I was so excited to see that there would be a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish (even more excited to be approved for an ARC!) and The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint.
Amber is back and I forgot just how evil she can be. She is married to the wealthy Jackson Parrish who she previously sunk her claws into by becoming pregnant with their son Jax. Jackson is in prison for tax fraud and Amber has concocted a plan to leave him, taking all of his money.
The original Mrs. Parrish (Daphne) is also back. She had previously removed her daughters from seeing Jackson after the turmoil he had put her through. This is the one part of the book that I was a little unsure of, that she would have willingly moved back Connecticut to let them see him in an attempt to make her daughter happy.
Daisy Anne also joins the mix of characters, having an unpleasant history with Amber and I really enjoyed her element to the story.
I thought the author did a fantastic job of weaving the stories together with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes sequels leave you with a lacking feeling, but this one wrapped things up and just had me wondering if there was a chance for another appearance of Amber in the future.
If you enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish, you definitely want to put The Next Mrs. Parrish on your TBR!
Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group and the authors for the ARC of this book in exchange for my thoughts. Publication date: June 18, 2024
Genre - General Fiction (Adult), Mystery & Thrillers

This book was as good as the first, maybe even better! There were some twists I didn’t expect and the revenge in this one was satisfying. Definitely a must read if you read the first book.

Prepare yourself for a wild ride! If you’ve enjoyed the saga of Amber and Daphne, you need to read the conclusion. Once again, the writing duo known as Liv Constantine has crafted a wicked tale, full of money, betrayal, and revenge. While it’s not fine literature, I dare you to stop reading before you know the resolution of this twisted tale.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, and I enjoyed this one too, but it took some time. I felt the book was a bit slow to get going, but once it picked up, I flew through the book. Hating Jackson and Amber continued to be easy as I read the book, and I truly sympathized with Daphne. It's definitely worth reading this book, but I did set my expectations that the book would be as good as the first, and I was a little let down.

I was so so thrilled to see a sequel to one of my favorite books from last year, The Last Mrs. Parish. This book surpassed any expectations I might have had, with excellent narrators, writing, and twists and turns! If you enjoyed the first book, or if you want to begin with this one, I highly recommend.

This was so good, I loved it .
The pacing is the perfect “just one more chapter” type pacing that keeps you reading for multiple rather than just one more. Every perspective shift ended on a cliffhanger, which made this very easy to binge read, speaking from experience as I did read this cover to cover.
The characters are so well rounded. You either love them or you hate them. When something would happen it would be sort of an “oh well of course this happened. Because it’s so and so.”
You will be on the edge of your seat reading this one, rooting for these characters, and will be extremely satisfied when you finish this and put it down.
Highly recommend you pick this one up!
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC💕

I want to start out by saying thank you to NatGalley and Random House Publishing for this ARC. The Next Mrs Parrish by Liv Constantine, is the follow up novel, The Last Mrs Parrish! Daphne, Amber and Jackson Parrish are back with another wild story! This sequel adds new players and more visits from someone's past. This book is a thrilling and engaging story that explores the complexities of relationships, loyalty, and deception.

Reviewed on goodreads but oh my god this book was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! The way she seamlessly introduced a whole new set of characters, the multiple cat and mouse games and twists and turns, and that ending no one will EVER see coming. I read through the night. Bravo Liv! And thank you NetGalley!

Listen! I am always ready to read a Liv Constantine book, and this one doesn't disappoint! I have read all of the other Mrs. Parrish books before this one, and this newest book is just as good, if not better.

Daphne has to navigate reuniting her daughters with er ex-husband Jackson after he returns from jail for tax evasion. Her children don't know how cruel he was to her, and the abuse that she suffered at his hand when they were married.

Jackson's new wife, Amber is trying to break free from him when she cashes in on a discovery of his that she helped herself to, only she lost her social status when her ex-husband's daughter Daisy Ann discovers she has remarried another rich man.

Sounds like I gave away a lot, but this is really only the tip of the iceberg!!

Thank you to #netgalley for this #arc

First of all, I can't believe I got my hands on this ARC since this is such an anticipated release. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the opportunity to read this early.

I love a great revenge story and The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint. I loved being able to follow up with these characters in this sequel and overall felt that this book was a great follow up from The Last Mrs. Parrish. The twists and turns in this book gave me the best sort of whiplash I could have asked for. I don't know how Liv Constantine can't weave such an intricate web and make it work the way she does! These characters are the definition of people you just love to hate. This sequel wrapped me up and I had to devour it whole until I could resume my daily life.

I rate this book 4 stars as I feel like there were just a couple of times in the book where it dragged on just a tiny bit. I would not let that scare you from reading this though because overall it was a great domestic thriller. I recommend you pick this up when it is released!

Sit back and enjoy the ride. Told by three women and the man that wronged two of them. Daphne plotting to get free of Jackson Daisy Ann trying to get back at Amber. Amber trying to get back at Daisy Ann and an equally devious, abusive Jackson. Who is gullible, who will succeed? Easy to read, a bit campy but lots of fun

I think my students will enjoy this one. A twisty entertaining tale of revenge and justice. This will open up discussions on what is the difference and how much you would do to accomplish either.

Daphne, Amber, and Jackson are back…. And given how much I disliked two of those three characters in The First Mrs. Parrish, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this one. However, while a sequel didn’t feel all together necessary, it ended up being an entertaining read!

This book picks up shortly after the first, with Jackson finishing his stint in prison for tax evasion while Daphne does her best to heal from years of abuse and Amber remorselessly lives her best life. When Daphne‘s oldest daughter runs away to reunite with Jackson, and their lives become intertwined once more. This kicks off endless schemes, betrayals, twists, and turns. We also get a fantastic new character in Daisy Ann, a strong and successful Texan woman, seeking revenge.

There’s a lot to like about this book, including a quick pace and a satisfying ending. In some places, the plot feels forced, relying on well-timed coincidences to wrap up loose ends, but if you can let that go and just be along for the ride, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the authors, and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC!

I thought that this book was really good! I wish I would have read the first book in the series to refresh my memory on characters and the overall plot, but enough was shared that I found myself immersed in their world again. I thought that the book was well paced, and the character storylines were so interesting. I was cheering so hard for Daphne and Daisy Ann. Looking forward to the third!! What a cliffhanger. Thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for the ARC!

Wow, WOW WOW!! I loved The Next Mrs. Parrish! It was so easy to jump back in with these characters and I HOPE there is a third book in the series. All the applause for Liv Constantine!

I have been a big fan of the Mrs. Parrish series and this one was just as exciting. Amber, Daphne, and Jackson are all back together again in a thrilling, twisty, turny novel that keeps you guessing and wondering "who do I trust" the entire time.

Justice is served… and it feels so good. I devoured “The Last Mrs. Parrish” so I truly couldn’t believe my luck when I scored an advanced reader copy of the sequel, publishing this June.

I was immediately sucked right back into Jackson and Amber’s twisted deceit and games. You’ll find yourself searching for the truth and for Daphne and Daisy Ann to come out unscathed, but don’t be surprised if you get tricked a time or two by who’s tricking who. I definitely gasped more than once at a chapter ending.
My only regret about reading this one is that I couldn’t read it fast enough.

Definitely read the prequel short story, “The First Shot” before June if you haven’t and prepare to excitedly await “The Next Mrs. Parrish”’s pub date.

Liv Constantine is one of my favorite authors. When I got this ARC of The Next Mrs. Parrish, I decided to go back and re-read The Last Mrs. Parish to refresh my memory. I am glad that I did since I had forgotten a lot of the first book and was able to enjoy it before I delved into the sequel, which was just as good as the original. It pulled me in from the first page and i was not disappointed!

Wow. Just wow. Everytime you think there couldn't be another twist, they just keep coming anf coming and coming. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, because it did get a little tiring after awhile. But a great ending to this sequel.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

I loved the Last Mrs. Parrish so I was super excited to read this one! Great book- easy read filled with great characters you love to hate! Many twists that I never suspected- it definitely kept me on my toes and I could not stop reading. Quite a rollercoaster ride this book was! For fans of the first book-you won’t be disappointed with this sequel! Thank you to NetGalley, Liv Constantine and Random House Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. I hope there is another book that will follow these characters! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
