I liked this one a lot more than The Last Mrs. Parrish!

Both stories are full of toxic, crazy, unreliable characters - but this one just hit differently. Read book 1 so you know the level of crazy you're dealing with here. LOL

I very much enjoyed this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. As much as I dislike the characters of Amber and Jackson, the authors wrote them very well and I think they want us to dislike them!! The story lines kept my interest and intertwined nicely. Though parts of the book seemed unbelievable, I kept reading, wanting to know how the story would end up.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for approving a copy.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Bantam for providing me with an advance e-galley of this book in exchange for an honest review. Look for it now in your local and online bookstores and libraries.

A great follow up to the first Parrish book. There were so many twists and turns it was hard to keep up with. It was a fast, easy read and I read it in 1 day.

Well I guess I am the only one who has not read the first book in this series but I still plugged on and read it anyway. In this book, we meet Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann—three unforgettable characters for sure.

These women have their own characters and the author has developed them in such a way that you feel that you could sit down and have dinner with them. I loved Daisy Ann and her work to find justice for her deceased Dad. She was my favorite in this book.
I loved the way their stories mingled and there were parts of this book that made it very hard to put down. I think the ending is the best and the way the author ties it all together is just fantastic. Their stories intertwine in the most unexpected and brilliant ways.

Thanks to #NetGalley and Random house for my ARC of this book.

When I started reading this I swear to God I felt like I had already read it before. I kept second-guessing myself because it seemed so familiar. Maybe I just really longed for these characters and that's why it felt so familiar. Anywho, I really enjoyed the second installment. I love the back and forth POV between Amber and Daphne. My favorite part was watching Jackson get what he deserved and also watching Amber get the karma that was coming for her. The ending was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have written a better one myself If I willed it into existence. I absolutely love Liv Constantine's writing and this was another fantastic one from her. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Book was adequately paced. Wasn’t sure what to expect given that its predecessor did end on a clean note.

Amber is more insufferable if you could believe it! Jackson is enraging. Daphne still needs to be bold and defiant.

Love to hate! Quick read. Enjoyed the alternating POVs

I am such a fan of the first book. This book was a very slow burn, and so many story lines going on. I loved the story of Daphne, the abuse and her redemption in this book, the first book you didn’t really get to know her. I ending felt rushed and lacked motivation to continue.

If you read The Last Mrs. Parrish you must read The Next Mrs. Parrish! The authors (yes, Liv is a name pen name for sisters Lynne and Valerie) wrote this twisty domestic thriller that really had me thinking until the very end. The same characters from the first book are all here, Jackson, Amber and Daphne. Daisy Ann is a new character out for revenge after her father was killed in a hunting “accident” by his new wife, you got it —Amber—prior to her marriage to Jackson.

Before I continue with a summary of the plot, what I will tell you is to read the riveting sequel. So well developed and perfect jaw dropping moments.

Now on to a summary! Jackson is finishing his jail sentence for tax evasion. While in jail, Amber, the new Mrs. Parrish, is scheming after she finds rare gems on Jackson’s boat and is getting ready to leave Jackson and their baby son Jax. Meanwhile Daphne, the previous Mrs. Parrish, makes the difficult decision to go back to the town of Bishops Harbor after moving herself and her two daughters away to California. Tallulah, Her oldest daughter, is becoming difficult to raise because she misses her father and can’t understand why she can’t see him. So against Daphne’s better judgment she agrees to take this trip to Bishops Harbor to let her daughters see Jackson. She believes Jackson hasn’t changed but thinks it would be best to allow the children to see him under her watchful eye.

As I mentioned we have a new character Daisy Ann who is the founder and CEO of a famous jewelry line. After a chance encounter between Amber and Daisy Ann, Amber is hell bent on taking over the jewelry line while Daisy Ann wants an answer once and for all about her dear father’s death. in which Amber is certain to take over.

This book can be read as a standalone. If you love thrillers then this book is for you! The Next Mrs. Parrish has characters you will love to hate and the writing will keep you highly engaged.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group/Ballantine/Bantam for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest review.

3.5/5 Stars

Please note: this is the 2nd book in a duology (I hope?) so please read The Last Mrs. Parrish before you pick this up as there will be spoilers.

Description: Daphne's kids are begging to see Jackson again, and Amber needs an escape from him. When Daphne decides to bring her kids back to Jackson, Amber sees it as an opportunity to get out. However, when a ghost from Amber's past comes into play, Amber realizes it won't be as easy as she thought to leave Jackson in the dust. Who will come out on top: Jackson, Daphne, or Amber?

The interesting:
- The Daisy Ann storyline was extremely interesting.
- Amber is a villain you can't help but love honestly in this book. I was rooting for her against Jackson all the way.
- You get quite the nice resolution in this book and I'm hopeful we can leave this world alone now :)

The loss of a star and a half:
- DAPHNE'S STORYLINE MADE ME SO MAD. Anytime I was in a chapter with Daphne's perspective after she leaves California just made me roll my eyes. She was clearly still traumatized from Jackson the first time and I feel she just went way to easily, and then it just spirals. I would've just taken the Amber and Daisy Ann storylines, leave Daphne alone.

Overall: If you read the first book, no harm reading the second, but it may infuriate you.

This book! Was I worried about a follow-up to a book I truly liked not living up to the hype? All of the yes. Did this actually succeed in being amazing despite the first being good? All of the YES! I loved it. It was drama. It was telenovela. It was catty. It was rewarding. It truly enjoyed it and would read more (if it ever continued). Solid, solid 5!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced edition!

I was a fan of the first book in this series but this one just missed the mark for me. I loved how the first book ended and didn't feel this one was really needed to continue the story of Amber, Daphne, and Jackson. I give this three stars for the good writing but the story itself wasn't enough to grip me like the first novel did.

This is the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. You need to read the first book before reading this one.

The cat and mouse games continue with Amber, Daphne, and Jackson with the addition of a new character. Daisy Ann Briscoe is someone from Amber’s past who is looking for justice and revenge for Amber’s past actions. All four characters are trying to scam and outsmart each other. Who will have the upper hand? Who will be the last one standing? Does good conquer evil? Which characters can you trust?

This book is a page turner and full of suspense.

“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”

This book was the perfect ending to the Mrs. Parrish series. All my thoughts on how it would end were blown away, I would highly recommend this to entire series to anyone. All the characters were well thought of and played an important part in their roles. The twists and turns kept you guessing the whole time and on the edge of your seat. Liv Constantine is a mastermind!

✨Book Review✨
The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
I really did not think I was going to get sucked into this book the way that I did. I LOVED the first book in this series, but I read it so long ago that I hardly remembered anything at all. I had to read a few summaries online to refresh my memory. I advise anyone else to do the same as you do need to have at least a basic memory of the first book to pick this one up.
.
I read 75 percent of the book in one day, which is not usual for me. Something about the way these authors write really sucks me in. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved book one. I thought it was well worth reading. I wish it had been out when I read the previous book, as I think it would have been more satisfying to read them together.
.
While some loose ends are tied up, the ending of this book definitely leaves room for another book to be added to this series. I listened to the audio and enjoyed it!

In The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine, Amber Patterson Parrish has transformed herself from an invisible wallflower to a prominent socialite through meticulous planning and hard work, despite facing many challenges. Her stability is threatened by the imminent release of her husband Jackson from prison for tax evasion, which begins to disrupt her control over her life and finances. Daphne Parrish, Jackson's ex-wife, returns to Bishops Harbor when one of her daughters runs away to see Jackson, reluctantly re-entering a world she had left behind. As a ghost from Amber’s past seeks revenge, the lives of Amber, Jackson, and Daphne become intertwined in unexpected and suspenseful ways, leading to a gripping tale of duplicity and betrayal.

I enjoyed this book overall but believe the first book in the series was the best. It's definitely worth reading the prequel to fully appreciate this story, as some loose ends are tied up from the first book. The characters are a mix of likable and unlikable, adding depth to the story. While the twists were engaging, the pacing sometimes felt slow, making parts of the book drag. Additionally, I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the open ending, which left some questions unanswered. Despite these minor drawbacks, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is an entertaining read that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about the characters' motivations and alliances.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I had high hopes for this sequel as the first book was one of my favorite reads last year. I think I may have had too high of hopes for this sequel because I was underwhelmed by this book. It didn’t meet my expectations. I enjoyed how the book ended but I felt like it was dragged out a bunch until the end. Also Daphne and Daisy are too similar of names so I kept having to take a min to reorient myself whenever the chapters would change to ensure I knew who was the narrator that chapter. Overall I’d say it was average.

3.5 stars. I was so excited to get this sequel. Overall it was mediocre. Overall, I enjoyed reading it, but it did not live up to the first one for me. I was safisfied with how it ended but found it a little predictable. It was a little too "Lifetime movie" for me. I do love to hate Amber's character. Jackson's motives were lacking a little bit for me in this story.

Liv Constantine did it again! I was absolutely in love with the Last Mrs. Parrish book and actually rated it 5 stars. Getting an ARC for this sequel was very exciting for me, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first book! The way she writes and the twists and turns that are in it are just phenomenal. I will always pick up her books immediately.

This is the sequel I didn’t know I needed! And it sounds like there might be a third?!

Liv Constantine is back at it with THE NEXT MRS PARRISH, sucking us back into the rich people drama we all know and love from book one, but with new characters and new suspense at the forefront. I love how Liv Constantine crafts their stories — juicy, engaging, plot-driven, all leaving you wanting more.

And they even make you feel bad for the villain? Not the man villain. He sucks and we all know it.

So thankful I received an early copy of this one! Can’t wait for whatever comes next!
