This book was crazy (in the best way)! There were many twists and turns along the way, but it was such a satisfying conclusion.

I was glad to see the stories of Daphne and Amber continue, as I felt there was more to them than we saw. I was completely surprised by Daisy Ann making an appearance in this book, but it was the perfect way to add in another layer of the story.

Overall, it was very enjoyable and gave me exactly what I wanted: high stakes, twists, and good old fashioned revenge.

If you enjoyed the previous books, you will love this one!

Thank you Random House and Liv Constantine!

Review will be posted to Goodreads the week of publication.

Ohhhh she’s back and now what does she have up her sleeve. Amber got everything she wanted, but so did Daphne. Now we throw in a new character Daisy Ann and what is she after? How many skeletons does Amber have in her closet? What else can this self obsessed woman be up to?

I love Liv Constantine and their writing style. The twists, the turns and the whole shabang is worth every word.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy.

WOW. This was the PERFECT follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. Liv Constantine is great at keeping their readers on their toes! I could never guess which way the story was going to go or what was going to happen between Jackson and Daphne. Liv Constantine also made this story more interesting by adding in characters from Amber's past along with their point of view which really kept me hooked in the story. I truly enjoyed reading The Next Mrs. Parrish and if you loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, you are going to want to read this!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review
The story continues with Amber who started with nothing and has moved up in this world only to find their money is going with Jackson in jail for tax fraud. She needs to find a way to find some. Jackson getting out of jail wants his ex wife Daphne back. Amber and Jackson go in cahoots to give each their what they want but seriously can you trust either one? A fun read with many twists and turns which make it so exciting!

It’s been a few years since I read The Last Mrs Parrish, but I was immediately drawn back into the lives of these characters. The book really picked up speed about halfway through and I absolutely could not put it down!! The story took so many twists and turns and I could never predict exactly what was going to happen.

The ending was good, but so much happened so quickly that it gave me a little bit of whiplash. It was also left on a little bit of a cliffhanger, so I’m wondering if we’re also getting a third book?

Overall, I really enjoyed the second installment and everyone who loved the first book should pick it up as soon as it comes out!!

Big thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!! Review will be posted June 4.

This book was super campy and pretty ridiculous but it'd make a good beach or pool read. Between the three narrators there were too many storylines and subplots packed in so the plot was all over the place and felt half-baked. It took a long time to get the point and the climax was a let down that led to a rushed ending. I wasn't really a fan of any of the characters and everyone felt like a one-dimensional caricature. Every other line out of Daisy Ann's mouth was "ya'll" or "hold your horses" so that we wouldn't forget she was from Texas and Amber and Daphne were constantly scheming and coming up with new plans that inevitably failed every chapter which got tiresome.

The plot bordered on absurd for most of the novel and I ultimately don't think this sequel needed to be made, but it was fun enough to keep me reading, just not super entertained or on the edge of my seat like I'd like to be with a thriller.

Easy 5 stars for this quick read thriller. There were so many twists during the last 25% that I could not put the book down. If you enjoyed "The Last Mrs. Parrish", you'll love "The Next Mrs. Parrish".

I didn’t think they could top the first book but they have successfully done so. There were so many twists and turns, I’m surprised I don’t have whiplash. It was amazing! Thanks NetGallery!

After reading the first book, I was pretty satisfied with how everything ended and wasn't sure there was room for more of Amber and Daphne's story. However, I really enjoyed The Next Mrs. Parrish and this ending was even better! The book was pretty slow at the beginning, and I almost gave up on it, but I'm so glad I didn't because at the 40% mark, things started picking up and then they never slowed down. There were some great twists/surprises and I really enjoyed the last 60% of the book. If you liked The Last Mrs. Parrish, I think you'll love The Next Mrs. Parrish!

When I saw the title “The Next Mrs. Parrish” by Liv Constantine, I thought the following: “Wait, there’s a sequel to ‘The Last Mrs. Parrish’? Why do they need a sequel? Why am I asking - there’s a sequel!” While it’s been a few months since I’ve re-read the first book, “The Next Mrs Parrish” can be read as a stand-alone. I must admit, I prefer the first book, BUT this one was also a good read. Jackson Parrish is up to his usual tricks and pulling strings. Amber is once again manipulating things from behind the scenes. Daphne has moved across the country (with her Mom!) and making a new life for herself, but is thrust back into Jackson’s web. The reader also meets Daisy Ann, out for revenge against Amber, but a nice balance to Daphne. I read this book in a day and, once again, found the story a fun ride. At times things worked out a bit too conveniently, just as in the first novel, but ya know what, I didn’t care - that was part of the fun and the twists. A fun sequel and it was great to revisit these characters.

I don't know how she did it but Liv Constantine did it again! Bringing back our favorite Mrs. and Mrs. Parrish, Constantine spun a web of mystery and deceit that kept me guessing until the very last pages!

Amber is back and looking for a way out. Her husband is in jail, she's got the money she needs and a precious baby boy. When Mr. Parrish is out early, her plans change.

Daphne is living the life far away from the Parrish homestead. When her eldest runs away, she knows she has to let the girls see their father, even when she knows what damage it will cause.

Then comes a new woman in the mix. She knows Amber from the past and will do anything, I mean anything to keep her down.

Three women, multiple mysteries, and only one way out for our leading ladies.

I did not read the first book and don’t ask me why. Now when I saw this one, I was immediately intrigued and decided to jump right into it. With that being said, this book can definitely be read as a standalone but if you can, read the first book first!

This is a domestic psychological thriller that starts slow but then picks up speed along the way. Some of these characters are quite unlikable and on the morally questionable spectrum but that’s exactly what adds to the complexity and tensity of this story, which I'm personally a big fan of.

And that ending? Are we getting a third book, or?

The Next Mrs Parrish is a great sequel to the Last Mrs Parrish. Although they both have the same characters I don’t feel you need to read the first book to enjoy the second book. I would recommend reading both however since they are both great reads. In this book, Amber is back and is just as conniving as ever. Jackson is also back and is determined to wreck havoc on the lives of Daphne and her children. I was excited to be introduced to a new character, Daisy Ann who I really liked. I’m hoping she is in the next book too! If you enjoy twists and turns and characters you just love to hate, this is the book for you!

4 stars - This book picks up right after the first book. I loved this book, just like the first one. It had a great mix of characters that kept me on the edge of my seat, with short chapters and fast pace that made it a page-turner. Although the ending felt rushed, it was still enjoyable.

Thanks to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Daphne and Amber Parrish were hopeful their lives would never have to intertwine again but life had a plan of its own. Daphne left Bishops Harbor as soon as she was divorced from Jackson and Amber is still at the top of the pecking order despite Jackson’s prison sentence. But one runaway daughter and an old enemy later Daphne and Amber are once again inhabiting Bishops Harbor together again. The only question is who is playing who and can these women outsmart Jackson Parrish for good?

When I read that The Last Mrs. Parrish was getting a sequel, it was immediately added to my TBR pile. Imagine my surprise when I got the notification I was approved for the ARC. 🥳 Liv Constantine did not disappoint with the sequel. This domestic thriller really sucks you in and leaves you wondering how on earth the “good” guys can come out on top when it seems they just can’t get a win. There were so many twists and turns and just when you think justice is being served, they weasel their way out with another twist. Such a hard book to put down and the payout at the end is truly ✨poetic✨! If you enjoyed The Last Mrs. Parrish you will certainly enjoy this one. Cannot wait to buy the physical copy to go in my library when it releases in June! 4.5⭐️ from me and eager for whatever Liv Constantine comes up with next!

Bestselling authors Liv Constantine debuted with the million copy seller, The Last Mrs. Parrish in 2017. They have written four novels since then, but now their fans get to see what happened to Daphne and Amber Parrish after Amber's envious antics got her exactly what she wanted, and more, when she was successful at getting her new husband Jackson sent to prison due to a tax evasion scandal. Amber has Jackson right where she wants him and she is sitting rather pretty as she is now at the top of the pecking line in the Bishops Harbor community where she now resides. With Jackson's release date now coming quickly, Amber's plans need precise adjustments.

Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish lost everything when Amber's envy and greed supplanted her marriage to Jackson, and with two daughters, she finds herself struggling, especially when her older daughter Tallulah not only misses her father, but runs away. With Jackson's impending release, the only thing that Daphne feels she can do is to travel back to Bishops Harbor with the girls in order to facilitate supervised visits with their father. However, Daphne thought she put the entire Amber/Jackson drama in her rear view, but she soon learns that is not the case.

Although this book is the sequel to quite a successful book, it definitely takes on quite a different direction. Not only is Jackson proving to be just as conniving as Amber this time around, but a spotlight is shown as to what happened between Jackson and Daphne during the years they were married - namely, and significantly - domestic violence. Reading of DV (even in past tense) is never easy, and while the first book I felt like I was watching a train heading for a crash, this book gave me quite a different vibe.

While Amber and Jackson are working on out-conniving one another, there is a new character who enters the story, and her name is Daisy Ann, and she proves to be nearly as vindictive as Amber. Daphne was in both the previous book and this one the most likable of the trio, it was quite interesting and often shocking to see the depths Amber, Jackson and Daisy Ann went to when they were working their schemes. Meanwhile, there is Tallulah and what kind of person she feels her father is and how wronged she feels about being away from him.

What an addictive thriller, and one that I loved as much as the first book. I had the opportunity to get the first book as an audiobook from my library, and I read this one immediately afterwards, which only intensified my connection to all of the characters - the adults and even the children. This book was a one-sitting read that kept me captivated from beginning to end.

Many thanks to Bantam and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

3.5/3.75 rounded up.

Here we go again with another jaunt into the sick and twisted world of Jackson Parrish. This sociopathic narcissist sits in prison and believes he pulls all the strings with Amber - his second wife. But he’d also like to pull Daphne’s strings again, make her his perfect plaything once more. She’s doing everything in her power to keep her girls safe and away from their abusive father but money is power. Toss in an oil heiress from Texas with an axe to grind and we’ve got a fast paced thriller full of wrong turns, back stabbing and the ever present feeling of “who can you really trust?”

⭐️⭐️⭐️.💫/5. The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. Thank you to the authors, the publishers and NetGalley for this ARC. The Last Mrs. Parrish was a big hit several years ago. All the same characters are back, and this novel is just as drama-filled. Daphne is finally rid of her jerk of an ex. She’s living in California with her mom and young daughters. Evil Amber is now Mrs. Parrish, but she’s planning an escape while the dastardly Jackson serves a short stint in prison. Daphne’s daughters really miss their father though, so when Jackson’s out of prison, Daphne agrees to a visit. Big mistake. Soon Daphne has been tricked, and Jackson is pursuing custody. We also meet Texan Daisy Ann who has her own ax to grind with Amber. This story borders on ridiculous, and I predict it’ll be a big summer hit. It’s frothy and fun. Publication is June 2024. Also, check out The Senator’s Wife by the same authors. #whatiread #bookstagram #whatsinyourbeachbag #reading #bookworm #bookgram #books #netgalley #livconstantine #goodreads

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Did realize that Mrs. Parrish was going to be a multi series book, so I was so excited when I got an early copy of this one coincidentally right after I read the first one. This one picked up right where we left off, learning about Daphne, Amber, Jackson as well as a few new characters that have an impact on the story line. When Daphne goes against her better judgment to travel back to Bishop Harbor, she is faced with the demon of her past, Jackson. She is trying to put her kids first but of course, he makes it difficult. So many moments in this book at that made me so angry at his character. In addition to their relationship, we also learn more about Amber's past and how it is affecting her now. So many layers in this series that make for a quick read!

The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a riveting psychological thriller that delves into the lives of its intriguing characters, Jackson, Amber, and Daphne, each with their own secrets and motives. The story follows the manipulative Jackson, recently released from prison, as he teams up with his cunning wife, Amber, to regain custody of his daughters and win back his ex-wife, Daphne. However, Amber is not who she seems, and as her true nature is slowly revealed, the tension escalates.

What makes "The Next Mrs. Parrish" so compelling is its complex characters and their intricate relationships. Jackson is a master manipulator, while Amber is a skilled con-artist. Daphne, on the other hand, is torn between her hatred for Jackson and her fear of losing her children. The dynamics between these characters are expertly crafted, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end.

One of the strengths of the book is its pacing, which is brisk and engaging. The plot twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing until the final pages. The writing is sharp and evocative, drawing the reader into the world of the characters and their twisted motivations.

Overall, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a gripping thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. With its well-drawn characters, suspenseful plot, and expertly crafted twists, it is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling ride.
