After devouring The Last Mrs. Parrish and loving the twists and turns I was excited to read this sequel. While interesting enough for me to see it to the end I was disappointed. The choices Daphne made in the book infuriated me at times. While some missteps with her character were necessary to carry the story line, she deserved more. The addition of character Daisy Anne and her interwoven story line with Amber is the saving grace. I enjoyed the backstory that supported furthering Amber’s devious and deceptive character building. Worth a read if nothing else is in your TBR pile.

Thank you Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine |Bantam, NetGalley, and the author for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

4.5⭐️

First, thank you to NetGalley & Random House Publishing for this advance reader copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish!

I had somewhat high expectations for this second book and boy did it live up to it! Missed the 5⭐️ mark for me only because it took a good 100 pages or so to get really into it. Once the plot started thickening it was all twists and turns! It was a rush being back in the Bishops Harbor setting with Amber, Daphne and Jackson and I LOVED Daisy Ann’s entry and ties into the story, her character made everything happening all the more intriguing. The perfect follow up I’ll be recommending to everyone who loved The Last Mrs Parrish!

Make sure to pre-order or grab it on pub day June 18th!!!

Yay! I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish so I was beyond thrilled to receive an ARC, #netgalley, of The Next Mrs. Parrish! A propulsive, twisty wild ride; a bit far fetched but definitely satisfying! A great summer read!

WOW, this was a great thriller! I loved the first book so i was highly anticipating this release and it did not disappoint. Liv Constantine’s writing really shines through in this book. The twists and turns really got me and I’m someone who rarely gets shocked by twists in other books! Great installment for this series!! Pick this up on release day!!

I appreciate the opportunity to read this early copy - thank you!
I read “The Last Mrs. Parrish” a couple years ago, and appreciated the memory refresh that this book included. While I really enjoyed TLMP, this one unfortunately didn’t deliver.
The dialogue felt clunky and awkward at times, with long repetitive internal monologues. Daisy Ann’s frequent use of cheesy stereotypical southern sayings (“this ain’t my first rodeo,” “now hold your horses,” etc.) was cringey and forced.
I’m able to overlook some plot holes or character inconsistencies for the sake of the thrill or pacing, but there were just far too many in this one.

I always wondered what happened to Amber in The Last Mrs. Parrish, and this book gave me all the juicy details I needed! I Love every minute of this book. I was hooked on the first page! Thank you for a copy of this book! Wonderful, just wonderful!

WOW…Holy Shit…
I’m steel reeling from this book!
I was beyond excited to get to read this book thru NetGalley. The last Mrs Parrish is one of my top 3 my favorite books, and this one is just as good!
I hate that most of the time in books I can see things coming.. I promise you, you won’t see these things coming! I spent a good amount of time picking my jaw up off of the floor while reading this book. So many twists and turns! I enjoyed getting to know new characters as well. I’m scared to say too much in fear of spoiling anything for future reader’s BUT I will say you HAVE to read this book!!!

I was excited to see where The Next Mrs. Parrish would take us after the twisty, turning, completely entertaining The Other Mrs. Parrish left us. The Other Mrs. Parrish knocked it out of the park for me and checked all of my domestic thriller novel boxes. The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint. Amber and Jackson continue to remain characters that you love to hate and the addition of Daisy Ann added a new layer that kept the story fresh while we got some backstory that was only alluded to in the first book. This one is a must read for lovers of a solid domestic thriller.

Stressful, messy and entertaining. Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for early access to this book! i had trouble keeping track of the messy details but still was a fun read

I had high hopes for this sequel after thoroughly enjoying 'The Last Mrs. Parrish,' but unfortunately, it was quite a letdown. The pacing felt off, and the interactions and connections between characters were unconvincing and downright cringey at times. Despite some promising early reviews that convinced me to keep reading, in my opinion, the book never improved.. It seems this was a rushed follow-up catering to TikTok demand rather than quality. Although this book wasn't to my liking, I'm open to reading future works by the author, hoping they are more inspired and less influenced by fan fare.

This book did not disappoint. It picked up right where the previous book The Last Mrs. Parrish left off. This book is told in three different POV with a surprise POV from a different character at the end. I enjoyed seeing the different perspectives and storyline's; however, at times the book didn’t flow. This was a good read but I highly recommend reading the prequel first so you can understand what is going on in this book. Based on the ending it definitely opens up the possibility for another book.

Three words: I LOVED IT! The authors never let me down. We find that Jackson and Amber, the couple who deserve each other, are still married. And that's because Jackson has spent most of the time in jail. When Jerky Jackson is released, he wants evil Amber out of the picture. He makes a deal with Amber to help him get Daphne back. He has some strange ideas on putting his plan into action. Naturally, I was rooting for Daphne throughout the pages and at times, I was frustrated with how clueless she could be. Daisy Ann was a welcome addition, and I loved her storyline. I predict that this will be THE book of the Summer.

Liv Constantine books NEVER disappoint. I was so excited to get approved for this one!
I loved the Last Mrs. Parrish and this one was even better in my opinion. I devoured this gem.

The story moves quickly from the beginning and throughout, there are so many twists & turns that keep you engaged. Great characters & an incredible ending made this a 5 star read for me.

Thank you to NetGalley & Random House Publishing Group Ballantine.

The follow up we all have been waiting for!! In all honesty, this is not my typical genre, but I am never disappointed by Liv. Constantine! The first book was an instant hit for all of us at the office. I still can't believe I was given an ARC copy and it was SO treasured! Re read book one, then devour this gem!

I couldn’t contain my excitement or hit request on an advanced copy as quickly as I did when I saw Liv Constantine had written The Next Mrs. Parrish, a sequel to the Last Mrs. Parrish.

I love a classic domestic thriller and love everything that Liv Constantine writes- so I knew I was going to love The Next Mrs. Parrish. In her unputdownable writing style I devoured this book in one sitting!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

3.5 ⭐️

What I’ve learned about Liv Constantine books is that you have to go into it knowing it’s going to be utterly ridiculous 😅 I read the first Mrs. Parrish book a few years ago when it came out, and was lucky enough to get this one on NetGalley, so I knew I would finish the set. While I enjoyed this and it was certainly a very entertaining revenge fantasy sort of thriller told from several women’s perspectives, it certainly had some eyeroll moments where completely unrealistic things went down.

However, I’m still glad I read it and I did get a kick out of some of the parts at the end. Nothing special, but enjoyable enough.

Having read the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, I was excited to read the sequel and see what became of these characters.
Amber is as conniving as ever! Could Jackson really have changed? Does Daphne find happiness at last?
You'll have to read this fast paced thriller to find out. I read it in 2 days.
The ending is open for interpretation as in, Is this really the end or can there be more to the story?
I also went back and read the prequel, "The First Shot" to better understand the character of Daisy Ann and how she tied into the story.
I would recommend this book if you like domestic thrillers and are looking for a quick entertaining read.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

What a ride!!! This book had so many twists!! Couldn't put it down til I knew what was going on. Love to hate some characters....great ending to the books..I enjoyed reading this.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the complementary ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed The Last Mrs Parrish. And I was surprised that there was going to be a sequel since the 1st book provided us with closure. However I was still excited to read this book. I was very disappointed. The only likable character was the youngest daughter Bella. It was impossible to root for anyone in this story and I found myself rolling my eyes and trying to figure out who I hated the most. Daphnes character in this story came off as weak and gullible. The decisions she kept making throughout the book had me questioning if this was the same woman from the 1st book. I kept waiting for the lemonade cup that Daphne stashed into her bag to make an appearance again to clear her name. But nope, that was just word vomit left to fill the pages. The multiple POVs and the excessive plot twists were just too much. And the ending….lets just introduce this red glasses wearing thug into the last few pages.

I’ll give this author another try because I did really enjoy the 1st book from this series as well as the prequel. But it should have stopped there.
