The Next Mrs. Parrish is a heart pumping and mind-bending experience. You feel so invested in this family and the twisted dynamics they live. This is not a predictable novel and that’s what keeps the read so exhilarating. At each turn of a chapter, the plot thickens and the characters are outdoing one another. You’re in for quite the ride!

I squealed when I got the email that I was approved for this ARC. I absolutely loved the Last Mrs. Parrish and reread it just so I was completely prepared for this sequel. I also read the prequel, but I'll say that I don't think it's necessary... most of the information from the prequel ended up being explained in the sequel. It was so good! I was shocked at some of the twists and turns. The Next Mrs. Parrish comes out on June 18th and I highly recommend downloading/buying it!

4 stars for me! When I saw that this was coming out I was curious what it could possibly be about since the first book was so good. This book surprised me and took me for a ride! It was thrilling to read all the plotting from each character. I couldn’t believe what I was reading at some points but I also didn’t think I could dislike Amber and Jackson more than I already did. At first I struggled remembering who the ghost from Ambers past was but as the book went on I thought they were a great addition to the story. I’m so happy how the ending came together and as always Team Daphne!

Overall this book was full of twists, plotting, successes and disappointments and characters you love to hate.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for giving me access to this ARC.

Wow. This sequel did not disappoint. Not as good as the first, with a slower start. But the ending made up for it. Jackson was as slimy and diabolical as ever. Amber doesn’t fool you this to around. Daphne sticks up for herself! And Daisy Anne was a nice addition. If you enjoyed the first, give this a go!

Huge thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this book and loved getting more of the story from the first book. This is a very twisty, domestic thriller. There were some plot twists that I didn’t see coming. This book will be a great summer read!

Thank you for allowing me to read this book as an ARC!
I have not read a book by this author that I didn't like and this one is no exception. The story is well written and outlined with the individual chapters being in the different points of view. I loved that this book was a sequel as I already had loved the first one in the series. While I would love another continuation of the Parrish book, it is so well tied up in the end, that another sequel might not be possible. I do hope Liv Constantine will consider it though.
Excellent book/story. 5 🌟

A rebellious Tallulah has Daphne returning to Bishop’s Harbor to rekindle a relationship with Jackson. On arrival it seems that Jackson is a different man than the one Daphne married and left. This story intertwines with Amber and a new character Daisy Ann. We follow Amber being her conniving self, while a scorned Daisy Ann goes on a hunt for justice. This book had my blood boiling with characters so well written they are despicable! A twisty book that ended and caught me by complete surprise.

A well-written, twisty, multi-POV domestic suspense thriller | Highly unlikeable characters abound | The story just didn’t manage to grab me like the Last Mrs. Parrish did, but I had enough interest in the outcome to keep going | The jumps between past and present tense were confusing

4.5 ⭐️ rounding up

WOW 🤯 what a great continuation to this story, I was hooked from the start. With twists and turns that kept me wanting more, I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This story starts off right where the first book ended, diving right back into these toxic characters that you love to hate. Jackson and Amber are nuts, the whole book I was rooting for Daphne and Daisy Ann, wanting them to get their much deserved justice.

Daphne swears she’ll never go back to Bishop Harbor, when her daughter runs away to try and visit her dad, she decided to go back for the summer. Jackson tries to charm Daphne, this time she knows better. Amber is trying to run from the ghosts of her past, it’s a little too late for that though.

I really enjoyed the multiple POV’s as well, seeing things from both the bad guys and good guys prospectives. I loved the ending, karma was definitely at play 😉

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for the eARC!

I liked this book, the writing reminded me of Jackie Collins. I haven't read the first one so now I will have to order that book. Nice work!

I was excited to receive an advanced copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish after devouring The Last Mrs. Parrish! I wasn't sure that I needed more from Bishop's Harbor, but I am glad Liv Constantine wrote it. In the beginning, it was hard for me to get into the book. It took a while for me to figure out and keep track of who was who. About 40% in the book finally picked up, and then I could not put the book down. The quick chapters had me up reading late into the night saying:"Just one more chapter!" I did not see the twist coming at all!

I'm sometimes unsure if I'm going to like a sequel as there can be a lot to live up to from the first. However, I LOVED this one! The Next Mrs. Parrish surpassed my expectations and had me engaged the whole time. The twists and turns kept me on my toes throughout. Just when I thought I knew how it would play out, I was wrong. I would highly recommend reading the prequel first to better understand all of the characters' history. Definitely read if you love a good mystery thriller!

I loved the first books so I had really high hopes for this one. I was a bit let down. I felt that this book was really long, back and forth and hard to follow. Overall the ending shocked me which is normal for Liz Constantine. It could’ve been a bit shorter and I would’ve liked it better. I’d still recommend if you loved her first book in this series.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group, Ballantine for a complimentary copy of this novel!!!

The trio Daphne, Amber, and Jackson are back again in this continuation novel. And once again all three of them have something up their sleeves! Daphne has been in California with her two daughters and mom for a fresh start. Amber has become a well-known socialite and Jackson just being released from jail where he spent time for his tax evasion scandal. However, Amber’s past is coming back to haunt her with a vengeance. In this novel, we are introduced to a very new and interesting character, Daisy Ann! What past does she share with Amber? Will Daisy Ann be able to finally put an end to the scheming and duplicitous Amber and Jackson? Or will Daisy Ann also fall prey to their backstabbing?

Put your seatbelts on, because you’re in for a wild and fast-paced thriller as the sage of Daphne, Amber, and Jackson continue.
The dynamic duo sisters known as Liv Constantine have put together an awesome continuation novel of the tenacious trio!!! You won’t want to miss this!
Available June 18, 2024!

I don't consider myself the target audience for this type of story, but there's a reason I came back to learn more about these characters.

Before I get into it, I want to thank Random House Publishing GroupBallantine | Bantam, the authors, and NetGalley for approving this ARC. As a new reviewer, I did not think I was going to get my hands on this baby, so I was beyond excited about this approval.

The book has gotten high praise, and fans are raving about it, and this is rightfully so. But there is more to this story than the addictive, tortuous plot. Within the dramatic characterization and wild twists, the authors have managed to present a truthful depiction of what it is like to deal with a narcissistic sociopath. At times, I found myself rolling my eyes because some of the scenes were "over the top" and "exaggerated," but then I had to acknowledge how a narcissistic mind works. They're incredibly delusional, like Jackson and Amber.

In this story, Daphne is a survivor. A mother on a healing journey, trying her best to raise her daughters away from her abusive partner. Readers who have dealt with divorcing a narcissist will identify with Daphne as we follow her struggle to meet the emotional needs of her girls and co-parent with the devil. On the other hand, Amber and Jackson's relationship took a turn far away from what they had probably envisioned for themselves. A toxic union that did not hold the weight of all their ambitions and bad choices. While their marriage and wealth are nearly in ruins, these two double down in deceit and schemes, while Daphne is caught in the middle again. 

New characters are introduced with revenge as their motive, adding more spice to the mix. Expect the strings on the mystery board to become quite tangled. Daisy Ann's storyline is like almost taken out of The Real Housewives of Dallas. I swear Birdie and D Ann (see what I did there *wink*wink*) have got to be inspired by the Simmons women, and as a fan of the show, I am loving it. It's such a great addition that brings variety and more intrigue to this successful thriller.

Summer reading is going to be a wild ride with this one. Buckle up Y'all!!!

This book was a nice flesh out of the storyline for The Last Mrs Parrish. I liked that we got to hear more of Daphne’s story, and Amber and Jackson’s too! A perfect summer read!

The Last Mrs Parrish has been a favorite of mine since I read it years ago and I was so excited to read the next chapter…it did not disappoint. I was glad that I read the prequel (The Last Shot) just prior to reading this so those names were fresh in my mind also. There were so many twists and turns throughout this book…and you know it’s not a Liv Constantine without some final, unexpected twists at the end. I absolutely loved the way this wrapped up these story lines.

The last Mrs Parrish was a book we dove deep in in our book club I have here- so much we talked about it for three meetings afterwards and it was the top hit of the year for many.

I was looking forward to this one because I wasn’t expecting anything and for a chapter to remain “closed”. However, I was elated to see this show up on NetGalley!

This continues on with characters we met in the last book, however with even more craziness than before. Super stoked for publishing on this one! Some may consider this an over the top continuance- but I think it adds just the right touch.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc in exchange for my honest review!

If you loved The Last Mrs Parrish you are going to love The Next Mrs Parrish. If you haven’t read the first one where have you been?? One of my favourite thriller books now has a delicious sequel!! I was so excited to learn of this book’s existence and then when I was approved for an early copy I might have done a happy dance 🕺

I knew that this would be a binge worthy read so I made sure ai had plenty of reading time available. I was right, I really didn’t want to stop reading. Being back in the lives of Daphne , Amber and Jackson was just so much fun.

Now the plot. Well, go in blind. Seriously, you know this is going to be crazy. You know that Amber and Jackson are just vile human beings. What people won’t do for money.. wow! it is a whole diff world. There are lies, scheming, revenge, deception and a whole lot of fun. And money, don’t forget money.

Just read this. Simple as that. You know you want to.

Thanks so much to Random House Publishing Ballantine, Bantam for my advanced copy. Publishes on June 18th.

The former Mrs. Parrish, Daphne, is now living on the other coast, probably as far as she could get, from her ex-husband, Jackson. She is now trying to give her daughters, that she shares with Jackson, a new life away from the mansions, country clubs, French classes and nannies. Amber thought she snagged Jackson and is living a life she always dreamed of, but this life is nothing like she thought it would be, and now she wants out.

I read the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, and immediately started reading the sequel (Thank you to NetGalley!!). This is a page turner and you will meet a lot of new characters and learn the true life Amber has led while working her way to become the Next Mrs. Parrish.
