This did not pull me in like a thriller should. Too slow. I also didn't like the writing. Not much more to say unfortunately.

Thank you Random House Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC.

Amber, Jackson and Daphne are back!

Jackson is in jail and Amber is running out of money. She finds Jackson’s secret hidden in his boat - diamonds.

Amber comes across her past when she has a run in with Daisy Ann, her dead ex-husbands daughter.

Daphne is coming back to California after Tallulah runs away to go see her father.

Jackson is released from jail, Amber is trying to escape her past, and Daphne is in the crossfire.
Amber is using Jackson to take revenge on Daisy Ann and Jackson is using Amber to get back at Daphne for taking his daughters. They’re both even more conniving and manipulative than the 1st book.

A lot of action, thrill, and secrets throughout the book. Could I have lived without this sequel? Yes, but it was still a great, quick read. I like the authors writing style and all of the plot twists. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, you get thrown for a loop. The ending was wrapped up nicely and truly “what goes around, comes around.”

What a fun and entertaining sequel to an already amazing book! Was it needed? Probably not. Did I absolutely enjoy every second of it? Yup!

This is the 2nd Mrs. Parrish book by Liv Constantine. BOTH books are phenomenal. Daphne and her daughters go through the madness of controlling Jackson once again. I felt all of the emotions and stayed up late into the night to finish this wonderful book. Enjoy the ride.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC. Please continue with these characters Liv - they are so fun and twisted.

The second book in this series put Daphne back under Jackson’s control and it was a little intense for me at times! Lots of controlling, infuriating behaviors! Amber continued in her conniving role. I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first, but thought it was well-written.

I received an early copy from Netgalley, but all opinions are my own.

A thrilling sequel to The Last Mrs Parrish. This book will keep you wanting more of the twisted family entanglements of Amber, Daphne, and Jackson. Is it as good as the original..,,no. But is it a must read….yes! You get more backstory and what the future holds for each character. Thank you Net Galley and authors for the ARC. Hope everyone enjoys come June 2024

I didn’t think there was a chance this book would be as good as The Last Mrs. Parrish…boy was I wrong. In my opinion it was even better!!! The stories of Daphne and Amber continue with some crazy twists. Do not miss this one! Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this title.

I wasn’t too sure about the first 70%. It had gone the way I had predicted. But the last 30% was a pleasant surprise! Enjoyed the twists and turns.


Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!

I was excited to read The Next Mrs Parrish and it lived up to its hype. It was a quick read that kept me on the edge of my seat as I read about Daphne, Amber, and Daisy Anne. The characters were not very likeable, but I found myself wanting to keep reading to find out what happened next. Thank you netgalley for the ARC!

The Last Mrs. Parrish might be my favorite thriller. It's definitely what got me into reading this genre.
I thought following it up was a tall order, but The Next Mrs. Parrish was a solid read.
It took a bit to see where things were headed, but it was an absolute crazy ride once they got there.
Good balance of twists. Heavy dose of sociopath behavior. If you liked the first I definitely recommend giving this one a shot.

This was a good follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. I read it in a weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the various twists and turns. I think fans of the first novel will be pleased with this second one. I enjoyed the addition of Daisy Ann as a character and felt like her story added depth that we would have otherwise lacked. I was not prepared to have Jackson walk through the door after Daphne arrived in Texas and was happy to find out that Daisy Ann was not going to be swindled out of her company.

There were a few plot points that bothered me. If Amber was arrested for murder, there is no way that she would be out on bail at the end of the book. Especially if the authorities had video evidence of her on the trail cam. I thought this was a cheap shot at leaving readers wondering what happens to Amber. It would have felt more fulfilling to know that she spent the rest of her life in prison. We also didn't really get any closure on what will happen with the shares of Daisy Anne's company that Amber legally purchased. Does Amber still have a stake in the company? There were just a few loose ends that I would have liked to see wrapped up a little better.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was so excited to get my hands on an advanced copy of this book! I loved it just as much as the first in the series! It was so much fun to spend time with these characters again and be taken on a twisty, turny ride. I read this book so fast because I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next. This sequel did justice to the original, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish. I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

The Last Mrs. Parrish was a thrill ride and it was hard to imagine a better follow up, but THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH has done it. This was a tension filled story with twists and turns, multiple (but distinct) POVs and a satisfying ending for all. Truly can’t overstate what a delight it is to read a Liv Constantine book, they have never failed to deliver a hit!

Thanks to NetGalley and Bantam Books for the opportunity to read and review THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH.

The Last Mrs Parrish is one of my favorite reads ever so when I saw the amazing duo was coming out with a sequel , I knew I needed to read it asap!
The development of the story is exactly what we needed and as usual, Liv Constantine didn’t disappoint! The plot was spot on, the narrators were great, and the pacing was perfect.

I recommend reading The Last Mrs Parrish AND their short story The First Shot before reading this one! It will help everything make more sense.

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley, and Liv Constantine for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️when you can’t put the book down and stay up til 2am to finish, you know you have a good book!! The last Mrs. Parrish was one 1st books i’ve finished years ago and the story has stayed with me, it was my first intro to domestic thrillers and i never looked back since! So excited when i got approved for an ARC copy of this one, i really wanted to know what happened next!
This novel did not disappoint! It was as twisty and as anger inducing as i thought it would be! Pace, plot and ending was very satisfying!

Jackson Parrish is out of prison and he’s willing to do anything to get Daphne and his girls back. Amber (Jackson’s current wife) wants to be rich and she’s willing to do anything to get money. Daphne (Jackson’s ex wife) is happy with her girls in her new town and she is willing to do anything to protect them. This book is full of lies, cheating, corruption, manipulation, and murder. The question is who is cheating who and who will win in the end.

Once again Liv Constantine grasps your attention immediately. Amber and Jackson are the most horrible people and are back to get revenge on Daphne. The book starts with Jackson in prison and Amber scheming to get away from him and steal his money for good. But in true Jackson fashion he has many tricks up his sleeves. Daphne continues to be gullible and falls once again as Jackson"s prey. Amber continues to steal and manipulate, but she has finally met her match in Daisy Ann. The twists and turns in this book are fast! The ending is so satisfying and that's all I will say without spoiling. This is a sequel you don't want to miss.

I was held prisoner much like Daphne in The Last Mrs. Parrish until I finished this book. Amber is bacccccck and she is as vile as ever! 👹

Very rarely does a sequel live up to the original but Liv knocked it out of the park with The Next Mrs. Parrish.

This book has it all:
DECEIT
GREED
SOCIOPATH
CON ARTIST
DEVIOUS
MANIPULATION
REVENGE

Truly, a twisty read. Buy it, borrow it, or steal it, but by all means, read it!

Having loved The Last Mrs Parrish, I was unfortunately let down by this sequel which delivered three rather lacklustre POVs, with superficial, surface-level narratives.

1 POV was in first person while the other two were in third, and it was not clear until later in the book how some of these characters were connected. This book did a decent job of retaining the key threads of its predecessor (though not hard to do, given the one-dimensionality of some of the characters). Although it had been a while since I'd been in the world of Bishops Harbor, I didn't feel like I'd forgotten much once these characters were reactivated in my mind.

Overall we didn't need more from these characters: they spent the whole book repeating old habits, displaying little to no character development. So many of the villainous lines from Jackson felt forced, cringey and unrealistic, which punctured the realism for me. I think the first book is great as a standalone, and while The Next Mrs Parrish was not BAD per se, I felt myself waiting for it to be over.

Thank you to Netgalley for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW ↡
after loving the first two books in the MRS. PARRISH series, i was over the moon to be selected to review this arc! before reading this book, i can’t stress enough how important it is to read or listen to the sequel of THE LAST MRS. PARRISH, titled THE LAST SHOT. this story will come together and make significantly more sense if you’ve read the first two books before starting this one!

with that being said, this book was giving me constant whiplash with the plot twists and turns. i enjoyed the multiple POVs and the introduction of daisy ann’s character. the last 30% of the book flew by. every time i thought the story was wrapping up, i would be surprised with another cliff hanger. i think the writing could be advanced slightly - there were some repetitive details that i felt were unnecessary to the story development. otherwise, i loved the creativity and fun that the author had with this book. i was entertained until the last sentence! (no seriously, LOVED the last sentence and how it ended.)
