Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. It kept twisting and turning and just when you thought you had it figured out, it would twist again. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

Thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, the author, and NetGalley for the free gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish and was excited to hear that there was a sequel with the same crazy toxic delusional characters. The first one didn't necessarily end on a cliff hanger, but the way things picked back up in each of the story lines was so interesting. The author does a really good job of recapping what happened in the first book, so you are not completely lost when you read.

The characters are all seriously so hatable and toxic, but that is the best part of the book, which some people may not love. I enjoyed the unrealistic nature of all the twists and turns, and I love a book about crazy rich people who are bored and out to get each other.

I am loving these books! They get to your emotions and get you riled up and loving the characters and hating the characters and gets you frustrated and angry and all the emotions you can feel. I flew through the first book and loved it. Then I had to read the prequal. Then anxiously awaited the next step in the story was hooked. If you want to read a book that messes with your emotions and makes you angry and happy at the same time this is a book for you!

This was a fun sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. I enjoy a well written domestic suspense story, and this one did not disappoint (for the most part). The story really pulled me in through multiple POVs. I was not a fan of the ending for Jackson, although it was well deserved.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for sharing this digital ARC with me in exchange for my honest review.

Although this is a follow-up to The Last Mrs. Parrish, it stands just fine on its own as a suspense novel. The twists and turns are similar to the first installment, with more players in the game. I like the writing style and the character quirks. The suspense worked for me. I did find myself, if not necessarily liking the characters, certainly hoping for one or two of them to come out victorious in the end. It was a quick read that kept me turning pages to see what would happen and had a few very tense moments. This would make a great read to get you out of a slump.

I loved the first installment of this series by Liv Constantine and was so excited to see The Next Mrs. Parrish! I hope there's another book coming out soon because I loved the writing and characters!

After obsessing over The Last Mrs. Parrish I was excited to get my hands on the follow up. Since there was almost a 7 year gap I went ahead and reread book 1 before diving into The Next Mrs. Parrish. Oh how I love to hate Amber, I’m rooting for her to just be a snake and cause drama even if it hurts Daphne. I absolutely love the characters, multiple POVs, and the drama! However,I felt that maybe too much time has passed between books in the series.
I felt that for how conniving Amber was in book one she seemed a little dense/oblivious in book two. In book 1 I felt that Daphne was a mastermind and in book two she was constantly allowing herself to be the victim and be manipulated. I still enjoyed the book but I felt that the character development just wasn’t there for me. If anything they both took a giant step back.

Thank you to Bantam, Random House Publishing, Liv Constantine, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was sooooooooooooo excited to approved for this book! I loved the first book, type of reading I needed to read it constantly, in between appts, during my lunch, sneaking a chapter at my desk when I could type loved. This book fell short. I don't know why they made a sequel in the first place, I thought the ending of the first book was more than enough closure so this book just didn't live up to the hype and I was let down. Should've just ended it with the first book unfortunately.

Jackson Parrish is released from prison and finds out his jewel stash was found by Amber. Jackson uses Amber to try and get Daphne back and his two daughters. Lots going on in this book. Love this author

I remembered being captivated by her first read. This was a bit of a stretch in imagination honestly. the events were so shocking and suspenseful. She's a master storyteller and has the most intricate plots. The author really outdid herself in this fast-paced plot, filled with many twists and turns. I felt like it was a satisfying end!

Looking for a book to take with you on vacation ? This is a great one, although you might not put it down and be deemed antisocial by your family! I was excited to read this novel because I read and enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish and The First Shot (novella on audible). I definitely recommend reading both of these prior to this one. The story begins with a conwoman that seems to always get her way, destroying families with a blink of an eye for her own personal gain. However, not everyone is who they are cracked up to be and it isn't as smooth sailing as she thought it would be.
I was inspired to read this because I was invested in the characters and really wanted to see what would transpire next. Similarly to the other books, I began to respond to my reading as if I was there too .. putting my head in my hand or yelling no, don't do that! I found myself getting more frustrated with this book because I was already pretty well acquainted with all of the players, knowing what they were capable of. Despite that, this is not a book to be missed. You have to find out what happens! If you loved The Senator's Wife (which is written by the same author), The Housemaid, or movie A Simple Favor, you should definitely give this book a try. Thanks to Penguin Random House and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This one fell a bit short for me. Just seemed a bit much and not as believable. I do appreciate the arc in exchange of an honest review, however,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

it was a thrilling and fast-paced read that kept me hooked. The unexpected twists and turns kept me on edge, and I was happy to see some intriguing plot threads explored further. It had plenty of surprises to keep things exciting!
Thank you for the E-ARC!

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine had an intriguing setup and moments of suspense, but overall, it fell a bit flat for me. While the main plot was compelling, some of the outer storylines felt unnecessary and detracted from the core narrative. These subplots didn’t add much to the story and made the pacing feel uneven at times. The characters had potential, but I found it hard to connect with them, which made it difficult to stay fully engaged. Despite these issues, there were still some twists that kept me curious. It’s an okay read, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

This book was a great sequel to the Last Mrs. Parrish. I really enjoyed revisiting the characters from the previous novel and loved the twists and the ending!! Definitely worth the read!!

The claws came out in this book and I was here for the drama! Daphne and Amber were back, as well as a newbie, Daisy Ann who was tied to Amber in the past. The three women are all intertwined and the authors created a compelling plot with a twist or two. All the adult characters, including Mr. Jackson Parrish, were ones I loved to hate! Thank you to Random House-Ballentine for an electronic copy to read and provide my honest thoughts.

An enjoyable, interesting follow-up to the amazing The Last Mrs. Parrish. A few of the details were a bit far-fetched and unbelievable, but overall, an enjoyable and nerve-wracking page-turner.

The Next Mrs. Parish picks up right where its predecessor left off, and it was a thrilling experience revisiting the characters and diving deeper into the twisted world of lies, betrayal, and murder. The plot is fast-paced, with suspense building at every turn, keeping you hooked from beginning to end.

One of the best parts of this sequel is how it develops the characters further. I found myself absolutely hating Amber and Jackson even more than I did in the first book, which speaks to how effectively the author crafts their toxicity and deceit. On the flip side, I was fully rooting for Daphne, whose complexity as a character grew significantly in this installment. Her journey is filled with twists, and I found myself cheering her on as the tension escalated.

The pacing is quick, making it a perfect read for those who want a suspenseful and engaging story that doesn't slow down. The twists and turns keep you guessing, and while some might find parts predictable, I appreciated the way the story unfolded.

Overall, The Next Mrs. Parish is a solid 4-star read. It delivers on the suspense and drama that fans of the genre crave. Thanks to NetGalley for providing the ARC!

In general I liked this book but I think it was a little farfetched for a sequel. Daphne infuriated me by not being open and honest with her children. I think if she had just been communicative a lot of this heartache could have been avoided.
