I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish but I just couldn't get into The Next Mrs. Parish. I don't know if it was the Audiobook narrator or what, but unfortunately this book was a miss for me.

The Next Mrs. Parrish is the sequel to the best-seller, The Last Mrs. Parrish. In this book, we reconnect with Daphne, Amber, and Jackson Parrish and their drama. Lawrence is out of jail and determined to get first wife, Daphne, back, at any cost. Meanwhile, Daphne is far away with her daughters acclimating to life without Jackson. Amber is still Amber - scheming and manipulative. The Parrishes are in for a while ride when they are unfortunately brought back together (Daphne and Jackson), while Amber is planning her greay escape. Of course, this wouldn't be a great Mrs. Parrish read without the drama. And boy, is the drama good! There are several schemes and twists and I was taken for quite the ride! Very enjoyable!

Thank you NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine, and Liz Constantine for this thrilling read!

If you read this sequel, you might want to reread The Last Mrs. Parrish again. I rgetting ead it when it first came out and I had forgotten a lot about the characters and what they had done.

Amber Parrish, after getting Jackson away from first wife Daphne, is now trying to get away from Jackson. He is doing time for tax evasion and she wants it set up for her to leave him before he gets home. She finds diamonds he has hidden and makes plans to leave the country and set herself up for the good life. That does not include her son Jax. The best laid plans.....Jackson gets out early and all he wants is to get back Daphne so he enlists Amber's help. These two are so awful. It was hard getting past the terrible things they did for money or some sick kind of love. It got to be a bit too much for me.

Daisy Ann needs to get Amber arrested for murdering her father. She knows that she did it, even if they found no evidence otherwise. She will not rest until she gets her.

Lots of machinations and backstabbing. The ending is good. You want to see some kind of justice.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Ballantine for a copy for review.

If you loved her first book you must read to read this one. Holy smokes! I felt satisfied with the ending of the first book and wondered where this would go. It did not disappoint. It was great!

Did the first book need a sequel? No. Did I enjoy the heck out of this one anyway? Yes.

I rolled my eyes a bunch and it had just as many unlikable characters, but the chapters were short and easy to get through. Not as suspenseful but I liked it.

3.5 stars

I enjoyed the writing style better than the first book, which struggled at times to keep the story moving. This time around, us readers knew what to expect, yet were still surprised with the work of Constantine. An equally thrilling story!

I loved this sequel! Sequels sometimes make me nervous living up to how great the first book was . This sequel was great and immediately I got engrossed again with the characters from the first book .

I thought this was a very good sequel to follow the first book. I thought this book was fun and was definitely a page turner. I’m always a fan of multiple POVs! It’s like reading other stories within the story. But it was done so well!

I should preface my review by saying that I really liked The Last Mrs. Parrish. It was twisty and thrilling. The ending was one of the best I've ever read in a thriller and I've read hundreds of them. The characters were terrible, but they had depth and there was at least one to root for.

My overall feeling with this follow-up to The Last Mrs. Parrish was: why? We pick up sort of where the last book left off, but not really. Jackson is in prison where he should be but unfortunately he's due to get out. Amber is still very Amber which is awful. Daphne has moved across country where she definitely should have stayed and never let her children out of her sight. But wait is there a new Mrs. Parrish lurking? Maybe??

Why... That's all I can think with this book. Why did we need it? I want to write more, but I just don't think the book even deserves it. Immediately upon starting the book, I thought, oh this doesn't feel right. This is not the Mrs. Parrish vibes. This is not the follow-up that I anxiously awaited. Just very much did not enjoy.

I was so happy to read another Liv Constantine book. I enjoyed the first Mrs. Parrish book, and really enjoyed this one as well. I found myself getting so frustrated with Daphne at times, but an unknown ally comes along to help take Amber and Jackson down.

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.
