I was so excited to see that a sequel was released- thank you for approving me for an advanced copy! The story picks up about two years after we last left off- Jax Jr. is has grown into a sweet toddler while Mr. And Mrs. Parrish are living not so happily ever after. The vendettas live on and the plots for revenge become even more cruel. The cross country tale proves that the past will always catch up to you.

I absolutely adored "The Last Mrs. Parrish," so naturally, I couldn't wait to get my hands on "The Next Mrs. Parrish," and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

Returning to the world of Daphne and Amber Parrish was like catching up with old friends, albeit ones with a flair for drama and deception. The story dives right back into the action, with twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages.

The plot is fast-paced and full of surprises. Just when you think you know where it's headed, Liv Constantine throws in another curveball that leaves you gasping. From old threats resurfacing to a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, the suspense never lets up.

What really makes this book shine, though, is the characters. Amber's transformation from a nobody to a socialite is captivating, and Daphne's strength and vulnerability make her a compelling protagonist. Their uneasy alliance against a common enemy adds an extra layer of tension to an already gripping story.

And speaking of enemies, the villain in this book is seriously chilling. As secrets from Amber's past come back to haunt her, the tension ramps up to an electrifying climax that had me on the edge of my seat.

In short, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a thrilling ride from start to finish. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and suspenseful storytelling, this book is a must-read. Hats off to Liv Constantine for another fantastic addition to the Parrish series! Thank you to NetGalley for providing me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I have been waiting and waiting on this book for what seems like forever. It was well worth the wait. I think reading the prequel about Amber really helped because the daughter makes an appearance in this book and it gave it the background it needed. Amber really is just not a good person, just when at the end, you think she has a found a way out. We realize she hasn't. Sweet revenge.

The return of an even more deceitful and conniving Amber along with a more courageous Daphne is a thrilling read. The former and current Mrs. Parrish come alive with twists and turns. Liv Constantine has done it again with some new characters along with returning ones.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

I was so excited when I saw this book was coming out! I was even more excited to get an advanced copy. The Next Mrs. Parrish totally lived up to my expectations. There were so many twists I almost couldn't keep up. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going there was a plot twist and I just got deeper and deeper.

The one thing I didn't like as much was that the ending felt very rushed. With how much went on in the rest of the book I felt like the end was just there and was a little too convenient. Otherwise it was a great thriller and I really enjoyed it.

Great follow up to the last Mrs parish. Kept me invested from page to page and wanting to know what was going to happen each chapter.

The Next Mrs. Parrish was a roller coaster of a book. Told from alternate viewpoints where you weren’t sure how the stories would come together. All the characters finally came together and you didn’t know who to trust or believe. A solid 4 stars with a very solid ending.

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.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this novel through NetGalley. I really enjoyed this sequel! It was much needed and allowed closure and justice to be served to the characters that needed it. It was fast faced and full of suspense. My only complaint is that the new character Daisy Ann seemed to be entered into the story without a proper introduction. I felt like the first few chapters from her prospective were hard to follow because we still had no idea who she was and how she fit into the story. It was still well worth the read and enjoyable. Thanks for the early release!

My first book by the duo Liv Constantine was The Last. Mrs. Parrish. After that one I was hooked. When I was given the opportunity to read The Next Mrs. Parrish ahead of its June 18th release date I immediately dove in.

If you haven’t read the prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, The First Shot- do so before picking up the newest book in this story. It gives the background you need on how Amber became “Amber” & there are characters that end up with strong storylines in The Next Mrs. Parrish.

The Next Mrs. Parrish reunites us with Daphne, Amber & Jackson as well as Daisy-Ann (from The First Shot) and gives us the POV from each of the women. I love stories through the eyes of different characters & this was no exception. Without giving away any spoilers the writing was excellent (as expected from this duo) and Jackson had me so infuriated at times I could have screamed. The way the story ends I expect this to be our final time in Bishop Heights but was pleased with the outcome & all loose ends tied up.

This book had me on edge most of the time reading & will absolutely be a must read this summer. A sequel to a book as strong as The Next Mrs. Parrish had big shoes to fill but absolutely succeeded. Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing-Ballentine & Liv Constantine for the opportunity to read The Next Mrs. Parrish ahead of its June 18th publish date!

Anyone who knows me knows that Liv Constantine is one of my absolute favorites so having the opportunity to read this ARC is on my list of top favorite reading moments.

That being said, The Next Mrs. Parrish is without a doubt going to be THE read of the summer. I absolutely DEVOURED this book and was at the edge of my seat from start to finish. There was so much going on however everything flowed so smoothly and seamlessly. The twists kept me on my toes, the deception came from ALL angles and the anxiety was real for me!

I also highly recommend reading the short story (prequel) entitled The First Shot before diving into this one! The Next Mrs. Parrish will be available on June 18th!

THANK YOU to Netgalley, Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and Liv Constantine for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Oh boy, they did it again. Make sure you read the prequel prior to this one or you may be a bit confused.

I thought it was fun, had plenty of twists and turns and was a quick entertaining read. At this point it is probably time to retire the Mrs. Parrish saga but, I do think it was wrapped up nicely and if you have read anything by Liv Constantine then you have to add this to your TBR.

First off, I loved the original. I was really excited for the is but to me the pace is off and there is a lot going on. There are so many characters and storylines introduced and though it wraps up nicely it was hard to get thru.

I loved book one and this one started strong. I would say that the way it went forward felt like a soap opera and was a bit much for me.

I felt this book was better than the first. It seemed to keep me more engaged and I read it much faster. I can’t say I have ever loathed a character more than Amber but Jackson is right up there with her. She is truly an awful person! It’s packed full of drama and will keep you on your toes throughout. Overall, great read!

I almost threw the Last Mrs. Parrish away after I finished the 1st section with Daphne. I was told to go on and finish the book. I was so glad I did. Then I saw this one, the sequel. I couldn’t wait to read it.
While I don’t think it was as great as the first one, I still loved it! It did not disappoint! There were a lot of twists and turns and you weren’t sure what was going on all of the time.
Loved the ending!
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Jackson and Amber were made for each other, their relationship is based on manipulation and deceit so it's no surprise when they agree to help each other. Jackson wants to win Daphne back. Amber wants to get back at Daisy Ann, a new character that plays a significant role. This was a quick and fun read, the storyline isn't the most complicated. Even though this is a sequel, I thought this could be read as a standalone. However, to really see what a sociopath Jackson is, read The Last Mrs Parrish first.

The Last Mrs. Parrish marked my initiation into the world of thrillers back in 2020, reigniting my passion for reading. So, naturally, when I received approval for this ARC, I was over the moon!

Returning to the lives of Amber, Daphne, and Jackson was a fun experience, witnessing how their narrative unfolded further.

Having read The First Shot, the prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, I felt well-prepared with the backstory of Amber and Daisy Ann. However, this did make the initial sections of this book feel somewhat repetitive.

While the twists in The Next Mrs. Parrish were satisfying, they leaned more towards drama than true thriller elements. Despite lacking in shocking revelations, the story remained engaging, keeping me invested in its outcome.

Overall, revisiting this world and its characters was a pleasurable journey, and the conclusion tied everything up neatly.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing an advanced copy of this book!

This is a fun continuation of the original--much more inventive than I expected, actually. Lots of plot twists and unexpected connections. If you enjoyed the first one, you might enjoy this even more. Perfect beach read--almost a bummer I wasn't in a chair at the water's edge LOL. Sometimes the dialogue or the character shifts seem a little discordant (SPOILER: who knew how easy it would be to convert the teenage daughter LOL), but it reminds me of enjoying something like Dallas or Dynasty back in the day. It's a little over-the-top, a little camp, and that is what you are here for. Enjoy! Thank you NetGalley and Bantam/Random House for the ARC and the opportunity to share my review.
