A sequel to my favorite book?!?! I died!!!! In my opinion, Amber is more of a shit stirrer than ever. I enjoyed meeting Daisy, I felt like she fit in quite well to the story. I liked the overall narrative coming from the three different people, it helped put things into perspective as a reader.

A gripping follow-up to "The Last Mrs. Parrish", this story immediately pulls you in and keeps you guessing until the last page. I couldn't wait to see how the story unfolded and hoped for a fitting ending to this twisty story-and the author delivered. The story is told from multiple points of view-some characters readers will love, and others they will love to hate. I would recommend this book!

Liv Constantine brings you back into the world of Daphne, Amber, and Jackson with a new plot and plenty of twists and turns. After starting her new quite life in California, Daphne has to learn how to co-parent with her psychopathic ex. Amber is plotting her next steps now that her "perfect" life and marriage are not what they seemed. And Jackson is plotting, like always.

The addition of new characters and backstories help flesh out this new development.

I was impressed with how the authors were able to bring new life to the characters and the story after The Last Mrs. Parrish. The twists and turns were fun and unpredictable.

While I enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish more, this was a fun ride.

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC.

I was excited for this sequel as I really enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish. I was curious how Amber and Daphne could ever be involved in each-other's lives again after the ending of the first book. The beginning of the book was a bit tough for me to get through, as other reviewers have mentioned - Who in their right mind would take their kids back into that circle/town/abuse?!?! It was a bit too far fetched for me as a mother, but I trudged on and eventually got curious enough to want to keep going. While it was an enjoyable enough read, it was not as good as the first (hard to recreate that twist and chemistry between Daphne and Amber as they interact virtually none in this book). The new characters (Daisy Ann) felt a bit forced as a connection between Amber/Jackson/Daphne and that ending was wrapped up a little too quickly in a bow. It was just a bit too unbelievable, chaotic, and disjointed for me to give 4 stars. If you absolutely loved the first book- I think it is still worth a read.

As much as I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, I was a bit underwhelmed with the sequel. It's suspenseful but not necessarily thrilling.

While there are a few twists, the first 70% really dragged on for me. I do think if you read TLMP and want a glimpse into where Amber, Daphne and Jackson ended up, you'll want to read this.

Just as good as the first book. I don’t know how many times my jaw dropped. So many twists and turns and betrayals. I really enjoyed this book and sped through it so quickly. It picks up a bit after the first book with Daphne and the kids in California, Jackson and Amber still legally married with their son Jax, but then we get a new player named Daisy Ann. At first, I was wondering what she had to do with the story, but then we see her meet Amber and why she was introduced to us. I really enjoyed adding Daisy Ann to the mix. Her story helps bring justice. I really hated Jackson and Amber. I couldn’t believe that Tallulah sided with Jackson. I didnt want to put this book down. It was a really enjoyable read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Where to begin?! I absolutely LOVED The Next Mrs Parrish and always recommend it when someone needs a good book! However, this sequel had a very
slow build and was difficult to get into. I didn’t particularly enjoy Daisy Ann’s chapters, although she does play a crucial role to the story. Jackson, while still twisted as before, seemed far more tame.

Daphne has moved on with her live with the girls, and Amber is trying her best to move on with hers. Until Jackson resurfaces and goes back to his old ways. Unbeknownst to each person, they have all struck a deal with Daisy Ann so that they get what they deserve. The ending felt like a surprise and a cliffhanger that leaves me wanting to hear more— I still have questions!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for letting me read and review this book!

I could not get into this novel, despite loving the first Mrs. Parrish book. I strongly dislike novels where a character’s sole existence within a story is to torment another one, particularly if the agitator is male. Jackson is just abhorrent, and instead of being sort of entertaining this time, Amber is just as bad. I stopped reading at 62%. I’m sure I am the minority here and the book will sell well since the first one was so well loved.

I really enjoyed “The Last Mrs. Parrish” and was so excited to see that a new sequel was being published! I was very satisfied with the ending of the first book, but I’m always happy to revisit characters. I love the continuation and connection with characters you’ve enjoyed reading. I know there is a short novella that precedes this sequel, but I did not read it. I did not affect my ability to quickly get to know the new character. Daisy Ann is skillfully woven into this sequel and I enjoyed her story just as much as Daphne. The pacing in this book is quick and there is never a slow moment. The ending was perfection and if I thought I was satisfied with the first book’s ending, this one takes the award.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bantam for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you for the early release! I was very excited to read this, especially coming off of the first book! I did however, feel as though this book did not live up the first book's hype. There was definitely a lot of twists, but overall I was a bit disappointed in this book. There were often times that I felt as though some of the things were a bit predictable. Overall, a nice compliment to the first book and will definitely keep you engaged, but I wouldn't expect it to be quite as good as the first.

Daphne and Amber are back and this book picks up right where the first book left off. We also meet Daisy Ann, who is my favorite character. The chapters alternate between each FMC and sometimes you’re left on a cliff hanger which made me want to speed read this book to figure out what would happen next. The beginning was a little slow for me but after about 15% I was hooked. Avoiding any spoilers, I think this was a great sequel! The drama 🤌🏼 The scheming 🤌🏼 The revenge 🤌🏼 All amazing! The drama is ridiculous and sometimes farfetched but that’s why I’ve loved this series. There’s always so many twists and turns! And the ending had me laughing an evil laugh, everyone got what they deserved.

Thank you Random House, Liv Constantine and NetGalley for the ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for a fair review. I was thrilled when I saw Liv Constantine was working on a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. That said, I had no idea where the story would go as I felt the first book had a pretty solid ending.

I loved The Next Mrs. Parrish just as much as the first book. Jackson and Amber are just as evil and manipulative as ever. I truthfully do not think I’ve ever read a book that featured a character I despised more. As the sequel begins, Jackson is released from prison and Amber fears their dwindling bank account will prevent her from living the life she deserves. After Amber finds diamonds on her husband’s boat, she cooks up a plan to make bank and leave Jackson for good. When Jackson catches her red handed, Amber is forced to help Jackson bring Daphne back into his life. Poor Daphne!

The reader is also introduced to a new character named Daisy Ann. Daisy Ann’s father is Amber’s former husband. Daisy Ann is convinced Amber killed her father, and why would anyone think otherwise? Daisy Ann is out for revenge, but I couldn’t tell if I liked her or not until the very end of the book.

If you love a story with lies, revenge, and deception, this book is for you. It was an easy four stars for me. I highly recommend it!

"You always remember your first......................................
...............thriller!"

I was so excited for this sequel since the moment I heard chatter about it as The Last Mrs. Parrish introduced me & hooked me to this genre. I remember being obsessed with the book when it came out and I recommended it to everyone. Unfortunately, that is not the case with the sequel which completely fell flat. Aside from Daphne and her friend Meredith, none of the characters seem real nor are any likeable...not even in a love to hate kinda way. If this was the first book. I would not be interested in a prequel or a sequel. In fact, I had to force myself to finish reading it for the purposes of
this review and because I owed it to the original book. But I was very tempted to give up. I didn't care how it ended.

Liv Constantine's books have been hit or miss since The Last Mrs. Parrish. I stopped reading The Senators Wife towards the end because it was ridiculous and again, I didn't care. Hopefully they'll find their groove again and deliver another masterpiece like The Last Mrs Parrish.

Having read the Last Mrs. Parrish several years ago, I found the Next Mrs.Parrish a delightful, seductive and complete stand alone novel from the first one written by the author. So embarking on this new story, Revenge was the leading chararacteristic of frankly all the characters as they sought to regain their proper positions and relationships with each other. The story is well told as you become reacquainted with Daphne, the former Mrs. Parrish and Amber the current Mrs. Parrish. Despite the affluence of all the characters, no one is content with what they have. Revenge is divine and none of the characters miss any tricks in this fast moving summer escape. Surprises along the way, but of course Sweet Revenge is the prize each protagonist hopes to win.

Woah, woah, woahhhhh! The Next Mrs. Parrish brought me back into reading years ago, and The Last Mrs. Parrish will keep me reading anything Liv Constantine writes!

The array of emotions I felt in this book: hope, disgust, anxiety, murderous, to elated and happy!

My favorite character in this book is Daisy Ann. She is a strong, independent mother and business owner who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her father’s death.

If I could give it more than five stars I would!

P.S. I will hate Jackson Parrish until my dying day.

The follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish finds us with Amber visiting her husband Jackson in jail, and Daphne and the girls living in California. The girls miss their dad and Daphne agrees to take them to CT for the summer to visit. Daisy Ann, a new character from Amber’s past is also introduced to us.

I’m sorry I can’t understand how a woman who went through so much psychological and physical trauma in her marriage with Jackson (in the first book) could agree to expose her children to him again. If I didn’t have to review this book I would’ve just stopped at 40% because I was so annoyed at the turn of events. What these very unlikeable characters (Amber and Jackson) getaway with is infuriating. I am glad I didn’t stop reading because I really needed to see how the drama ends between these characters. Definitely read if you read the first one and enjoyed it.

While I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Mrs Parrish, this one did not deliver. Everything was incredibly far-fetched and hokey, which was disappointing as I was really looking forward to this. While I liked the introduction of a new perspective (Daisy Ann), it all felt a little too soap opera-y. During a verbal altercation, one character pokes the other woman as she speaks. Later, a character lures another character to meet her by pretending he had one a Visa gift card. It just all felt rushed, and I couldn’t suspend belief. That said, I very much appreciate the ARC from NetGalley, Liz Constantine, and Bantam.

Wow. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and I have to admit, this book is one of the best I’ve read this year. It had me almost yelling ready to throw my kindle at least 3 times and then cheering at points as well. There was a bit of storyline that was hard to believe at a couple points, but overall it didn’t really matter. Several great twists with most catching me off guard. I loved it and definitely recommend. 5 Stars.

A highly anticipated sequel for me. As the situation usually is, the second didn’t QUITE live up to the first.

I just cant stand the “she’s crazy” gaslighting and manipulation in stories. I get it’s necessary for the story and I knew I’d be satisfied at the end, but the first 75% just made me SO ANGRY.

The original is one of my favorite thrillers of all time. I wish it was left alone. 🙈

That being said, I liked the new characters and liked the ending!

Thank you to Net Galley, Liv Constantine for this ARC. I didn’t love the last Mrs Parrish because the characters were so difficult to like. I have to say having already known who they were, I enjoyed this sequel. It was an interesting twist that brings Daphne, Jackson and Amber back in each others worlds. The final 3rd of the book I absolutely could not put down and was on the edge of my seat to find out if Daphne would make it out with the girls. I am very interested if there will be another book continuing the story.
