Wow. This book. I honestly loved it as much as I did the first one. Such a good story, and very well written. I don't want to give too much away to spoil the book for anyone else, but if you read the first one, this is a must read. It's nice to see what the outcome is for Daphne, Amber (Lana), and Jackson. A reminder that karma always comes back around - no matter how long its been. :)

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine is the second book in the Mrs. Parrish series, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I’ll try to keep this review brief as I don’t want to put any spoilers out there. Although I never read the other books in this series, this book seemed like a standalone as it never seemed like I was missing any backstory points.

In The Next Mrs. Parrish, the authors skillfully navigate the complexities of envy, betrayal, and revenge with cunning characters and unexpected twists. You will find yourself engrossed in the manipulative games of the protagonist Amber as she schemes her way into a life of wealth. The writing style is both elegant and suspenseful, making this novel a must-read for fans of the genre.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

The sequel to “The Last Mrs. Parrish” is a similarly twisty tale. Jackson is in prison at the start of the book, but once released he returns to his controlling and abusing ways. Amber is perhaps even striving and conniving than she was in the first book. And, Daphne—who has successfully escaped to California? Well, she gets lured back to Bishops Harbor when her older daughter misses her father. A new character—Daisy Ann—is introduced, and it took a while for her role to be understood, but eventually her story connects with the others. I found this sequel interesting in the ways in which these character’s lives play out. There were some intriguing twists, including one that made me gasp. It’s a quick and fun read, as long as you can stomach reading about domestic abuse. Thanks to the authors, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Amber and Daphne Parrish are both back in this sequel. Daphne is making a new life in California with her daughters while Amber takes over as the new Mrs. Parrish but not quite fitting in with Jackson in prison. Daphne is forced back to Bishops Harbor for her girls to reconnect with Jackson. This one was so slow, I was tempted to give up a few times but stuck it out because that's how I felt with the first book as well. There is so much planning and conniving in this story and you just hate the villains that much more.

Thank you @randomhouse @netgalley for a copy of this.

What a great thriller this was. If you haven"t read book one don't worry the author will get you caught up in the first few chapters.

Jackson has other plans which are. very deceiving for her and Amber and does not want anything to do with his daughter. Will Amber and Daphne be able to work out their problems and is there going to be a third Mrs. Parrish?

I was chosen as an ARC reader for this book. My honest opinion is I enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and kept me engaged. The author told the story from 3 different perspective, and I found myself reading through one perspective to get back to another.

The characters you love to hate are back and as despicable as ever! Everyone is lying, plotting and planning with and against each other for the ultimate revenge! Who will come out on top and who will get their just desserts? Yes it is definitely worth the read!

I was sooo excited for this sequel that I reread the original and listened to the prequel. WOW. Liv Constantine did not disappoint with The Next Mrs. Parrish. Five stars. We’ve got our same despicable villains but there is a new champion in the mix too besides our original favorite. #nospoilers

The twists are turns are clever and I could not put this down! This is a book you absolutely should pre-order!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

WOW! Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved the first book (The Last Mrs. Parrish), so I when I saw the announcement of a sequel, I was beyond excited!

This book far surpassed my expectations. I loved reading the point of views from three different characters, allowing me to truly have insight into all aspects of the story. The writing was absolutely phenomenal. This book was filled with shocking twists, suspense, & characters you will love to hate!

I highly recommend reading this one as well as the first! They both will not disappoint!

A special thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, and the authors for providing an ARC of this book.

Publication date: June 18, 2024.

Okay, this book can't hold a candle to the first one, but it did pretty well.

I loved picking up after Jackson got out of jail. That was so well done. The new intro of a older character was also amazing. I never could have guessed that Dasiy Ann would become so important to the story line like she was!

The twist near the end had me GASPING. I was not expecting it at all, and once again, the book did a great job at throwing me for a loop!

As an avid reader, I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of "The Next Mrs. Parrish," the eagerly awaited sequel to Liv Constantine's gripping debut, "The Last Mrs. Parrish." And let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations!

Building upon the foundation laid in the first book, Constantine dives even deeper into the lives of the Parrish family, unraveling new layers of intrigue and suspense. Returning readers will delight in reconnecting with familiar characters, while newcomers will find themselves quickly drawn into the mesmerizing world Constantine has created.

What truly sets "The Next Mrs. Parrish" apart is its seamless blend of psychological depth and heart-pounding suspense. Constantine expertly navigates the intricacies of relationships and power dynamics, keeping readers guessing at every turn. The tension is palpable, the stakes are higher than ever, and the twists... oh, the twists! I found myself gasping in surprise more times than I can count.

While I'm giving this book four stars instead of five, it's only because I reserve that fifth star for those truly exceptional reads that resonate with me on a deeply personal level. Nevertheless, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and anyone looking for a riveting story that will keep them guessing until the final page. Bravo, Liv Constantine, for delivering another captivating masterpiece! 👏📖 #TheNextMrsParrish #BookReview #Thriller

This book left much to be desired. Despite my curiosity about Daisy Ann's fate and the wellbeing of Daphne's children, enduring Amber and Jackson's insufferable behavior was a challenge. I really enjoyed the first novel several years ago but maybe my reading tastes have changed and I just didn't have any desire to finish it.

I think that in order to enjoy this book you must first read "The Last Mrs Parrish" Daphne and Amber are back. Daphne has left her abusive husband, who is in jail for tax evasion, and has moved across the country with her 2 daughters. Amber has found some hidden diamonds and is planning her escape. When their father gets out of jail, his daughters want to visit him, much against their mother's advice. Although he is charming to them, he is still up to his old tricks and drugs the mother. Things go down hill from there.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and was so excited to see a sequel! Was dying to know how everything played out with each of the characters. I was hooked to my kindle with every twist and turn through out the story.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Daphne does it again. I loved how the book in between The First Shot has characters that come into play. I would recommend reading it before, but if you don’t it will still be a great story. I just loved knowing what happened and then continued. The Last Mrs. Parrish was my favorite book and the sequel was just as good. 5 stars!

Thank you @bantambooksuk @randomhouse #partner for the free eARC!

Remember not too long ago when I told you about Amber and Daphne and their majorly dysfunctional relationships? Well these ladies are back again and once again fighting for what they feel is theirs! Both have different motivations however both can be ruthless! 😆

Amber is once again queen of Bishops Harbor taking any and all that she feels like belongs to her. Unfortunately for her with Jackson being in jail her money is running out quicker than she expected. Naturally she must get creative to make ends meet.

Daphne is back in Bishops Harbor chasing her daughter who has run back “home” in search of a relationship with her father. Daphne begrudgingly goes back as she doesn’t want to lose her daughter to the man she doesn’t trust the most!

With Ambers sketchy past we meet yet another shady person she had crossed looking for revenge and trying to get a payout. All the characters must figure out how to come out on top knowing they can’t really ever trust anyone but themselves!

Thoughts: Liv does a wonderful job bringing these insanely vindictive women back into the fold with more insanity and backstabbing! Although I didn’t like this one as much as the first, I still enjoyed watching these characters I just love to hate. 😅 This book feels a bit like watching a “Real Housewives episode” on steroids 😂 I am always going to be #teamdaphne but it’s so hard not to love them all. I just love the unhinged characters and can’t wait to see what Liv comes up with next!

If you like thrillers, this was a fun one. It had many twists, most of which I did not predict. It was an easy read and a good distraction from the stress of life. I did find most of the characters unlikable, even the "good guys". I expect there will be a third in the series and I'll probably read that, too. I enjoy the world the author has created.

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review The Next Mrs Parrish before it releases.
I was a huge fan of The Last Mrs. Parrish and was so excited for this sequel. Unfortunately I was left underwhelmed and do not understand the title.

I think the only reason I am writing this book lower is because I had no idea there was a prequel to the series - books 1 and 2 follow similar naming schemes which makes it easy to find however the prequel (the first shot) des not and is not easily found. Without reading the prequel you will be lost as there is a whole new storyline and character.

The ending of this book felt a little rushed in the sense that there was a lot to cover and it was pushed together very fast having all these storylines meld together.

This book was so disappointing. I kept reading because I wanted to find out what happened, particularly to Daisy Ann and also Daphne's children, but Amber was absolutely insufferable and so was Jackson. I found the idea of Daphne moving back into the home of her abuser so absurd that it almost had me DNF'ing. There were several other things that happened in this book that seemed so ridiculous and far-fetched that I wanted to stop reading because it was distracting from the plot. This book was sadly not a good use of my time. I won't be recommending it.
