars, rounded up.

I was super excited when I saw this sequel was coming! it’s been awhile since I read the first one and was worried about remembering things, but this worked fine as a stand-alone book.

Amber and Jackson are married, have a son Jax, and are living the upper class life Amber always strived for. Jackson is finishing off his prison sentence for tax evasion when the story begins. Meanwhile, Jackson’s ex-wife Daphne, and their 2 children, are living across the country in California. For the sake of her daughters, Daphne agrees to a summer back in their old neck of the woods, so their daughters can spend some time with their father. After all, Jackson claims he’s a changed man.

I felt things started off a bit slow, but definitely picked up near the end. I feel like things were just a bit repetitive I think? there were a bunch of twists, which I always enjoy. even those I thought were repetitive though. definitely an entertaining story though, but I feel like sequels are rarely as good as the first!

I felt like I won the lottery when I was approved for an e-ARC of this book.

I re-read The Last Mrs. Parrish (5 stars even the 2nd time) before jumping in. The Next Mrs. Parrish was a fabulous follow-up with many surprising twists and turns, although maybe some things may have been a little too far-fetched. It was still definitely worth reading and I would recommend it.
Now I'm wondering if there will be another book in the series...

The Last Mrs. Parrish is one of my favorite books, so I was thrilled to be chosen to receive an advanced copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish. The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint, I didn't want it to end! So, SO good!!!
Jackson, Amber and Daphne are back. along with a new character, Daisy Ann. Their stories all weave together with so many unexpected twists. I highly recommend the book!

Publication date is June 18, 2024.,

I wondered how a follow up to this book would be - the Last Mrs. Parrish was what got me back heavily into reading years ago, so I was worried the bar may be too high. I was very happy with the weaving of story lines and elements, both new and old, in this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to finish it without seeming too wild of an idea (with the lifestyles of the rich and famous). Looking forward to future releases from Liz Constantine.

This book is. Her best . She combines revenge, redemption and her usual mix of characters who you love to hate . It reminds you of the Real Housewives show.

The latest installment in Amber Parrish's series does not disappoint. With its dark secrets, complicated web of lies, and well-developed characters. This book will keep you on edge until the very end. To fully appreciate the plot and understand the motivations of the characters, I recommend reading The First Shot novella prior to diving into this page turning sequel.

I probably should have reread the first book before diving into this one, because I couldn’t remember much, but there eventually was enough backstory that I figured out what was going on. There were a lot of chaotic chapters but I enjoyed the roller coaster of twists and turns and convoluted plot lines. Some things felt a little too convenient but it all made for a more entertaining story.

This was a good sequel!
I think you can read this as a stand alone book also, because there’s enough of last books story told in this book, to follow it.
Some of it was “riiiiiiiigh that’s really happening” moments but mostly it was just a good solid book!

This was another fantastic high society thriller from Liv Constantine!

This was a fantastic sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish! It started off a little slow building up background and giving reminders about what happened in the first book. Once the new character was introduced, the pace picked up and the story took off! I couldn’t stop reading needing to know how the new character was related to Daphne, Amber and Jackson’s stories. This book was filled with twists and turns right up until the last page.

Thank you to NetGalley, Liv Constantine and Random House for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This was definitely a compelling continuation of the first in the series. I enjoyed the quick paced, multi narrative style. I found some of the situations unbelievable but overall really liked the story.

Well….talk about another banger! I reread The Last Mrs. Parrish in preparation for this one. I had originally read it back when it first came out, and quite frankly, it’s still a 5 star for me. I absolutely cannot believe it, but I think The Next Mrs. Parrish is even better than the first! I kept thinking, just one more chapter, until eventually I just finished the book. I was enthralled and absolutely loved the new main character added to the crew. The wait was positively worth it for such a remarkable follow-up to such a phenomenon!

I absolutely enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish so I was very excited to read a sequel. Although it starts off rather slow, there is much background to build for any readers who had not read the first book. This one can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I will say that hving read the first book, I did tire of so many reminders of what had occurred. There's a new character introduced creating a story from three main points of view in addition to Jackson's. The book is full of twists in this cat and mouse thriller and the ending is definitely worth the wait.

I devoured this follow up to The Last Mrs Parrish. I was so fun to re-enter Daphne and Ambers world. I loved to hate Amber and see her try to ruin everything and everyone around her. Anyone who loved the first novel will love this follow up as well.

Lots of schemers scheming against each other and with each other. The new Mrs. Parrish is a schemer and she wasn't out of her marriage to Jackson. She think she finds to way to escape while he is in prison but he gets out early. Jackson is threatening the old Mrs. Parrish and it seems like the new Mrs. Parrish is in on it. Somehow a woman named Daisy is peripherally involved. Chaos that all makes sense in the end.
