Edge of my seat read. Truly had me holding my breath as I read each chapter. “The Next Mrs. Parrish” is a must read. The story picks up as Jackson is close to finishing his prison sentence and Amber is positioning her next move. Daphne Parrish and the girls are trying to move forward. Of course, master manipulators Jackson & Amber have other things in mind. You will get to read about Daisy Ann and her father’s marriage to Amber in this book, as well as the damage done. Well written book with interesting, intense characters. Pre-order for the June 18th publication date. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you to Net Galley and Bantam Books for this early read!

The Next Mrs. Parrish surprised me as a sequel to one of my favorite books. Once again, Liv didn't disappoint. Amber returns, even more conniving, while Daphne grapples with her past - exactly what we needed in a sequel. New character Daisy Ann adds some serious depth, though her role initially seemed uncertain which kept things interesting. While not quite surpassing the original, the book stands alone as a compelling read. Filled with twists and turns, I highly recommend if you enjoyed the first one. Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

Riveting! Even more exciting and suspenseful than the first!
Everyone needs to read this duo!
Thank you to NetGalley!

Back to dealing with the horrible Amber and Jackson! This was a quick read that could not be put down: fast-paced, good flow, and it grabbed your attention from page one. A great domestic suspense worthy of your time.

Its the return of the epic writing duo. I was so excited for this sequel to come out and I know a lot of folks have been on the fence but I loved the first books and I'm all in for the second book. Amber is back yall and so is her idiot husband. Well he's in jail but you know what I mean. I loved this book and I can say the sequel was an improvement on the first book. Also I loved the new characters and how the scheming continued. It reminded me of an episode of revenge lol how everyone has a plan and will seek their revenge.

What a great book!

Daphne has been through hell and back thanks to her ex , Jackson Parrish. Straight out of prison he is back to his old tricks. He lies, cheats and steals to get what he wants. The new Mrs. Parrish is just as deceitful

This book was full of characters that I absolutely hated! And to be honest I didn't like Daphne Parrish at times either. There are a lot of characters to keep up with but the author does a great job of keeping the storylines together until all of a sudden, everything comes full circle. It is told by 3 characters that help with the transition (Daisy Ann, Daphne, and Amber).

If you like stories that give you a rollercoaster of emotions, please add this to your list. It does not disappoint!

I love every minute of this storyline. I can not wait to read another novel by this author.

The Last Mrs. Parrish is my favorite thriller of all time, and one that I widely recommend. I was quite nervous for the Next Mrs. Parrish - how could it possibly live up? But it does! In every way. Daphne and Amber are back and they are together and I could not look away. I don't want to say anything about the plot, but this is sure to be THE book of the summer.

What a great sequel to the first book ! I really enjoyed this one. It was fast paced and kept me on my toes the entire time. Love to hate some of the characters in the book. The ending was brilliant and well deserved. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good quick thriller and has read the first book.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for the digital arc in exchange for my honest review.

The Next Mrs. Parrish is a good enough story and will likely be enjoyed by those who like domestic suspense. All strings are tied up at the novel's end, so that will be satisfying for readers who don't care for open endings. I will recommend the book to several readers whose preferences match these features.

Unfortunately, from a personal perspective, I am not able to give the novel high praise. The wording often felt trite. The word "signature" is used repeatedly as a description of something related to a character. "Get! Get out of here," spoken by an adult in the 21st century to another adult doesn't sound real and is annoyingly stereotyped language for a character in Texas. It just sounds like something Granny Clampett would say to a raccoon. The characters themselves are flat. Amber could have been a much more interesting character if she had been something more than just an evil woman. The same is true of Jackson who ends up being something tantamount to a mustache-twirling villain tying a woman to train tracks.

The writing relies on too many "gotcha" moments. Relationships between characters that are suddenly revealed with no scaffolding in the story are a little too easy and this tactic asks very little of the reader. I love domestic suspense and have enjoyed novels by this writing team in the past, but this one missed several opportunities to be much better than it was.

I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley providing me with the ARC in exchange for an honest treview.

When I finished the first book, I was hesitant but also excited for the sequel. I had listened to the short prequel right before this, and knew I wanted to request this just to see where it all ends up.

We're back with Daphne, Amber, Jackson, and now Daisy-Ann.

4 stars and hesitant at first because in the blurb I read, Daphne had to go back to be around her Ex-Husband Jackson and I honestly could barely stomach the abuse he put her through in the first book. He's back at it again and even more delusional and villainous in this one.

Amber...is an unhinged chaotic mess as always and still scheming. Amber and Jackson decide to *team up* to get Daphne back and take on Daisy-Ann aka Ambers first (deceased) husbands daughter. Daisy-Ann's whole attitude is my favorite tbh.

A lot of rich domestic drama starts right from the start.

I did love this, and I love how it ended. I'll be honest though, idk if I'd read a third IF there is one. I don't think I can read or listen to Daphne going through more than she already has with Jackson. I have a feeling it won't be the last of Amber, though..lol. Meredith also came in for her girl Daphne finally.

Definitely fast paced and a quick read. Trying to not post spoilers but I loved it!

Thank you to Netgalley, Liv Constantine, and publisher for the ARC of this!

The Last Mrs. Parrish is one of my all time favorite books, and it is one of only two books since Gone Girl to give me that true shock moment at the big twist. I was very excited to learn about the sequel.

This is the order I read the series in, and this is the order I recommend:

1. The Last Mrs. Parrish
2. The First Shot (this is a novella, and while it is a prequel to the first book trust me that this is the order to read them)
3. The Next Mrs. Parrish

The Next Mrs. Parrish is a fast, easy read that is full of fun twists. There are three narrators in this one: Daphne, Amber, and Daisy Ann (who you will know if you read The First Shot). The Amber and Daisy Ann chapters were the most fun, and I got a kick out of their cleverness. And the ending was perfect. I love the way the story unfolded.

As much of a fun ride as most of this book was, I had a hard time connecting with the Daphne sections and found myself dreading them. Without spoilers, I will say that her decisions made absolutely no sense to me. It just didn't ring true that she would make the choices she made after all the hard work she did in the last book. Every time I had to read about all the same stuff happening again it just annoyed me. I also had a hard time believing Tallulah didn't remember what things used to be like. I get why it had to happen though, and the ending was satisfying, but that was really the one negative in an otherwise awesome book.

That is minor though, and the book is fun and I loved it. I highly recommend this to everyone who loved The Last Mrs. Parrish!

Thank you Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for my review.

I saw a lot of mixed reviews for this one before I read it, and I'm sorry to say I'm in the "didn't like it" camp. It was just a mishmash of part soap opera/part cartoon. The characters from Texas said things like "little lady" and "what in tarnation". No therapist would recommend the action that started everything in this book. Daphne is ridiculous, her daughter is a brat, and the "villains" are cartoons who are practically twirling a mustache in the mirror. The only character I liked was Daisy Ann, but also, how many double-crossers can there be in one book?

Just finished reading The Next Mrs. Parrish and it was sooooo good 👏🏼🔥 I absolutely ate up every single word of this delicious, suspenseful page-turner and each chapter left me even more shocked than the last 😳🤯

S/O to @netgalley & @bantambooksuk for the ARC!! This will be released on June 18th ☀️

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amber. Amber. Amber. Oh how much I hate Amber. Probably more than Jackson.
I guess when you hate a character so deeply, the author/s have understood the assignment. I enjoyed getting the back story of Amber, and love the tie in of Daisy Ann. Kind of feel like the title of the books are flipped though. This one should have been The Last Mrs. Parrish, and the first should have been The Next Mrs. Parrish, but maybe they weren't thinking to write a sequel. Nevertheless, devoured this book while I was in a reading slump. I'm always down for a good domestic thriller and The Next Mrs. Parrish hit the spot. The depictions of domestic violence victims and why they can't leave was displayed so well... You feel every emotion for Daphne.

Trigger warning for emotional and physical spousal abuse.

I recently read The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. This is the sequel to the book The Last Mrs. Parrish. While this current book is written as a standalone, your appreciation of the story will be greatly improved if you have read the first novel. The first was a huge hit and a fun ride, so why wouldn't you? In this next and final telling, we follow Darlene, Amber and Jackson again. We learn about a new character from Amber's past, who also has an interesting history. Both books are about mental abuse, wealth, betrayal, and control.

I don't want to say too much about the storyline, in case you want to read the entire two book series. However, if you like psychological thrillers, you will be very intrigued. Both stories are well plotted, character driven fights for actual survival. Regarding The Next Mrs. Parrish specifically, it was a joy to be reunited with Darlene and Amber as justice is pursued, amongst the twists and turns. Very entertaining from beginning to end.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the advanced copy. The Next Mrs. Parrish was a pleasure to read and give you my views.

I was excited to hear this was going to be released and anticipated this squeal to The last Mrs. Parrish.. I believe it did not stand up to the first one, This was a good read though. I enjoyed thrilling continuation of the story line. This book had some good twists with a very deserving ending! I would recommend and encourage Liv Constantine to keep writing great novels!

I requested this hoping that it would bring something new to the table after I enjoyed reading about Daphne and Amber in the first book and was wondering how things would continue. This was a disappointment in that I’m not even sure why the story continued only to have the characters doing the exact same things. Thank you for the opportunity to review the arc but I just couldn’t take it seriously.

Thank you so much for this ARC - this was my most anticipated book of the year!

The Last Mrs. Parrish is hands down my favorite book and was the entry into my love for domestic suspense. That book was filled with drama, twists and turns. Honestly, a sequel was not really necessary!

I wish I was writing a better review for my most anticipated title, however, not sure that anything can surpass the first book! This book was fun. I enjoyed meeting Daisy-Ann, however, it felt like filler. The antics in this story were a bit far fetched. In the first book, I actually liked Amber (for a bit)! She was determined, smart and calculating. This book makes her appear weaker and kind of sad. Daphne is still incredible, a wonderful mother and remains strong albeit the awful accusations made against her time after time. She is a truly amazing character! No surprise, Jackson is as evil as ever!

If you loved TLMP, you will totally enjoy this - the bar is just too high!

another great book by Liv Constantine!! I loved The Last Mrs Parrish so when I heard she was making a sequel I had to get my hands on it. I love how we had a new character got to learn more about Ambers past. The twists and turns in this book definitely kept me on my toes and wanting more!! definitely worth the read!

I wish I had reread The Last Mrs. Parrish before reading this but I loved going back to Bishops Harbor. I was at first very hesitant about how Daisy Anne would fit in to things but I thought they did a great job tying her story in.
