This book was full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. At times, it was hard to keep up with some of the intertwining story lines.

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. (Liv Constantine is the pen name of sisters Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine) This is the sequel to The Last Mrs Parrish which I read a few years ago. This one has a June release date so if you haven’t read the first book you have time. There are several very unlikeable characters in this one.. I mean, they are terrible people!! BUT this is a must-read! Thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and canceling all plans so you can finish in one sitting!!! 5 stars! #netgalley

Jackson, Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann are BACK and better than ever. Jackson has spent the last couple of years in prison. Amber is running out of money and wants to move on to richer pastures. Jackson is adament that money will come and to NOT sell the yacht. Amber, being the cunning woman that she is, goes to the yacht and finds over 20 million dollars in rare diamonds .Jackson finds out and is determined to get his money back along with Daphne and his two daughters who have escaped to California. Jackson tricks his daughters and Daphne to come visit and the manipulation and cycle of abuse begins all over again. Daphne can't take it, Amber wants out, and Jackson wants to stop them both.

Daisy Ann is the newer character in the book. Amber was married to her father (yes a gold digger moment) and Daisy is convinced that Amber killed her father. Amber finds herself in Daisy's social circle where she is breifly embarrased by Daisy Ann at a jewlery gala. From that moment on, Amber knew she was going to RUIN Daisy's life....but Amber should not underestimate Daisy and the rage she feels about her fathers death.

The second that I saw that Constantine was coming out with another Parrish, I IMMEDIATELY requested it on NetGalley. The second I got the approval, you would have thought I won the lottery. I could not wait to immerse myself in Daphne and Amber's antics (and hopefully avoid Jackson's sociopathic behavior). The sequel did not disappoint. Now, I don't think that it beat the first, but it came damn close. As I read, I felt myself constantly thinking, "Who is going to backstab who next" which is always a fun way to read a thriller. Also, who doesn't love a revenge, redemption, and w0men working together story? Now, I wasn't crazy about the new character and her story line. I felt that I wanted more of Amber and Daphne, but it really didn't take away from the story itself.

Read this immediately! Thank you to Bantam and Penguin Random House for the ARC!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.
This was twisty and entertaining, but I the characters hard to like. I was a huge fan of the first book, so I had high expectations. The many POV were fun but at times there was too much going on for me. I did like book one better 😬 but this kept my attention.

This is the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish which was an excellent book. This one may be even better. Before reading this, you absolutely need to read The First Shot which is the novella prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. That goes into Amber’s backstory and if you don’t know it this book is not glong to make as much sense to you. Trust me that you will want to read that story first to enjoy this book!

After the events of The Last Mrs. Parrish, Daphne is living in California with her girls and Amber remains in Bishop’s Harbor with her son while Jackson is prison. When he gets released, one of Jackson and Daphne’s daughters tries to run away to get back to Jackson. Daphne realizes she has no choice but to return to Connecticut to allow her girls to have a relationship with their father. Meanwhile someone from Amber’s past has tracked her down and is out for revenge.

This book was an incredibly well done follow up. It’s hard to find a book with so many characters that evoke such intense emotions when reading. I actually was having physical responses to some of the scenes. At one point I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I couldn’t have asked for a more satisfying follow up to an already excellent book.

Thank you to the authors, NetGalley, and Random House Publishing for the advance reader copy. This is my honest review. 5⭐️ publication date June 18, 2024.

Well, I didn’t expect a sequel for this story but here we go again on a rollercoaster of lies, deceit and manipulation thanks to our favorite terrible people, Amber and Jackson Parrish. After Daphne finally got away, I was shocked to see her go back to Connecticut for another round, but a mother will do anything for her children. Daisy Ann was a fun addition to the characters and surprised me in the end. This one had me turning the pages faster than the first one!

If you enjoyed The Next Mrs Parrish, then don’t hesitate to pick up this sequel, The Last Mrs Parrish on 6/18/24. I didn’t read the prequel called Last Shot.

A big thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Ballantine for allowing me access to digital ARC of this book.

Wowwwwwww!!!!!!!This book is the sequel I’ve been waiting for. Now do I get another book after this? I would love to see how the kids are now doing with mom and dad both gone . 10/10 stars for sure. This author is an automatic read for sure for any book they write

The Last Mrs Parrish has always been one of my favorite thrillers! So, getting approved for the ARC of the second in the series was such a fun surprise.

It’s been years since I read the first one but it was easy to pick up right where we left off with Daphne, Amber, and Jackson. However, I would recommend reading The First Shot. A quick little pre-series novella that paints a picture of Amber and where she came from, learning all about Daisy Ann. Picking that one up first before diving into this second book was a game changer.

There were twists & turns, and even though they didn’t shock me as much as the first book, I still had so much fun hate reading about Amber and Jackson.

Daphne, Amber, and Jackson are back for another installment of craziness! Jackson is in jail (but not for long), and Amber is dreading his release. Jackson is finally out of Daphne’s life for good…or is he?

This took me a very long time to get into, like 55-60%. After that it really picked up and I was ready to really see what happened with all the storylines. This should really be labeled as a suspenseful family drama, not a thriller.

I liked the new POV of Daisy Ann, but all the other characters really irritated most if not all the time. (This makes sense for 2 of them.) I don’t feel this was a needed sequel and a lot of it was similar situations to the first book. But I did enjoy the ending very much.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for an advanced copy of this book!

this was an exciting sequel to the last mrs. parrish! I read the original years ago and didn’t remember all the details, but it was pretty easy to pick up on things and remind myself of what had happened in the first book. the pacing of this novel is good and I enjoyed the multiple points of view. you never know who to trust. jackson and amber and truly detestable characters, which I know is the point, but sometimes it is still difficult to read about them or from amber’s pov, because they are just awful. overall, fun and suspenseful read with some unexpected twists!

thank you netgalley and random house - ballantine for this arc. pick up this one on 6/18/24!

This is the sequel I didn't know I need.

In my opinion, this one was way better than the "The Last Mrs. Parrish". In the first book you get the message that you get what you deserve, even if it is domestic violence, which is so wrong and it's what made me give me the book 3 stars.

However, I decided to give it this one a shot because the writers have a lot of potential and it didn't prove me wrong. This one was full of mind games, plot twists, a new amazing character and such a satisfying ending.

I wonder if there'll be a third book because of the ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me have an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.


This book picks up about two years after the ending of The Last Mrs. Parrish. Daphne is living with her two daughters in California and has rebuilt her relationship with her mother. Jackson Parrish is still married to Amber, and their son Jax is two. When Daphne's oldest daughter tries to run away from her class field trip to go back to see her father, their family therapist suggests taking the girls and spending the summer near their old home so their father can spend time with them. If you think that either Jackson or Amber has given up on being manipulative and destructive, you'd be wrong. This entire story is filled with backstabbing betrayal, some twists and turns, and ultimately, some of the characters get what's been coming their way for a long time. I gasped, cringed, and cheered my way through this one. It's definitely a fast read, and a must for anyone who read the first installment.

"What would it take to live with your abusive ex-husband again?" This is the question I have been asking myself over and over since reading The Next Mrs. Parrish. When I heard The Last Mrs. Parrish was finally getting a sequel, I was elated but nervous that it wouldn't live up to the original. As it turns out, it absolutely does! This book had me hooked again from the start and I found myself reading late into the night because I needed to read "just one more chapter." I always measure a great book on how well it is able to make me feel the emotions of the main characters. Judging by the anxiety and dread I felt while reading Daphne's chapters, this is 100% a great book. My stomach was in knots while Daphne was navigating her new situation, trying to be a good mom, and putting up with Jackson's antics. The author did a wonderful job expanding the story of Daphne, Jackson, and Amber while making it feel fresh and new. The addition of Daisy Ann gave the story a fresh-spin and someone else to root for.

I would absolutely recommend this book and will be to all of my friends and followers.

Prepare… This is one of those clear your schedule books because you cannot put it down and need to binge. There are so many twists and turns in this thriller! This book effortlessly ties into The Last Mrs. Parrish but can definitely be read as a stand alone.

I could not decide whether to sympathize, empathize or flat out despise some of these characters as they are all filled with surprises. Liv intertwines their stories amazingly to keep you reading until the very last page.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the copy. And, thank you, Liv for another amazing thriller!

The Next Mrs. Parrish was even more twisted than the first! The ending oh my goodness I didn’t see that coming. So many twists and turns this book with stay with me!

Wow. Big fan of Liv Constantine. I always recommend this author and this book is no exception. Her books keep you engaged and wondering what is coming next! Definitely would recommend picking this one up!

A thrilling roller coaster of a ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. Not to be missed and one to be savored. I loved it!

Familiar characters, familiar backstory but a whole new plot twist. Twisted and deceitful characters still bring all the drama to this cat and mouse story. Never saw the end coming! Highly recommend this sequel.

Wow! This was a page turner! I was in suspense chapter after chapter. I love how strong all of the characters are and you never know who to trust. It was everything would I would want out of a psychological thriller. If you loved the Last Mrs, Parrish you will definitely enjoy this must read!

Thank you to Liv Constantine, Random House Publishing and NetGally for the advanced copy!

Here is a book that is bound to be seen everywhere. Tucked into beach totes and shared in book clubs amid cocktails and nibbles. We revisit Daphne as she navigates an unruly teenaged daughter. A daughter who is caught up in the fantasy of her absent dad. A fantasy fed by Amber her stepmother. The father in question has gone to white collar jail. Daphne always puts the needs of her daughters first and decides against the advice of her inner voice to move for the summer near her ex so her children will have a genuine chance to see their father. Amber has her own agenda. It involves an off shore account, a suspicious death of her exhusband, and a vengeful daughter. It is a summer neither Daphne or her daughters will ever forget. It’s another exciting book from two authors I eagerly anticipate. Happy reading
