I was so thrilled to be approved for this! I dove right in, and unfortunately, this just did not live up to my expectations. I found it rather "cheesy" for lack of a better word due to the whole diamond plot. I hate to give this a low star review, but it only was a 3 star for me. I will continue to resort to Constantine's books when they release, but this one was just a disappointment for me.

I just finished reading The Next Mrs. Parrish, which is a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The Parrish family are uber-dysfunctional, and diving back into their crazy world was an experience in itself. Even though it has been a couple of years since I read the first novel, I was impressed by how the author, Liv Constantine, managed to refresh my memory organically within the book.

The Next Mrs. Parrish is packed with lies, deception, and drama, making it an unputdownable page-turner. The plot twists and turns were so cleverly crafted that I found myself on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. I can confidently say that it's a 5+++ star novel that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller. Overall, this book is a must-read for all thriller enthusiasts out there!

Thank you NetGalley for an advance copy of this long awaited sequel to one of my favorite thrillers. We are back with Amber and Daphne in a new set of circumstances. Daphne is finally happy, with her 2 children and living a calm life but unfortunately her children want to be with their Dad Jackson...who is just getting out of prison. Daphne is afraid to make contact...but knows for her kids she must. And in the meanwhile, Amber is just as awful and is looking to steal a large sum of money from Jackson and finally be free. Go live lavishly on her own. The cat and mouse between these 2 women goes from there. This felt very similar in the best way to the first book. These characters are almost all awful but you still root for them and its a page turner until the end!

I don't like reading a book where the initial characters start the book and are not relatable or likable. It sets a tone for the story and I find myself not going back to it because I don't care about them.

Loved the book! The story of the two Mrs Parish’s finally came full circle!
Suspenseful
Great read
Well written

A fast paced book with twists, turns, emotional baggage and a mothers undying love woven into each page. The middle of the book was a bit slow but the last 100 pages gave way to a nice ending for all the characters.

The Next Mrs. Parrish picks up a couple of years after the last novel, The Last Mrs. Parrish. Daphne and Amber have kept their distance in the wake of Jackson serving time for tax evasion with Daphne raising her girls in California with her mom and trying to keep their relationship afloat since they do not understand why they can’t see or be with their father. They are soon brought back into each other’s lives and drama ensues. I loved the first novel, and this one was even better. Amber is just as horrible and duplicitous as before, if not more! What scandals await these ladies in Bishops Harbor and are there anymore secrets from Amber’s past that could possibly come out of the shadows? The shocking twists unfolds and I found myself binging as fast as humanly possible to find out what happens next. I gasped at the betrayals and secrets that came out. I hope this isn’t the last of hearing from all of these characters! This was a 5*read. Thank you, Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for the E-Arc and the chance, to review it!

Once again, a story that hooked me from the start! I absolutely love their writing style - especially how we don't get bogged down with the minutiae of each character's everyday life. A satisfying ending was the cherry on top.

Much to Daphne’s dismay, Jackson and Amber are far from being out of her, and her daughters’, lives forever.

After Tallulah starts acting out, Daphne realizes that she had to go back to Bishops Harbor and see the one person she hoped never to see again.

Amber, on the other hand, is doing everything in her power to get out of her relationship with Jackson, while also trying to take down an enemy from her past.

If you want to know how our favorite (and least favorite) characters end up, this is a must read for you!

There are plenty of plot twists and jaw-dropping moments to keep you hooked throughout. Definitely worth reading, just like the rest of the Constantine sisters’ books.

A great continuation from Mrs. Parrish. Love catching up with Daphne and Amber. The twist and turns are there from beginning to end. A satisfying ending and I sure would not mind reading another book with Daphne and Amber. Well done!

All the rave for this five star domestic thriller by Liv Constantine. I devoured the first novel, " The Last Mrs. Parrish" and loved prequel "The First Shot". To get an ARC of the sequel was not only a moment of jumping for excitement, but getting to revisit characters and all their schemes was the perfect excuse to pull an all night binge read-a-thon.

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" does not disappoint and will take you on a fast pace ride of messy drama, schemes, and twists. Be prepared to not want to put the book down while wanting to hurl it across the room because Amber is still vile. The ending is wild so buckle up!

Perfect for book clubs and though you can quickly pick up from the previous books, I would recommend giving a re-read to fully appreciate the drama and new twists.

I was jumping around like a kid on Christmas when I saw that I was approved for this. I LOVED The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv and this one was no different. I do recommend reading the prior books before reading a next in line so that you are caught up or refreshed. This book will be easier to understand if you read book 1. I love how Liv flawlessly writes her books and never lacks with the suspense, mystery along with twists and turns. You will not be able to set this book down. One for the year 2024!!!

Thank you so much to Random House, NetGalley and the author for allowing me the opportunity to read this eARC.

For fans of “The Last Mrs. Parrish”, you probably thought you’d never get immersed in the lives of Daphne, Amber and Jackson. But alas, the time has come to continue the disturbing story of a woman trying to escape an abusive marriage, a disturbed, narcissistic, sociopathic woman moving in on that marriage in hopes of becoming a wealthy socialite and a man who is equally as terrible and controlling.
•••
The Next Mrs. Parrish introduces a new character, Daisy Ann, who is somehow intertwined in the lies told by Amber and determined to bring her to down.

Although this really wasn’t the book for me, I think those who enjoyed the first book will also enjoy this one.
Thank you @netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this long awaited sequel!

4/5 Star Thriller

I was kind of shocked to see their was a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, because it felt like we got a very final ending to that book. But I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I can’t add much to the actual plot without giving big spoilers. But we get the next chapter of Amber and Daphne’s lives and it was so good! For me, the big reason the first book was so good was the massive twist midway through where the POV switched to Daphne. While this didn't have quite as big of a shock factor, I still thought it was a fast-paced and overall really great thriller. While I do think the first book was better, I still really loved this one and thought it was a great addition to the story. If you enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish this is definitely worth reading.

Thank you to Netgallery for the ARC of the sequel for one or my most favorite books and authors. I was so excited to read this and couldn’t believe I actually got accepted to read The Next Mrs. Parrish. Unfortunately this missed the mark for me. It didn’t feel like the first book almost as if it was written by someone other than the lovely authors. I immediately didn’t like that Daphne felt like she had to keep Jackson’s discretions from her daughter so much so that she would get back in touch with the man who terrorized her. So much about this didn’t work for me and felt juvenile. Amber and the diamonds it all just didn’t work for me. The story felt jumbled and a bit cheesy. I honestly could have done without the sequel as it just wasn’t as well done for me as the original. This should in no way disuade you from reading other Liv Constantine books as I have thoroughly enjoyed the others.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was so excited to see that Amber and Daphne would be thrusted back into each other’s lives in The Next Mrs. Parrish.

This sequel was thrilling, fast paced and just fabulous! It was such a great continuation of their story. I could not put it down! I highly recommend it when it comes out in June!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced e-copy!!

Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into one another's lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line, in this thrilling sequel to the million-copy-bestselling Reese's Book Club Pick .

This book was a good quick read. The narcissistic character is well written. I enjoyed reading and loved the ending! Without giving too much away!

A story of good guys and bad guys - actually good women and a bad man and an evil woman. Love, revenge, and double-crossings make for a fine fast ready.

Jackson and Amber are the epitome of sociopathic behavior without any qualms of the results of their actions nor emotional attachment to others. They only care about one person and that is themselves. It is simply unfathomable how Amber was able to walk away from children, set others up for imprisonment and what occurred between her and Daisy Ann's father. Her ruthlessness had no bounds. Jackson in his treatment of Daphne truly believed that in his emotionally depraved state that he was doing what wad best for her and their family. It was evident that he thought he was a great father. I was so glad to see how Daisy Ann and Daphne bonded in a motherly capacity. The red tinted glasses at the end when Amber opened the door was a great last farewell. A captivating book and I certainly would read it again.

Loved the first one & loved this as well! Well done, & just as good as the first book. Definitely recommend reading the first book before this one
