The Next Mrs. Parrish is a twisty page turning tale of an evil couple, Jackson and Amber Parrish, who finally meet karma. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I will say everyone needs a friend like Meredith and fierce determination like Daisy Ann and Daphne; the ending will make you say "wow!" You also don’t need to read the Last Mrs. Parrish before reading this one-Liv Constantine (the amazing duo) does a fantastic job of narrating to bring the reader right up to speed! Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Rating: 4.5 stars

First I would like to say don’t forget to read the novella The First Shot and then come back here. Now that that’s out of the way I devoured this book. As soon as I finished the first book I went searching for the second and thankfully was given a chance by Netgalley to receive an ARC. This second installment to the series gives us 3 povs instead of two like the first and each one pulls you in. The twists and turns this book takes are great and I didn’t see the ending coming. I 1000% recommend this book and hope you all enjoy it just as much as I did!

I was thrilled to receive approval to review this ARC. Initially apprehensive due to the gap since I last read "The Last Mrs. Parrish" and "The First Shot," I highly recommend not skipping the latter.

In this installment, Jackson, Daphne, and Amber reappear. Jackson, recently released from prison, grapples with conflicting emotions towards his ex, Daphne, and his current wife, Amber, while facing financial struggles. Despite being married to Amber, tensions abound. Amber senses the impending end of their relationship but hopes for financial security. Daphne, Jackson's true love, desires to distance herself but is drawn back when their daughter seeks to reconnect with her father. Daphne reluctantly agrees to supervised visits.

Enter an old acquaintance of Amber's, eager to cause trouble.

This book is a rollercoaster of twists and turns, keeping me engrossed from start to finish.

Oh wow what a ride! Daphne and Ambers story continues with one heck of a ride. A new twist with diamonds and jewelry and murder and more deception. What more can you ask for in a psychological thriller. It was fun seeing who could outsmart who and what twists came totally unexpected. Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

AMAZING follow up novel!!! I want to devour everything this dynamic duo writes! The first book in this series was everything I love about thrillers and I really wasn't sure it could be matched. They set the bar and then jumped way over it! If you haven't read the prequel, do it now. And snag this one immediately on release day! You won't regret it!!

This wasn’t so much a thriller as it was like a poorly written lifetime movie script? I think the thing that did not work for me is that 85% of the characters are terrible, but they’re also not charming and to me thrillers about terrible people are only fun to read if the characters are charismatic and you’re rooting for them, kind of despite them being terrible! This book did not have that. If it wasn’t so short and incredibly simple in its writing style, I don’t think I would’ve finished it.

What a treat to get a second installment to the Parrish story! I really enjoyed being back in the world of wealth and deception and devoured The Next Mrs. Parrish quickly. An overall reading win for me and it definitely satisfied a craving I didn't realize I had.

While I loved the ride, Daphne's story and her reactions and interactions were nothing short of maddening. Throughout the entire book. The kind of level of frustrating you experience when watching a cliche slasher film when the girls go off on their own. I may have literally and audibly yelled at her while reading.

Also, the addition of Daisy Ann was kind of random -- it almost made the Parrish world feel a bit TOO big and all over the place between all the locations, schemes, and sub-plots. Also random... those gemstones.

I really did enjoy the book and felt the full range of motions, literally and viscerally. Thank to you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Bantam for the opportunity to review this ARC!

Excellent!!! Wow, it has been a long time since I read the first Mrs. Parrish and I was definitely read to read this one! Thank you NetGalley for letting me have an advanced copy of this novel... it was AMAZING. The ending really threw me for a loop, I was not expecting it. I enjoyed the different characters that Liv Constantine brought in to make the story flow and bring in an air of suspense. Wonderful read!

Wow, I didn’t know I needed a second book to the (now) series, but boy am I glad. While most of the book made me so angry. (Read it you will see) the conclusion is very satisfying. The book is very well written, and you just don’t see so much of it coming. I usually guess what’s going g to happen, this one fooled me and that’s. Gret book in my mind. If you read the first book, this one will be great, if you didn’t, red that one first, it’s equally amazing.

I was happily surprised to see that the duo who are Liv Constantine wrote a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish and boy, it did not disappoint! Full of characters you will love (and love to hate), plot twists and luxury locations this will for sure be another must-read and book of the summer. I have already started recommending widely and there are many who will be eagerly anticipating the June 18, 2024 publication date!

The duo that is Liv Constantine have done it again and wow! Although a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, this story takes on a life of its own, as told by three differing narrators (which I loved). This highly addictive book will surely be the thriller of the summer.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy.

I couldn't get into this, unlike her previous book. Jackson just gives me the ICK! I love the author but this and Senator's Wife were both let downs for me.

I really enjoyed this book. Eventually all your schemes will catch up to you. People you think are weak may not be as weak as you think they are.
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. It did not disappoint.

I have loved every single book by Liv Constantine. The Last Mrs. Parrish I devoured, so when I got an advanced copy of this book I was ecstatic.

Maybe my tastes have changed a bit since the first book came out, but I really struggled with this one. It took me almost a week to finish and that is very slow for me. I had to make myself pick up this book.

It was well written just like all of her other books, there was suspense and twists but it lacked the fast paced, on the edge of your seat like the first one.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy!

Liv Constantine delivers a seamless and decadent follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish with this one. Packed full of a thrilling web of deceit, mind games, and who thinks they are one step ahead, this book will definitely have you staying up late to read more,
And remember! Before you read The Next Mrs. Parrish make sure you've read The First Shot, which is a novella prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish.
The storyline between the previous two books all seamlessly comes together with guest characters I was so happy to see return. I was impatiently waiting until June for the release of this and I cannot express enough how thrilled I was to receive an ARC, and for it to have been as amazing as it was!

The Next Mrs. Parrish delivered more than I expected! Daphne, Amber and Jackson are back. There's blackmail all through the book and it kept me on my toes and up way later than I intended, Please read the first book "The last Mrs. Parrish" before reading this if you haven't already. If I didn't, this would have been extremely hard to follow.

I'm sure some will enjoy this sequel to "The Last Mrs. Parrish" but I nearly DNF this one. I did end up pushing through to the end, but the forced twists and completely flat characters ensured that this doesn't hold up to the first book. Truthfully, I just didn't buy the premise - Liv Constantine did Daphne dirty in this one.

At first I thought it was too far fetched that Daphne would agree to return to Bishops Harbor, but if she hadn’t, then I suppose there wouldn’t be a new story! After I got over her return, I was able to fully engage in the plot, and I was hooked! I enjoyed how the chapters bounced back and forth between the different storylines and how they all merged together in the end with twist after unbelievable twist that made the book impossible to put down. I found it to be incredibly well written and engaging.

Thank you to Net Galley for this digital ARC. I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was thrilled to be approved for this ARC. If you liked The Last Mrs. Parrish you won’t be disappointed by The Next Mrs. Parrish!

I love Constantine's books and although this one was a follow-up to the previous, I had to take notes as there are so many crazy (and sometimes convoluted) plot lines that I took notes as I often do when there are many relationships and people in "disguise" when they need to hide an identity. This one focusses on three women: Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann as they fight over husbands, money, children, and...well, whatever they want that someone else has! Believe me, you do not want any part of this family--but reading about them is a hoot!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
