I couldn’t quite remember reading the first book and debated reading it again before reading this one but once I started reading I was able to recall the basics as many of the characters are in this one from the first book. However I also think this book could be read as a stand alone as well.
It’s filled with a ton of unpredictable jaw dropping moments. Some seem a bit far-fetched, but if you can get past that and allow yourself to indulge in the pure insanity of these sociopathic characters… it’s quite enjoyable!

This book was good. I found it a little slower than the first book, but a fun read as a follow up to a great story.

I enjoyed the story, but it didn't feel fresh or compelling. I was left a bit disappointed after the original Mrs. Parrish books from Constantine.

There is just something special about revisiting the characters from a favorite book. I was beyond excited to read The Next Mrs. Parrish and I was definitely satisfied with this sequel written under the pen name Liv Constantine, which is actually the brainchild of sisters who write over Facetime together. As an aspiring author, I have been intrigued by their collaboration. They do a great job of building suspense and storyline around each of the main lead ladies, and Jackson Parrish. I also recommend the Prequel The First Shot.

I enjoyed this sequel almost as much as I did the first book. I was thoroughly entertained and invested in the characters and their journey.

I loved the sequel to the best selling thriller! So fun to continue developing characters from the first novel. Will add more later

I wound up loving this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish! When I first began reading The Next Mrs. Parrish I admit to thinking it my be a DNF for me, but a few chapters in I was engrossed and was surprised by a couple plot twists by the final pages--I think I enjoyed this one even more than the first book. Some familiar characters, some new, tracking across the US and sinister plot lines--what more do we readers want out of a second novel? Brain candy with a fast pace = recommend The Last Mrs. Parrish if you haven't read it, just to move along to this one!

My thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing/Ballantine for the opportunity to read this title in exchange for my honest review!

I liked this just as much if not more than the first one. I did not guess the ending and it kept me engrossed from beginning to end. overall 4 stars

Love this Mrs. Parrish novel. After reading the first one I thought this one would also be a great next read. Was intrigued by the cover and my initial reactions with the first book were great. I was pretty drawn in on Chapter 1. It's on the longer side but still enjoyed reading and would recommend to book club and my followers. Looking forward to what Liv Constantine writes next.

Loved this sequel! It had old characters but brought new ones in and it didn't feel forced. Perfectly twisty.

Took a minute to figure out how the new characters would connect to the old characters. And sometimes I wanted to scream - you know better! but that is what made this book so great.

This is a FANTASTIC follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. This book is extremely fast paced and it has a lot of moving parts, but I feel it is still easy to follow. There are plenty of unpredictable twists without being overly dramatic.

I was instantly hooked with The First Mrs Parrish and couldn’t wait to read the sequel. The story was just as gripping with the same group of characters and some fresh perspectives thrown in as well! If you haven’t read the first book, do your self a favor and go get it now!

Daphne has grown since we last met her and is far better at deflecting Jackson’s mind games, or has she?!? When her oldest daughter starts to give her trouble about missing her father, Daphne decides that a summer back in Bishops Harbor would do the girls some good and then they can get back to their lives. Little does she know Jackson hasn’t changed at all, and Amber is just as manipulative as before. There is lots of plotting and mind games throughout this one, can you ever really be sure who you can trust?

Absolutely loveddd this one! I was obsessed with the first one and this did not disappoint. Read it now!

Took me a while to get to this one because I had to go back and read the first book in this series before I started this one! Loved that Constantine decided to continue with this story as a series, which makes sense after reading the first. The first came with its own flaws (dragged out storyline, awful characters, etc.), as did this one. BUT I feel like I enjoyed this 2nd book more?! While the characters are still ones that are detestable in this book, at least I was more invested in the actual storyline. This book is a SMART thriller, which I wholly appreciated and enjoyed! And I loooove that this one didn’t seem as long or as dragged out, so I actually wanted to continue picking it up. And lastly, LOVED the ending - so satisfying!!

Thank you to Ballantine (Bantam) & NetGalley for providing me a copy of the e-book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, and was excited for this sequel. However, I was disappointed with this one. I felt that it “undid” the progress of the characters in the first book. For example, Daphne was made to seem weak and naive in this one and I found her unlikable. I just couldn’t get into this one and was bored.

I appreciate the eARC from #NetGalley in exchange for honest feedback. -2.5 stars

I have to say that I was really surprised how much more I enjoy "The Next Mrs. Parrish" than the first book in this series. What a great development of the story!

One aspect that particularly stood out to me was the absence of repetitive and drawn-out sections in this sequel. The narrative maintains a sharp focus, keeping the pacing riveting and the twists unpredictable and clever. With each turn of the page, I found myself eagerly anticipating the next development, anxiously hoping that justice would prevail over the cunning adversaries.

From the moment I delved into the story of Amber Patterson Parrish and her quest for a new life after her husband's imprisonment, I was hooked. The plot is intricately woven with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. What I appreciated most was the absence of repetitive or dragged-out sections in this sequel. The pacing is spot-on, propelling the story forward with riveting momentum.

As I followed Amber's journey, I found myself crossing my fingers and holding my breath, hoping against hope that justice would prevail in the face of her adversaries. The anticipation reached a fever pitch, leaving me on the edge of my seat and reaching for another bowl of popcorn (or three) to calm my nerves.

And oh, the ending! It was so deliciously satisfying that it left me laughing with sheer delight. It's rare to come across a conclusion that ties up loose ends so neatly while still leaving room for a lingering sense of anticipation.

However, if I were to nitpick, the extensive focus on business part of the plot didn't hold my interest as much as other elements of the narrative.

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a masterfully crafted thriller that delivers on all fronts. It's smart, well-developed, and expertly executed, making it a must-read for fans of the genre. While it's advisable to read the first book in the series for full context, this sequel stands strong on its own, with enough subtle reminders to refresh your memory.

A great followup to the Last Mrs. Parrish, this picks up with the same characters and some newbies. Suspenseful, hard to put down.

Thank you #partner Penguin Random House audio for this free audiobook in exchange for my honest review!! Thank you also NetGalley and Random House for providing me with the ARC! I finally got around to reading this after loving Book 1, The Last Mrs. Parrish!

I am team Daisy Ann all the way!! She had me worried there for a minute, but I love how her story unfolded.

Ok...so this story felt like a prolonged epilogue, but I get why it was told. We needed to close some chapters for the main characters and let justice win! I found myself speeding to get to the end! It was the ending we all needed!

Excellent mystery. I loved the premise and the surprises throughout. Great character building and plot development.

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine was a solid follow-up, and I really enjoyed it! While it didn’t quite reach the level of the first book in terms of impact, it still offered an entertaining and engaging story. The pacing was brisk, making it a quick and easy read that kept me hooked throughout. The twists, though perhaps not as surprising as in the first novel, were well-executed and added to the suspense. Overall, it was an enjoyable psychological thriller that, while not as gripping as the debut, still delivered a satisfying and fun reading experience.
