This was an excellent continuation of "The Last Mrs. Parrish." I had great expectations for this book because I loved the first one so much and missed the major twist. I didn't feel let down.

Approximately a year has passed since the first book ended. Although the reader may hope for Daphne to have a happily ever after, her older daughter is not experiencing that. Trying to improve her daughter's mental health, she spends the summertime back in Connecticut. Like the previous book, this one also relates Amber's story in addition to Daphne's. But Daisy Ann, a brand-new character, is also introduced to us in this novel. She was a wonderful complement, and I delighted in determining her role in the narrative.


I loved the drama and intensity in the novel, which was yet another excellent thriller. It is essential reading, particularly for those who liked the first novel. The characters were fascinating to learn more about, and Amber's past caught my attention. Brilliant thriller number two from Liv Constantine!

For the ARC, we are grateful to Bantam/Random House Publishing and NetGalley.

This dynamic duo sure can bring the crazy and they do it again with this story! I had forgotten just how crazy the current Parrishes were and how sane Daphne was. Daphne and her girls are living their lives in California away from Jackson and his controlling ways only to be pulled back East into his orbit. The twists and turns commence and crazy Amber brings her own brand of crazy into the story and the authors introduce Daisy Ann who has a tie into Amber. A super fun story and so happy to have read an early copy! Thank you NetGalley! 4.5 stars!

This sequel catches back up with Amber, Daphne, and the gang and how their lives are going roughly 2 years after the events in The Last Mrs. Parrish.

I really had high hopes for the sequel of one of my favorite books and I was not disappointed. There were some parts that read a little repetitive to me, but I think that was partially because I went ahead and read the previous books again to refresh my memory.

These characters are some that I love to hate. The story was intricate and engaging. It was really hard to put down. I said multiple times to my husband that this book had me on edge and I needed to know how it ended immediately! Jackson and Amber will forever be some of the worst people that have ever been created.

Overall, a really fun read and a great end to this series!

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I did not think this book could be more twisty than the first, but I was dead wrong! A MUST read for thriller fans! Gave me nightmares!

3.5/5 rounding to 4 stars

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and have read all of Liv Constantine’s books.
The excitement I had for this books was crazy.

However, it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The ending was so good. The twists and turns at the end really saved the book for me. Amber and Jackson get what they deserve.
Jackson going after Daphne trying to get her kids just didn’t sit right with me. It was definitely expected of the character but I didn’t love those parts. I also really wanted Daphne to be smarter than that.

Overall, would still recommend the book. I think it closes the Parrish chapters very well. And seeing Jackson and Amber get what they deserve is so satisfying. If there’s a third book would love to see Amber sitting in a jail cell coming bad down to earth.

Can a leopard(s) change its spots? That is the big question. Daphne hoped she put the Jackson/Amber drama behind her and has moved on. But things are never what they seem. This books picks up where the last one left off, with not as much disturbing behavior as the first one. Again, the twists and turns keep coming with new characters entering the mix, and the storylines merge seamlessly with a somewhat perfect ending! Not as much character development as in the first, all characters have shown who they are and do not disappoint. This was a total guilty pleasure read for me. I couldn’t put it down.

Thanks to Random House for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.

It's always nice to revisit familiar characters and I was excited to receive this arc from netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoyed this book about the same as I did the first one and I found myself rooting for the "good" guy as usual. This was an enjoyable read and I am interested to see what Constantine does next!

I’m so glad we got to follow up with all of these characters after the first book! This book had me guessing til the very end of who could be in that car waiting for Amber. I’m so glad she’s finally getting hers because this character might be one of my least favorite ever written. And Jackson of course finally getting what he deserved! Daphne and the girls get to live out their happy ending.

I love this series so much. I need more!

When I found out there was going to be a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, I knew immediately that I needed to get my hands on an ARC. Thanks to Berkely and NetGalley - they made that dream come true lol.

This book was so good y'all. An amazing wrap-up to Daphne and Amber's stories. Also, I loved the new character introduced in this one. She was so badass! What I liked most was that Daphne was able to learn from her past and not let Jackson ruin her life and save her daughters from any future pain.

I said this after reading LMP - MEN AIN'T SHIT!!! & Amber got what she deserved. She sucks.

I was never bored reading this, I couldn't put it down!

I enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish and felt the story was tied up nicely. I was surprised (and honestly excited) to see a sequel. For some reason, I really enjoy reading thrillers about people I cannot stand and that is Amber and Jackson Parrish. I was glad to see Daphne was back despite her moving away at the end of the first book. Daphne had some redeeming qualities that made her more likeable. In this book, Daisy Ann, a jeweler, is added to the mix. At first I was skeptical about how well she would fit into this femme fatale type thriller but her character was woven into the story well. Overall, I enjoyed this sequel but did not enjoy it as much as the first one. I did appreciate how well the story wraps up with no loose ends to be disappointed by.

The Last Mrs. Parrish was smashing! From the start the reader questions what the title might mean? Previous Mrs. Parrish? Or the next Mrs. Parrish, whomever she might be... tied into an ending for Jackson?

Like so many who love this psychological genre, one can easily feel as though they know what is best for the characters. I felt panic in my chest throughout many chapters. (OK fine, I squeal screamed at points). However, the magnificent ending rocked me and made me realize that playing it safe isn't playing at all.

Excellent work!

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity!

Liv Constantine is one of my all time favorite psychological thriller authors! They write such amazing twists and turns and I never see it coming! The Next Mrs. Parrish is the the third book in the Mrs. Parrish series and it will be available on June 18th! This collection of characters are so well written and developed. From beginning to end, I had doubts about who to trust and where things would end up, but I was so delighted with the ending. I love the examination of revenge vs. justice. What’s justice and what is just revenge? Is there a difference? Can things be justified as “ok” if they are for the greater good? Phew! This book made me think!! I’d love to see just ONE MORE BOOK in this series to see what happens to Daisy Ann, Daphne, the girls and, of course, Amber.

Oh my gosh I loved this book so much!! I loved the first book so I was worried I wouldn’t care for this one, but this exceeded my expectations! There were so many twists and turns, such a fun and easy read!! If you enjoyed the first one and how it was written, you will love this one! Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

If you are a fan of Liv Constantine, you will enjoy this. I didn’t find it quite as thrilling or exciting as its predecessor, but this sequel captured my attention (although I found it a bit predictable). Certainly good for a beach read this summer, but not the most groundbreaking thriller. More plot, driven than character driven, which is what we come to Liv Constantine for!

3.75*

The first book of this series was one of a few that got me back into reading several years ago, so I was pumped to get approved for the sequel on Netgalley.

There are three POVs- Amber, the current wife, Daphne the ex wife and Daisy Ann who is a new character. The vibes of rich people behaving badly and toxic marriages are very similar to the first book. Jackson is extremely controlling toward Daphne and their two daughters. Amber and Jackson are on the outs and he is trying to win Daphne back by trying to take the children away from her.

This was a wild ride, but I think I still preferred the first book because I didn't care much for the third character they introduced of Daisy Ann. I would have preferred if they just stuck to the original characters. Still an interesting read.

I read The First Mrs. Parrish back when it first came out and enjoyed it. (I’m a sucker for domestic thrillers.) I have to say I enjoyed the sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish, even more. Amber and Jackson are just as vile and despicable as ever, and some of Daphne’s choices in this book truly stressed me out. I loved the introduction of Daisy Ann and discovering the connections between the three women. There were several twists toward the end that I did NOT see coming. I would absolutely recommend adding this to your summer TBR.

I didn’t expect to love this book so much! I flew through it in one day. The characters are so emotion-provoking in the best way. I loved the twists and I gasped more than once! A fabulous sequel.

Wowwwww. This was so good! Everyone was telling me about it so I just had to check it out

Even though I hate these characters, I almost didn’t want to read this book because of how much I hate them, but I gave them a chance anyway and I’m glad I did. This was so good and the ending was so freaking great. I can’t believe it there better be another one. It was gripping and very well written and not at all predictable

Liv Constantine, they have done it again and I thought this one was beyond phenomenal. I’m so happy I got approved for this ARC because I don’t think I would have discovered this amazing series. The twists after twists in this book was outstanding and this one was a page turner. I loved that we got to have Daisy Ann from First Shot in this book and she was such an easy character to fall in love with. I didn’t know who to root for in this book, but Daphne will forever be my favorite. Honestly I didn’t want this book to end.

The Next Mrs. Parrish

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For the fans of The Last Mrs. Parrish, the story picks up right where it left off. Hold on for a wild ride as there are a lot of cogs in the wheel as new characters are introduced. We learn how truly deceptive both Amber and Jackson can be and how far Daphne will go to keep her children safe, at all costs. If you loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, this one doesn’t disappoint! To say I have never loathed characters like Jackson and Amber would be an understatement! A solid thriller with twist and turns with every chapter.
Thank you @netgalley and @randomhouse for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
