Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to review.
There are some books that don't need a sequel, and some books where the sequel just falls completely flat, and this is both.
I really hated that a health professional tells Daphne to go back to Jackson.
I hated how much I had to suspend disbelief about a felon.
I could not take how much this pits women against each other, no matter how awful some of them are.

Just not a fan. All around

I really enjoyed this book. I think I like the sequel even more than the first. I thought it did a really good job with picking up where the last left off. I thought the addition of Daisy Mae and her story line made it more interesting. I was rooting for her. I also liked the POVs switching in the chapters. Parts were a little hard to get through and predictable but overall it was a fast paced suspenseful read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy!

Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’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- best seller. I really enjoyed the sequal.and look forward to more liv Constantine books

I loved the first book and liked the second. I feel it was perfect the way it left off in the first book. This was also good though. The strings that were left unanswered in the first book are answered here. I did love this plot and the new character Daisy Ann was a nice addition to the story.

I loved both the first book in this series and loved this one even more. Flew through them both! Highly recommend!!

UGH who asked for this again? I wasn’t someone that was necessarily excited about this book but I was… intrigued….. sorry to Liv I love you girl but overall it felt like a cash grab and this book felt like a weird novella in a lot of ways.

I think the way THE LAST MRS. PARRISH ended left for way to pick up where these characters left off, but that definitely didn’t need to happen and this wasn’t a story that needed to be told. There was no character development, if anything these characters got worse, and it didn’t change the ending of the last book in any way. It kind of just unspooled the story again to tie everything back up in a pretty bow.

Overall, if you are THE LAST MRS. PARRISH’s number one fan, I say read it! I think it would be fun to also read both the first and second book back to back. BUT other than that I would say this book is a bit of a skip for me.

If you have read the previous books by author Liv Constatine on Mrs. Parrish, you will know that Daphne has escaped the hands of her psychologically abusive husband Jackson. Jackson is in prison and yet married to Amber (former housekeeper, marriage breaker), and mother to their son Jax). Amber has been spending Jackson's money so fast that it is almost gone and he will soon be realeased from prison. Neither woman wants to be with Jackson. But Jackson has plans to get Daphne and his children back.

In a twisty, popcorn thriller of a book that I couldn't stop reading/ listening to (as most popcorn thrillers are for me!), I flew through this one enjoying every minute of it, while holding my breath at times.

My thanks to Net Galley and Bantam for an advanced copy of this e-book.

Another great read. I read the first one a while back and ahhhh I loved it, once I saw she wrote this book I just had to get it and it did not disappoint! Amazing 😍

A great sequel to the first Mrs. Parrish, I devoured this fun, juicy thriller. An ideal summer read!

"The Next Mrs. Parrish", reunites Daphne and Amber Parrish in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Amber, now a prominent socialite, faces a new threat just as her husband Jackson is released from prison. Daphne, returning to Bishops Harbor for her daughter's sake, is wary of Jackson's promises of change. As a vengeful figure from Amber's past emerges, alliances form and shatter in unexpected ways. With its shocking twists and captivating characters, this page-turner keeps you guessing until the very end.

This is a fun sequel to THE LAST MRS. PARRISH, all about Amber and Daphne’s pasts trying to catch up to them and the games of cat and mouse that ensue. There were definitely some twists I didn’t see coming, and it’s a great summer thriller! I liked that the ending was wrapped up, but not too wrapped up (Liv Constantine is great at the last-minute twist). I do recommend reading THE LAST MRS. PARRISH and THE FIRST SHOT in order first, as this one pulls a lot from both of those books, but also there’s enough background information to not be totally confused if you don’t. I definitely recommend picking this up for your next beach/pool read!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the opportunity to read before pub day! ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH is out now!

I tried starting this book several times but I just couldn't get into it! I finally finished it and the pace definitely picked up as it went along. I wasn't a huge fan of this sequel though. I didn't enjoy reading about these unlikable characters again. Jackson is obviously horrible and so is Amber. We met several new characters who were "good" but everyone was still lying and tricking everyone around them. By the end of the book there is some justice, but the plot goes back and forth and I found myself rooting for no one! This is one of those books that I felt didn't need a sequel.

I typically would stray away from a sequel so far after the original and especially a thriller. The Last Mrs. Parrish was one of my favorite thrillers so I was intrigued to find out what happened to the Parrishs.

This book was fast paced and wow it gave me major anxiety but I could not put it down. I was worried I wouldn't remember enough from the first book but it all came flooding back.

I really enjoyed this one!

Amber Patterson Parrish has come a long way from being an invisible wallflower. Her hard work and immaculate planning have paid off now that she’s a prominent socialite, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been bumps along the way. Less than a year since her husband Jackson’s tax-evasion scandal, Amber is still at the top of the Bishops Harbor community pecking order, free to do as she wishes while Jackson sits in prison. But that freedom is quickly coming to an end. With Jackson getting released from prison, Amber’s time—and money—is vanishing.

Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish left Bishops Harbor after her divorce from Jackson Parrish, swearing she would never go back. But when one of her daughters runs away from home, desperate to see her father, Daphne agrees to return for the summer to allow him supervised visits. Once out of prison, Jackson swears he’s a changed man, but Daphne knows all too well that he can’t be trusted.

When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, the three of them find unlikely allies in one another, but who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game.

With shocking turns and entertaining characters, The Next Mrs. Parrish will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about duplicity and betrayal.

The first one was amazing so I was so thrilled to receive an ARC. In this gripping sequel, we meet Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann—three fascinating characters you won't forget.

Amber is cunning and super confident, Daphne is trying to move on from her past, and Daisy Ann is on a mission to get justice for her late father. Their stories intertwine in the most unexpected and brilliant ways. The plot is so creative and binge-worthy that you won't be able to put it down.

The ending? Absolutely fantastic! Everything ties together perfectly, leaving you completely satisfied.

Big thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for letting me read and review this advance copy. If you're looking for a great read, this book is a must!

Mini Thoughts:
Craving some drama with the wealthy elite? This summer read delivers just that! As a fan of #TheLastMrsParrish I was thrilled to hear about this sequel. TV producers, are taking note 📝 – I think these two books have miniseries written all over them!

Perfect for those who enjoy:
• The lifestyles of the rich and infamous
• Snarky teen characters (Hi it was me 🙋🏼‍♀️)
• Family sagas with a dash of mystery
• Poolside energy 😛
• Trust fund shenanigans 💰

They did it again!

This was the perfect sequel to The Last Mrs Parrish.
Daphne, Amber, Jack and all the kids return to uncover more lies, deceit and of course the love of mothers ♥️. Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

It has been a while since I've read a popcorn thriller. This was a needed sequel. The Next Mrs Parrish picked up from the first book but this time there's some from the presequel.
I really enjoyed Daisy Ann, Daphne, and Amber’s intertwined stories. I was here for Amber’s crazy behavior. 😂🤣 I like how everything came together and felt in the dark until the very end


Thank you so much Netgalley and Random House the ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

This pair of authors never disappoint. This was a great sequel to the Last Mrs Parish. It was a twisting story that was a quick read.

Liv Constantine did it again! They managed to write a spell-binding novel that I couldn’t put down. This book kept me interested the entire time, yet at times, all I wanted to do was shout at Daphne! And Amber…my goodness. I definitely think this is a perfect summer read if you’re a thriller lover like I am!

In this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, I was on edge from the beginning to the end. We start with Daphne living her best life in California after divorcing Jackson when he was arrested for tax evasion and married Amber. When Daphne's daughter, Tallulah, starts to act out and demand to see her father, Daphne is hesitant, but with the advice of her therapist, she returns to Bishops Harbor with her children.

From here more surprising events happen with Daphne, Amber, and Jackson. Jackson tries to prove that prison changed him, Amber has someone from her past surprise her, and in the end Karma came.

Once again, Liv Constatine did it again. Kept me on edge of my seat and I am still reeling from the events of this book.
