I loved the first book in this series and the novella, and this one was no exception! The world of Daphne is so fun, twisted, and chaotic to jump into. It kept me engaged from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I hope they make more in this series!

I loved another book from this series once again. I read it so quickly. I can’t wait for another one.

Absolutely loved this book! The writing and storytelling kept me hooked and I couldn't put this down. Liv Constantine does an incredible job of building character development and keeping every chapter a page turner.

Highly recommend!

if you love domestic thriller and enjoy the housemaid series by Freida Mcfadden then I recommend this book!

Full transparency, I despised The Last Mrs. Parrish. I rated it one star. And the only reason I read the second installment in the series is because I was gifted the eARC.

With that being said, I am so glad I did end up reading this one because it is so much better than the first in the series. Daphne was stronger. She fought for her kids harder. Amber was still just as insufferable but she got what was coming for her, and so did Jackson which made for a pleasurable ending to this novel. It does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, so there is possibility of another book to the series but it’s resolved enough that I don’t feel angry at the cliffhanger. It created just enough intrigue.

I’m still not a HUGE fan of this series, and it’s more than likely due to the content of spousal abuse and manipulation as well as insufferable characters, however, there were some likeable characters and some strong, female, powerful moments which kept me invested. I’m not confident I would recommend this series because the first one was just that bad, but this one was so much better.

Following her divorce, Daphne and her two daughters have built a new life in California—about as far from Bishops Harbor as she could get. She’s focused on putting the pieces back together, creating a stable home for her girls, and finally moving on from Jackson Parrish’s suffocating grip. But when her oldest daughter, Tallulah, runs away from a class trip to D.C. in an attempt to see her father, Daphne is thrown right back into the chaos she worked so hard to escape.

Meanwhile, Jackson Parrish is released from federal prison a month early on good behavior and is back in his palatial waterfront estate before the sun even sets. As far as he’s concerned, prison is in the past, and he’s ready to reclaim his life, his business, and—most disturbingly—his family. Never mind that he’s currently married to Amber and has a two-year-old son, Jax. Jackson has tunnel vision for Daphne and their daughters, fully expecting to pick up right where they left off. What a sicko.

But Jackson isn’t the only one scheming. After discovering Amber stole millions from him in an attempt to flee to Paris, he forces her into a deal: help him win Daphne back, and in return, he’ll help Amber take down an enemy from her past. The only problem? They’re both master manipulators who can’t be trusted—by anyone.

This second installment from Liv Constantine had me thinking I’d love the "new" Daphne as much as the old one, but I was wrong. The original Daphne knew exactly who she was dealing with and never wavered. Sure, she wasn’t always a full step ahead, but she stayed sharp and kept her head on a swivel. This Daphne? I don’t know what happened to her in California, but it’s like she lost her fight.

Solid 3-star read. Lana’s past in Nebraska had plenty of skeletons—Daisy Ann and Jake Crawford weren’t necessary. That said, I did enjoy Birdie. Daisy Ann just felt like another rich woman for Lana to despise, but she already had enough resentment in her life. The story could have explored that instead and landed in the same place—Amber in jail.

I absolutely loved this series. The next Mrs. Parrish is a perfect domestic thriller. This one was equally as good as the first Mrs. Parrish.

Jackson is now out of jail & trying to make amends, but Daphne knows all too well he can't be trusted.

This book had me on the edge of my seat, not to mention that little brat Tallulah. She had me unhinged. One of the best sequels I've read. Thank you to NG for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review

I read The Last Mrs. Parrish a few years ago as part of book club and loved it!
Thank you to Net Gallery for the ARC in exchange for feedback.
The Next Mrs. Parrish continues with the same characters, few new characters. The story is told through viewpoints of three alternating characters. There are many twists and turns, some more believable than others. Some characters more likable than others; very well developed by the author.
I will continue to read the author’s books, predict that this one will be a popular read.

When I originally requested this book, I did not realize that it was a sequel to a book that had come out several years prior. I do think this could have been read standalone, but it is probably best enjoyed after reading the first book. I have to say, it probably isn’t the best thriller I have read. It is a like, not a love, just as the first book was as well. I appreciated that we had new characters in this book, and I do feel like the writing improved since the first book as well. That being said, there were SO many parts of this book that were incredibly cringey- especially all the Texas conversations. I’ve literally never heard somebody use the term “tarnation” in my life and I live in the south. Come on ladies! Nevertheless, it was a fun book to read if you enjoy toxic people who do horrible things to other people. I appreciated the cliffhanger at the end as well. While it wasn't my perfect read, it was twisty and kept me guessing with all the deceit which kept me coming back for more, so for those reasons I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced reading copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

I had the privilege of reading the first book so receiving the next book was thrilling. I was supper exited about this new book as I was anticipating what was going to happen next. I will say the first book was really thrilling and felt a lot more like a page turner. I didn't get the same joy reading this as I feel like this second book wasn't needed. I do love the switching of characters as it made it a bit more tolerable to read but the characters weren't developing throughout the story. Overall, I'd say it was decent but I wouldn't read again or recommend this sequel.

This was a great book. I loved every paragraph, every sentence and every word of this masterpiece! I read it in 12 hours, which is a lot for me to do! It had everything and more laid out in the novel! I sure hope There is more to come from this author! I am totally hooked!

If you read The Last Mrs. Parrish, this will answer a lot of questions and it’s a satisfying ending. Daphne and Amber are both in the picture, as are of course Jackson and all the children. Amber’s past comes back to haunt her in the most shocking way and let’s just say karma plays a big role. There’s a lot of Amber we don’t know until this book and she’s very much like Jackson, but there cannot be two alphas in a marriage but there can be a lot of mutual scheming and planning. Jackson certainly met his match.
Daphne has found herself living a great life with her girls and her mom. Everything thing seems to be going well for her except for the fact that one of her daughters wants to spend time with Jackson. That’s where things get real, and Daphne has to learn to play dirty or the dynamic duo of Jackson and Amber will destroy her.
Once again Live Constantine keeps me on edge and with her unexpected twists and turns and I am rooting for Daphne all the way.

I finally picked up The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine, a book I had been excited to jump into after reading the first one years ago. The characters came rushing back to me so quickly, and I couldn't wait to see how their story would unfold.

Amber Patterson Parrish has transformed from an invisible wallflower into a powerful socialite. But, with her husband Jackson’s release from prison after a tax-evasion scandal, she’s losing control of everything she worked so hard for. As time slips away, so does her grip on her perfect life.

Daphne Parrish, once married to Jackson, returns to Bishops Harbor after years of swearing she’d never set foot in the town again. Her daughter’s desperate attempt to reconnect with her father brings Daphne back, only to find Jackson claiming he’s a changed man. But Daphne knows better—he can’t be trusted.

The pace is electric, the characters are wildly entertaining, and the ending?! 🤯 I can’t recommend this one enough for thriller fans! If you haven’t yet, make sure to add it to your TBR. Trust me, you’ll want to know what happens next.

The Next Mrs. Parrish started off pretty slow, especially considering how much I enjoyed the first book of the series. However, I really did enjoy the twist and thought that the character development paid off well throughout the book. While many of the characters are so hate-able, that makes the plot come to live. Overall, enjoyed the read.

3.5/5 stars. This one didn’t live up to the first book, but was still entertaining with a twist or two that will keep you guessing! Definitely worth the read!

Well if you've read the first book "The Last Mrs Paris" (a page turner) then you know we all wanted to know what happened to Amber and then, "The Next Mrs Paris", with all her ups and downs and ins and outs and dirty dealings we finally find out what happenes to Amber. I thought that the end was a little long but at the very last page and I mean the very last page you find out what happens to Amber. It wasn't until that evening after I close the book that it hit me, and I said wow! And it wasn't until the next day when I was telling my friend about it, that I saw the pink sunglasses that I gave it another WOW! The end is really really startling. What a deserved turn it takes totally unexpected ending. The last few chapters...just keep reading you will be stunned and satisfied. Yes!

enjoyed this read just like the first one! thrilling and entertaining. though this is a sequel, i feel this book could be read as as standalone and one would still be able to follow the story.
thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for this ARC

Big fan of this series despite hatinggggggg half the characters but the twists and turns have me coming back for more. I absolutely ate this one up

The Next Mrs. Parrish
Pub date: 6/18/24
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved The Last Mrs. Parrish so was so excited for this sequel! I definitely enjoyed it, just not as much as the first. Amber is planning her divorce to Jackson and is still such an unlikable character.
Daphne is living with her daughters in California. She returns to Jackson in the summer to allow supervised visits with their daughters. But is he really a changed man?? I lived the twists and turns this book took! I love domestic psychological thrillers!

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

The follow up that we all wanted, but regretted having. I really didn’t enjoy this book, to the point where it almost made me like the first one less.
