I first read a book by Liv Constantine when I found The Last Mrs. Parrish in a used bookstore. I was hooked by their writing and have since read all of their books. They are quick reading books that keep you intrigued as to what could happen next. I was excited for the chance to read The Next Mrs. Parrish thanks to Net Galley and Random House Publishing. The main character Jackson is a sociopath. He is in prison for tax fraud. He manipulates women by supposedly loving them yet threatening them. Daphne is the first Mrs Parrish who flees with their two daughters after their divorce. Amber is the next much younger wife who like Jackson is a con artist. Daisy Ann is the third woman who you think how does she connect to the story. It’s hard to tell the plot without giving away spoilers. It’s the kind of book to just relax and enjoy after reading a boring 500 page book for your book club. So many twists and turns! Wow!

The Next Mrs. Parrish was an exciting thriller full of unexpected twists and turns. I have not read The First Shot novella, but wish I would have so I was more familiar with Amber’s backstory because this book refers to her past quite a bit.

I enjoyed having each character’s POV throughout the story and how we seamlessly transitioned from one to the next.

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book and loved the way the story came together at the end, but felt it was a bit of a slower pace than I would have liked.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, and the authors for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Publication date: June 18, 2024.

The story picks right back up where The Last Mrs. Parrish ends. With many twists and turns it turned out to be a great book!
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC

Daphne, Amber and Jackson are back. I was beyond thrilled to see where their lives would go. This time we have a three way revenge plan going on with help from Daisy, who has her own agenda. At times a little too predictable but a nice conclusion.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC, always a pleasure to give back my opinion.

I absolutely love Liv Consantine and their books. The Next Mrs. Parrish doesn't compare to the first one (The Last Mrs. Parrish) but I still enjoyed it. Some parts were a bit slow and I wanted to scream at the characters "WHY?!?!?!" The stupid behavior irritated me for a good chunk of the book. I would say it was suspenseful but not in the what will happen next sense. This book was somewhat predictable regarding the ending and how things turned out. I'd say stressed is a better way to describe my emotions when reading this. My stomach was in knots and I just had to get to the conclusion. I would recommend reading the first book and even the prequel before reading this book. It would be good as a standalone too but understanding the back story elevates this one.

I can’t say why exactly but the characters in this book ALL annoyed me so much this time around. There’s so many twists and turns that left me feeling like “when will it ever end?”

I LOVED the first book, didn’t read the novella, and didn’t love this one but liked it enough to keep reading. I guess the thing for me is The Last Mrs Parrish didn’t seem like a book that needed a sequel. But I’m glad this one ends the way it does.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me early access to this title in exchange for my honest review.

4.5⭐️
I read this in ONE day!! I couldn’t put it down! The suspense had me holding my breath!

Since the ending of The Last Mrs Parrish, I have been so excited to see where the authors would take the story, hopeful that the sequel would be as great as the original. Well, the authors definitely delivered!

The story starts as Jackson has served his prison time and has come home to Amber and Jax. Daphne has moved her and the girls to Cali, and she is trying to move on in her life. We quickly find out that Amber and Jackson are divorcing. Daphne is having trouble convincing Tallulah that she has their best interest at heart by keeping them from their dad. She makes the difficult decision to go back to CT for the summer so the girls can see their dad. What comes next is a wild roller coaster and suspenseful tale of manipulation, conniving and deceit as Jackson tries to get Daphne and his girls back.

The authors are so great at developing the characters. I literally despised Jackson and Amber and truly was not happy with Daphne through most of the book! I really loved the side story and the character of Daisy Ann. She was definitely someone I would want to be friends with! I had a perfect clear picture in my head of what she looked like and how she acted. And I’m so glad she didn’t end up being another evil character! Also have to love the great friend that is Meredith!

I had read some early reviews that they should have just ended it after the first book but I highly disagree!! The twists and turns were frequent and unpredictable. The ending was satisfying and sad at the same time. Overall it was a great story that I couldn’t wait to get to each next chapter. Highly recommend.

(Thank you to the Authors and to RandomHouse for providing me with an advanced copy via NetGalley. )

The last Mrs. Parrish is a top domestic thriller for me so imagine my glee when I saw there was a sequel!

Justice is served, plot lines are closed, and we have the perfect ending for our Bishop Harbor characters.

This was a quick paced, three way cat and mouse chasing, twisty page turner that I binged in less than 24hrs.

I’d read a third one!

I reread the first book, so I would remember the characters, twists, etc. I initially gave the first book four stars, but after rereading, I gave it 5 stars because I appreciated the twists so much more. The sequel was even better than the first! I have read a lot of books in this genre since I originally read the first book and I really have a better understanding of what makes a good thriller/mystery to me. This twists and turns in this book were amazing! I loved Daisy as a character and how she initially seemed like a side plot. However, the way she was weaved into the story with Daphne and Jackson. I assumed Jackson would have to be out of the picture so Daphne could live her life. Awesome book! I will highly recommend it!

I didn’t think Liv Constantine could top The Last Mrs. Parrish. Honestly, I went into the book with low expectations because how often are sequels as good (or even better) than the original? Well folks, the book is as good if not better than the first. I found myself completely sucked into Daphne, Jackson, and Amber’s world. I spent 2 days neglecting my family and home responsibilities because I just had to finish it. Get excited! This is a 5 stars sequel! Thank you so very much to Net Galley and Bantam-Random House for the advanced copy of the book.

Wow this book was so suspenseful and interesting. This one definitely lived up to the hype of the first book. I was constantly wondering what twists and turns were going to happen next. This was a highly anticipated sequel and it did not disappoint. Thank you Random House Publishing Group for sending me an ARC of this book.

A fun sequel to the first Mrs. Parrish. Kept me on the edge of my seat as I quickly flipped the pages. Truly enjoyable and one you would love to read by the pool. Suspenseful and fun.

I enjoyed the first book in this series. This one dragged out a bit and felt repetitive to me. It also seemed far fetched. I’m still a big fan of Liv Constantine and can’t wait to see what is next!

Thank you very much to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for the advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Absolutely intruiging book. I could not put the book down once I began reading it and cannot wait for it to be released.

Returning character Daphne the GOAT 🐐, aka the lady who made you stand from your seat and yell HELL YES in the prequel to this book.
If you’ve been under a rock and haven’t read The Last Mrs Parrish, then do so and enjoy this killer sequel !!
I digress.
Amber Parrish returns along with her husband, Jackson “pond scum” Parrish, and they’re both picking up where they left off. Greedy, narcissistic tendencies rule their existence.
And enter our new character, Daisy Ann Briscoe, an enigma of a woman. You don’t quite get how she fits in, but when she does. 💥💥💣💣🌋🌋🧨🧨
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you read The Last Mrs. Parrish, then The Next Mrs. Parrish will capture you from the beginning! If you haven't you NEED to read that first. The lives of Jackson, Amber, Daphne, and Daisy Ann are all tangled up in a web of lies as their stories continue. They are all trying to get revenge or escape from something or someone. Jackson and Amber are as detestable as ever, and their deceit and lack of morals is utterly off-putting. The plot is intricately woven with twist after twist and I couldn't put this down. I honestly think this one was even better than the first book! The jaw dropping ending made me smile and feel like everything that had just happened was wrapped up nicely. Thanks NetGalley & Bantam Publishing for the ARC of this book, I will be recommending it for sure!

Addicting, fast paced, wild, shocking, and absolutely unhinged is how I would describe this book! I didn’t think I could hate Amber and Jackson more, but here we are.

I was so excited when I heard that Liv Constantine was writing this book, because I absolutely l loved The Last Mrs. Parrish. I was nervous that it wouldn’t live up to the absolute page turner that is the first book but wow! Once I started this book I could not put it down, it was such a wild ride full of some of the most infuriating characters, in the absolute best way. There’s so many twists and connections in this book that just kept you guessing until the end. I think I enjoyed the first book a little more because it was more shocking learning about how insane the characters were the first time around, but this was so satisfying and fun to read! Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC!

Thank you to @netgalley and @randomhousepublishinggroup for this ARC. This book will be released on June 18, 2024.

I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was curious to see what direction this story would take. Daphne’s beginning arc gave me hope, but I just couldn’t get past how unrealistic her actions were in the majority of the book. The pace also felt slow in comparison to the first book. There is only so much I can take of Jackson catching Daphne in her plans over and over. The introduction of the character of Daisy Ann was interesting, but I felt it took entirely too long for her story to become connected to Amber, Jackson, and Daphne.

Overall the book was fine, but I’m not sure a sequel was necessary.

The Next Mrs. Parrish
by Liv Constantine
Pub Date: June 18, 2024
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.
Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’s lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line, in this thrilling sequel to the million-copy-bestselling Reese’s Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish.
Imagine my surprise when I saw there was a sequel to one of my favorite books ever!! Picture me jumping for joy when I was approved for an ARC of The Next Mrs. Parrish!! Once again, my favorite writing duo did not disappoint with this follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. Was this book really necessary? Probably not. But was it twisty and entertaining? Most definitely!
This book can also be read as a standalone, which is a great bonus for those who haven’t read the first book. This book is filled with characters that you will love to hate, twists and turns, and lots of entertainment. I highly recommend!

Wow great revenge and deception novel!!

First book was ok for me however I enjoyed the second more.

I’d you like twisty domestic thrillers this one is for you.
