This book was fantastic! It’s told in pieces from the perspective of Daphne, Daisy Anne and Amber. At first I wasn’t sure how Daisy Anne fit into the mix but wow! The twists and turns were phenomenal! I could not put this book down! Although I will say the Daphne storyline gave me such anxiety! That just proves what a great book this was!!!
DON'T SKIP THE FIRST SHOT. Yay! My first ARC & I'm so excited it's the sequel to one of the books that got me into thrillers. Thank you!! I was a little worried going into this because I was like 'How could the story be continued?' But that's why I'm the reader, not the author... Cause boy did that story get continued.
I think I liked this one more than the first one, which was tough to beat. I still find myself thinking about it at random times 8 months later. There really was twist after twist with this one!! You also got to see the characters really grow into themselves (Um Amber chill, but don't actually I love it). I don't want to accidentally give any spoilers because you gotta read this for yourself so I'll leave it at that!
This was a terrific sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. It was definitely an edge of your seat, page turner. The main characters have all returned, and I enjoyed reading more about Jackson and Daphne’s daughters. If you enjoyed The Last Mrs Parrish, you are certainly in for a wild ride with this sequel!
I was THRILLED when I saw I received an ARC via NetGalley. I loved the first book so much I was so excited to read the sequel.
Amber, Daphne and Jackson are at it again. Their sneaky and manipulative ways keep you on the edge of your seat. Plus, a new character, Daisy Ann….
Thrillers like The Last Mrs. Parrish don’t often get sequels so I was skeptical at first, but I found myself really enjoying this story. This fast-paced novel kept my attention and had me wondering who would come out on top. While I enjoy reading about smart female characters, I did find myself annoyed at Daphne for some of the ridiculous decisions she made, but alas, without these poor decisions we wouldn’t get a sequel. If you enjoy thrillers and enjoyed the first book, you will be happy with the sequel.
I loved this sequel. There were lots of times where my eyes were glues to the page wanting to know what happened next. If you liked the first one you'll like this one!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGallery for this eARC.
This book had my heart spinning. I was very very mad at Daphne for putting herself and kids in danger because her kid was being a brat. The whole time I’ve been screaming, don’t do it you dumb idiot. Thank goodness for the strong female characters who helped her make her getaway. Meredith and Daisy Ann, you wonder spoiled rich women! Also ugh Amber you horrible human. I’m glad you got what you deserved.
Very slow to start, but the book really hooks you in close to the middle.
I was excited to see the sequel to The Last Mrs Parrish up for request and asked for it right away! I was nervous I would forget what happened in the first one, but the authors make sure to cover that. We're reintroduced to Daphne and her daughters (who have since moved to California) and awful Amber. Jackson is about to get released from prison for tax evasion and Amber's money is slowly running out. Daphne and Jackson's older daughter has no idea the true history of her parents' marriage and runs away to try and see her father. Daphne agrees to fly back to the East Coast for the summer so the girls can see their father. She has no idea that she will soon be thrust back into a devious scheme by Amber and Jackson which will jeopardize her freedom and new life she has so carefully built.
I enjoyed this book, not as much as the first one, but it held my interest and had some nice twists. We got to learn more about Amber's past and how she became the person she is today. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher!
This is a book I didn't know I needed! A third episode in the Mrs. Parrish saga that ups the ante of the twists and turns of the first two books. This is one I wish I could go back and reread for the first time, and I couldn't put it down from the moment I picked it up. Extremely well written, with every string tied up neatly in the end, this is a MUST read for anyone who loved The Last Mrs. Parrish.
A unique type of book - multiple sociopathic leads and lots of revenge - so much revenge!! Layered plot, switching narrator, but easy enough to follow. The question all along- will Jackson and Amber get their comeuppance? I enjoyed this fast-paced novel via ARC from NetGalley. I would recommend this title.
Another fun ride with Liv Constantine. I loved following the stories of Daphne, Daisy and Amber/ Lana oh and Jackson too.
There was so much double crossing it made my head spin.
I’m so glad the original story continued in this book and…possibly further? The ending was solid but definitely open ended so it could totally continue but was satisfying “as is” as well.
Jackson was legit the worst kind of person. Amber continues with her awful antics as well and wins for the most selfish character ever put on a page.
I loved how Daphne gained strength and confidence since the last book. That scene on the beach totally broke my heart IYKYK.
I also enjoyed the interconnected vibes in this one.
I for sure recommend this one. It’ll be a great way to kick off your Spring / Summer reading.
Liv Constantine does it again!!! The suspense in this book was off the charts. Jackson, Daphne, and Amber are back, and the high stakes drama picked up right where it left off. Loved the writing, loved the pacing, and was blown away by the wild ending. An extremely well-done sequel!
I loved the “The Last Mrs. Parrish” and was so excited to see the sequel was coming! “The Next Mrs. Parrish” did not disappoint and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! It was full of so many jaw dropping twists and turns throughout the story line! You will love it!
Fantastic follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish! The twists and turns kept me excited throughout the book and the chapter cliffhangers were well executed as you flip POVs. The book is packed with storylines and complex characters. Highly recommend!
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Ballantine for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5/5!! This book picks up right where The Last Mrs Parrish leaves off, without missing a beat. I was immediately immersed with the characters once again. I gasped, my stomach dropped and I had genuine fear and anxiety for Daphne. Just feeling all the things over here! Well done @livconstantine2 this was absolutely fantastic 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Hti_tryoQ/?igsh=NzNtenJoYnRua21i
I had high hopes for "The Next Mrs Parrish," the highly anticipated sequel to Live Constantine's first novel. However, I was left feeling underwhelmed and let down by this continuation of the story. While the writing style was engaging and the characters were well-developed, the plot felt lackluster and predictable compared to the original book. Overall, this story may not have lived up to my expectations, but I still appreciate the her efforts when writing this story for her fans and look forward to seeing what she has in store.
I think Amber and Jackson are the most toxic couple of all time! There are no moral grounds Amber is not willing to take to get what she wants and get back at others. Daphne and Jackson’s daughters miss their dad and want to see him over the summer, but Jackson is up to his usual schemes with the help of Amber. Ambers past is catching up with her, but she refuses to let it win and will do anything to fight. Daphne is finding her self in a tricky situation with Jackson and doing anything possible to get out. The ending brings the whole book come together full circle! I would definitely recommend The Next Mrs. Parrish. I was able to read this early thanks to Netgalley!
I loved the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, so naturally I was so excited to get my hands on this one. Picking up where The Last Mrs. Parrish left off, The Next Mrs. Parrish throws you- ready-or-not into the rich and elusive world of Amber, Daphne, and Jackson once again. Each one dealing with different 'facets' of their personal lives and motivations. I was trying to put the pieces together and see the common thread between them all and the new character of Daisy Ann. The different chapters written in each point of view were well written, providing both depth and dimension into their personalities. The story line did not disappoint and I admit that I was a bit skeptical on where it was heading at first just because so many second books have a hard time of living up to the hype of the first book. I found myself page turning, getting emotional at times, and really trying to figure out the outcome. Truly, I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a thrill seeking, page turning, heist loving, and revenge tone of a book. Thank you to Random House Publishing Group, Liv Constantine (Lynne and Valerine- how cool that they both are sisters and authors as Liv!!!), and NetGalley for the ARC. I am excited to share this with my teacher friends, my coworkers, and fellow book club attendees. Thank you again!
The next Mrs. Parrish offers all of the ambition and deception that the first book offered but on a whole new level. I was instantly drawn into the world of Amber, who has determined that she is going to be rise to the top in society. There were so many twists and turns that I was guessing what was going to happen next until the very end. The character interactions added depth to the novel and the characters were well developed. Definitely a must-read for anyone who enjoyed the first novel and is a fan of psych thrillers.
4/5 stars
Diabolical! I never would have expected a sequel to the first book, but this one was quite the ride! I enjoyed the back and forth viewpoints and got a feel for what each character was thinking. I definitely wasn’t expecting how it all turned out but really liked how she brought it all together at the end. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
