I felt like I won the lottery when I was approved for an e-ARC of this book.

I re-read The Last Mrs. Parrish (5 stars even the 2nd time) before jumping in. The Next Mrs. Parrish was a fabulous follow-up with many surprising twists and turns, although maybe some things may have been a little too far-fetched. It was still definitely worth reading and I would recommend it.
Now I'm wondering if there will be another book in the series...

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Last Mrs. Parrish is one of my favorite books, so I was thrilled to be chosen to receive an advanced copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish. The Next Mrs. Parrish did not disappoint, I didn't want it to end! So, SO good!!!
Jackson, Amber and Daphne are back. along with a new character, Daisy Ann. Their stories all weave together with so many unexpected twists. I highly recommend the book!

Publication date is June 18, 2024.,

I wondered how a follow up to this book would be - the Last Mrs. Parrish was what got me back heavily into reading years ago, so I was worried the bar may be too high. I was very happy with the weaving of story lines and elements, both new and old, in this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to finish it without seeming too wild of an idea (with the lifestyles of the rich and famous). Looking forward to future releases from Liz Constantine.

This book is. Her best . She combines revenge, redemption and her usual mix of characters who you love to hate . It reminds you of the Real Housewives show.

Revenge. Redemption. A visit with characters you loved A satisfying follow up and just as readable

The latest installment in Amber Parrish's series does not disappoint. With its dark secrets, complicated web of lies, and well-developed characters. This book will keep you on edge until the very end. To fully appreciate the plot and understand the motivations of the characters, I recommend reading The First Shot novella prior to diving into this page turning sequel.

I probably should have reread the first book before diving into this one, because I couldn’t remember much, but there eventually was enough backstory that I figured out what was going on. There were a lot of chaotic chapters but I enjoyed the roller coaster of twists and turns and convoluted plot lines. Some things felt a little too convenient but it all made for a more entertaining story.

This was a good sequel!
I think you can read this as a stand alone book also, because there’s enough of last books story told in this book, to follow it.
Some of it was “riiiiiiiigh that’s really happening” moments but mostly it was just a good solid book!

This was another fantastic high society thriller from Liv Constantine!

This was a fantastic sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish! It started off a little slow building up background and giving reminders about what happened in the first book. Once the new character was introduced, the pace picked up and the story took off! I couldn’t stop reading needing to know how the new character was related to Daphne, Amber and Jackson’s stories. This book was filled with twists and turns right up until the last page.

Thank you to NetGalley, Liv Constantine and Random House for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This was definitely a compelling continuation of the first in the series. I enjoyed the quick paced, multi narrative style. I found some of the situations unbelievable but overall really liked the story.

Well….talk about another banger! I reread The Last Mrs. Parrish in preparation for this one. I had originally read it back when it first came out, and quite frankly, it’s still a 5 star for me. I absolutely cannot believe it, but I think The Next Mrs. Parrish is even better than the first! I kept thinking, just one more chapter, until eventually I just finished the book. I was enthralled and absolutely loved the new main character added to the crew. The wait was positively worth it for such a remarkable follow-up to such a phenomenon!

I absolutely enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish so I was very excited to read a sequel. Although it starts off rather slow, there is much background to build for any readers who had not read the first book. This one can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I will say that hving read the first book, I did tire of so many reminders of what had occurred. There's a new character introduced creating a story from three main points of view in addition to Jackson's. The book is full of twists in this cat and mouse thriller and the ending is definitely worth the wait. Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I devoured this follow up to The Last Mrs Parrish. I was so fun to re-enter Daphne and Ambers world. I loved to hate Amber and see her try to ruin everything and everyone around her. Anyone who loved the first novel will love this follow up as well.

Lots of schemers scheming against each other and with each other. The new Mrs. Parrish is a schemer and she wasn't out of her marriage to Jackson. She think she finds to way to escape while he is in prison but he gets out early. Jackson is threatening the old Mrs. Parrish and it seems like the new Mrs. Parrish is in on it. Somehow a woman named Daisy is peripherally involved. Chaos that all makes sense in the end.

I didn’t realize that this was the 2nd book but i felt like it was still pretty easy to follow and make sense of it!

It probably wouldn’t have soemthing I would Pick up on my own but it was a fun read

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine is a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, which I read in 2017 and very much enjoyed. Both books are psychological thrillers, and while it helps to read them in order, it isn't mandatory. There is enough callback in the new book to allow new readers (or those, like me, who can't remember the particulars of the plot after 7 years) to jump right in.

I'm thinking, however, that my tastes have changed quite a bit over the last 7 years. I've never been a huge thriller fan, but I now look for more nuance in the characters and more sophistication in the plot, and this one didn't meet my expectations.

Both Amber, whose husband, Jackson, is just out of prison for tax evasion, and Jackson himself, have absolutely no redeeming qualities. There's nothing they won't do to get the things they feel they rightfully deserve, regardless of whom they have to demolish in the process. One one hand, I have to admire the authors (two sisters) for creating characters that are so easy to hate and capable of totally stressing out the reader, but on the other, it just seemed too easy. Jackson's ex-wife, Daphne, just wants to keep Jackson out of her life, after he maneuvered her into being institutionalized for fraudulent reasons and terrorized one of their daughters about her poor reading skills. Why, then, did she naively get involved once again when her older daughter wanted a relationship with her father? There is one person I could root for, and that is Daisy Ann, who was not in the previous book. She is single-minded in her quest to prove that Amber killed her father, and she is not above using devious ways to achieve her goal I enjoyed Daphne's two daughters as well.

It all seemed too familiar, too predictable, and at times too repetitive, so I won't be looking for the next sequel, if one is planned. However, I will definitely consider a different type of book from these talented authors.

My thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Bantam for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! I was really curious to read this after reading the first and see how the story could continue. The author does a great job making Jackson and Amber the worst characters that you’re actively rooting against. I thought Daphnes storyline was interesting (although a lot of similarities to the first one) and while Ambers provided something different, it did at times feel like two different books. Overall I’d say this is a 3.5 and if you enjoyed the first one it’s worth giving it a read!

I was so excited to see there was a sequel to the The Last Mrs. Parrish! I was actually surprised to see that there was a sequel to the original, since the first book didn't have any "loose ends" and came together well. This pace of this book was riveting, intriguing ,and not as predictable as one might think. I throughly enjoyed this sequel, and it definitely was just as good as the first book. Amber and Jackson are still just as conniving and deceiving as ever. The ending absolutely did NOT disappoint! This is a must read!

The Last Mrs. Parrish (Book #1), was the book that got me back into reading in my adult life. It's still one of my favorite books to date. Naturally, I was so excited to hear that the sequel was coming out, and eager to read where the plot would be taken.

As I was reading The Next Mrs. Parrish, I realized that a second book in this series wasn't totally necessary. It was a lot of the same behavior from the same characters (except for our one new perspective - Daisy Ann - which was a nice touch) and it got to be a bit repetitive. There's usually a very distinct moment in psychological thrillers where you know it's heating up and starting to get interesting, and that did not happen until 77% of the way through.

This book did have a satisfying ending (as did the first one), and was a great way to wrap up the story of Jackson, Daphne, Amber and everyone else involved!

2.5 stars - I was happy to reconnect and be back in the world of the characters.

Thank you, NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC copy of my honest opinion and feedback!

This was such a wild ride!

Amber and Jackson are back with their devious plans to destroy people who hurt them while Daphne is trying to keep her daughters safe.

So many things happened and I was so very nervous about the ending.

I didn’t need to worry though! That ending was crazy! I didn’t see any of it coming especially the last page. It was extremely satisfying.

Make sure you read the prequel before this one. It really goes full circle with all three books.

Huge thanks to Netgalley for my copy!
