This one was disappointing to me. It was slow moving and once it got to the twists they weren’t jaw dropping!

This book did want me to keep reading to know how it ended . Although I didn’t find any of the characters likeable and things were dragging on . It didn’t seem like the 1st book needed a sequel.
Thank you Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for providing an advance copy in exchange for an honest review

thank you netgalley for the e-arc. i remember really enjoying the last mrs parrish and was happy to hear about the next mrs parrish as a follow up. once i got enough of amber, i skimmed her chapters, she's a horrible person for whatever reasons and i didn't want to waste time in a crazy person's mind. my favorite characters were daphne and daisy, especially when they worked together in the end.

For Fans of the Last Mrs Parrish comes a sequel not to be missed. Suspenseful and moving, we follow the ‘what happened next’ . While at times the characters got on my nerves, it think that’s the point, and why this book works. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

This is the follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish and it was much needed! I’m so glad that the author decided to answer our questions and give us more of the story after what happened in the previous book.

I dove into this book and kept turning the pages because I had to know what was going to happen to Amber and Daphne. I felt like all of our questions were answered and there weren’t any loose ends after finishing this one.

My overall rating of this book is 4.5⭐️.

4/5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! I had a hard time starting this because The Last Mrs. Parrish is one of my favorite books of all time and that pressure of will it live up to the first!? I enjoyed this book, not as much as the first, but pretty close!

The Next Mrs. Parrish, starts off where the first book left off. With a special kind of crazy. Amber Patterson Parrish has been living her best life. She is in a beautiful mansion, her young son is doing well and her husband is in prison. She finds out though, that her husband is getting out of prison and she isn’t prepared for that. Daphne Parrish, is clear across the county from her ex husband and her ex life on the east coast. Her and her daughters are thriving and there doesn’t seem to be a thing that could upset the apple cart. That is until her ex husband is getting out of jail and he wants to see his girls. He swears he is a changed man. He won’t do anything to Daphne and he promises to be on his best behavior. It doesn’t help that one of her daughters runs away to her dad. Wild things start going down.
Now Jackson is getting out of prison. He has plans, he has debts to pay and he needs to money, fast. He gets Daphne to come east, he tries to drive Amber mad and he thinks he is getting ahead. How can this play out? One can only imagine, the lengths all three will go to get what they want, save their sanity and to get out alive. This was a fast paced book. If you like the first book you will enjoy this book. But it could be read as a stand alone. Liv Constantine does a great job at writing a great car and mouse story. I was hooked from the start and couldn’t stop reading until ai saw how it needed. It did not disappoint: I want to thank Netgalley, Random House Publishing Group/Ballantine/Bantam for my copy for an honest review. It was my pleasure to read and review this book.

I couldn't wait for the sequel, and here it is - just as boring, bracingly funny, and suspenseful as the first. Liv Constantine excels at characters you love to hate, but still love to read about. Go in blind (even if you've read the first book) and prepare for a rollicking good time.

Another great read by Liv Constantine! Her books are fast reads with a excellent story. I love how it built on this from the previous book but gave the book it's own spin. This is definitely a great pool read for the summer.

Such a thrilling ride. Loved it. I devoured it in one day couldn't put it down. Recommend it to all my friends.

I enjoyed this much more than the first one. I felt like the Last Mrs. Parrish really dragged until the end. This novel; however, told a lot of backstory, but still moved along quite quickly. I truly hated the oldest daughter, Tallulah. The attitude, the disrespectful way she spoke to her mother-oof! It also seemed as though Daphne didn't learn her lesson originally dealing with Amber and Jackson, but she soon proved herself to be a worthy opponent. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. The writing was definitely more fast-paced, and it was an easy read that made it difficult to put down.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me the chance to read an early digital copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish by the fabulous duo, Liv Constantine. I have been a fan of them ever since The Last Mrs. Parrish. I always credit that book for being the first book to get me into reading thrillers as an adult. I have been chasing the high of that book ever since reading it, and even though I have read Liv Constantine's other books, you can imagine my excitement when I saw that there was going to be a follow up to an old favorite of mine. I am happy to report that this one lived up to the hype for me. I would definitely suggest reading The Last Mrs. Parrish before reading this one, so you have the "history" of the main characters before reading this one. I can't wait to see what they are going to come up with next!

This sequel was not needed but it was nice to revisit these characters again! A lot of the story was very very repetitive which took away from the story. I didn't like the southern slang used as that is not how we talk in the south. While I appreciate having Amber and Jackson back in my life, i'm going to pretend this wasn't made because I like how we left them in the initial book.

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine is a great sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish! This book was as twisty and entertaining as the 1st book! I’m hoping for a 3rd!?!? I just can’t get enough! We need to know what happens to Amber!

An incredible book with wonderful characters and a beautiful setting. It will keep you guessing until the end.

The Next Mrs Parrish was a page turner. The characters were well developed and the chapters alternated between them. It was fast paced and the ending was satisfying. The twists and turns were numerous . I highly recommend this book for all psychological thriller lovers. It will keep you guessing until the end.

Multiple POVs with several rich characters behaving badly.

If you read the first book you are aware of characters Amber, Jackson, and Daphne. Daphne is the first Mrs. Parrish and Amber is the next or current Mrs. Jackson Parrish.

Jackson and Amber continue to be the worst of mankind. Daphne is inserted back into their world in hopes of honoring her daughter’s request to spend time with her father. Daphne gave me anxiety throughout the book with her choices.

This book also introduces Daisy Ann. Daisy is a successful businesswoman who is seeking to avenge her father’s death that was previously ruled as a tragic accident. Daisy is convinced that her father’s ex is to blame. The intersection between all of these characters made for a thrilling read. I also enjoyed the storyline ending. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced reader copy.

**Review of *The Next Mrs. Parrish***

The Next Mrs. Parrish, the gripping sequel to the bestselling thriller *The Last Mrs. Parrish*, delivers on its promise of high-stakes drama and twisted intrigue. If you thought the first book was thrilling, buckle up for an even more electrifying ride.

Set in the opulent world of Bishops Harbor, the story picks up with Amber Patterson Parrish, now a prominent socialite struggling to maintain her facade amid financial and personal turmoil. Her husband Jackson’s recent release from prison has thrown her into a whirlwind of stress, as her hard-earned social standing begins to crumble.

Daphne Parrish, Amber’s former rival and Jackson’s ex-wife, returns to Bishops Harbor under distressing circumstances. Her daughter’s desire to reconnect with Jackson forces Daphne back into a world she had vowed to leave behind. The tension between Daphne and Amber is palpable, driven by their shared history and Jackson’s unpredictable behavior.

The novel expertly weaves together the lives of these three central characters, throwing them into a dangerous game where trust is a luxury they can ill afford. As Amber’s past resurfaces and vengeance becomes a driving force, the story takes on a relentless pace, packed with shocking revelations and unexpected alliances.

Author [Author's Name] masterfully maintains suspense throughout, keeping readers guessing about who can be trusted and who might be playing a deeper game. The characters are richly developed, each grappling with their own motives and secrets, making the twists and turns of the plot all the more compelling.

Fans of *The Last Mrs. Parrish* will find this sequel a worthy follow-up, though it stands strong on its own merits. It’s a riveting exploration of betrayal and redemption, and it challenges readers to reconsider the nature of loyalty and the price of power. If you're in the mood for a high-octane thriller with sharp twists and a complex narrative, *The Next Mrs. Parrish* is sure to satisfy.

Liv Constantine just knows how to write a story that is so easy to gobble up. I read The Last Mrs. Parrish in a matter of hours. The Next Mrs. Parrish was no different! The same characters are back at it again in this sequel with the addition of a 3rd female main character. Daisy adds a plot twist to the story I never saw coming. Jackson is still as diabolical as Daphne is naive. And Amber is downright evil but makes for a great antagonist. I really just had the urge to shake Daphne for falling for Jackson’s ways again.
An easy, quick and fun read!
Thank you Liv Constantine and NetGalley for the ARC!
