Five of the easiest starts I've given to a book a hot minute!
I was so incredibly worried this would be a let down. The Last Mrs. Parrish is a Top 3 favorite book of all time! ALL TIME! So when I learned of a sequel I was equal parts excited and terrified.
Our dynamic sister duo DID NOT DISSAPOINT. This was flawlessly executed and so well done. The way I had a visceral hatred for Amber and Jackson is such a testament to the brilliance Liv Constantine has in their writing abilities. I absolutely could not put this down. The story was good - if you can read The Last Shot first, it would help with some foundation, but it also isnt necessary.
I think that this would have been hard to write an ending for this and I LOVE how it was definitive while leaving things open for a possible third book.
WELL DONE LIV...WELL DONE!!!!
Jackson is just an infuriating as ever. He was knocked down a peg or two in the first book, but somehow he thinks he can get everything back to the way it was. Amber thinks she is the smartest person in the room, which is laughable, because she seems to have no common sense. Daphne just frustrates me to no end. I really wanted to throw my Kindle across the room because of the decisions she made regarding her and her family. I couldn't imagine putting my children in possible harms way again, after getting them out. Daisy Ann seemed to be the only smart person in the story, but her family did not support her or her decisions. I liked how all the stories connected in the end. It was fun to watch their stories flesh out. It was a satisfying end.
This was a great sequel to a great book. I really enjoyed reading about the two previous Mrs Parrishes again.
This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, much like the first book. The mix of sympathy for some characters, and despise for others made it the perfect "just one more chapter" book. The short chapters and fast pace allowed me to breeze through it quickly. I deducted a star because something about the ending left me wanting. I was so caught up in all these scenarios and characters entangled in a web of suspense, and then it just ended. Granted the ending was complete and I didn't feel like I was left hanging, but it just felt a bit rushed. It still didn't take away from the enjoyment of the book overall. Huge thanks to Random House Publishing Group, the authors and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
I'm a huge fan of the Liv Constantine duo's writing style. Having read The Last Mrs, Parrish when it was published, I was excited to read an early copy of The Next Mrs. Parrish. I enjoyed this book up until about 85%. At that point, the book seemed to wrap up in a hurry, and neat and tidy. I wasn't a fan of the ending but enjoyed the book overall. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.
The first installment of this book was a fan favorite for sure! This second installment takes us back into the lives of the characters and what has happened since the first book. This one is full over suspense, and you are rooting for the mom and her daughters through the entire story line. Loved it!
Really fun page turner. I really enjoyed the first book and while I don't think this one was quite as good as that, it still kept me reading and entertained. Some situations seemed a bit far fetched but I think that really just adds to the fun of the book.
I love this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. First, before reading this, you must read the prequel and the first book since this is book two. This is full of suspense and the need to know what will happen next. I couldn’t wait to see what devious things the characters would do. Such a great read and such a great ending!
I really enjoyed this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. After finishing the book, I don't quite understand the title, considering Jackson does not remarry after him and Amber (not a spoiler!). I did like the first book but I thought this one was a better thought out plot. The twists were more reasonable and I loved Daisy Ann's character so much! She was a great addition to the story.
The three perspectives was a little hard to follow sometimes because the timelines jumped back and forth without that being told to you.
Overall - great book with a satisfying ending!! Would highly recommend to anyone who has already read The Last Mrs. Parrish, or to new readers (as long as you read the first one, first) Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing group for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
OMG! What a fantastic novel.. It was fantastic, captivating, exhilarating, definitely a page turner, exciting, riveting, intriguing novel. I will definitely give it 5 stars. Had me captivated from beginning to end and certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommend to everyone. All in all it was EXCELLENT!!
Loved The Last Mrs. Parrish! This one did not disappoint. It was hard not to have grand expectations, but I’m glad It was great! Strong feelings were had for certain characters just like in The Last Mrs. Parrish. I’m thankful for the ending and my heart can sleep tonight.
I really wanted to like this as much as the original but I just didn’t. I did like the story. I liked Amber being found out. I didn’t really see the need of Daisy Ann (?) until things all wrapped up.
3.5/5
Daphne, Jackson and Amber are back! We also meet Daisy-Ann. Before reading this sequel I would recommend reading the novella, The First Shot. I have mixed feelings about The Next Mrs. Parrish, I enjoyed it but I felt like at some points it dragged on. Jackson's manipulated behavior had be stressed the entire time. I did enjoy Daisy Ann's POV chapters.
Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC!!
When I saw Liv Constantine was coming out with a sequel to one of my favorite books, I couldn't wait to pick it up! The Next Mrs. Parrish is a book I was so excited to receive an ARC for, and I really enjoyed it. While I can't say it topped the first in the series, I loved following the twisted lives of Daphe, Amber and Jackson.
This book can be a stand alone, but I recommend reading The Last Mrs. Parrish first if you can. Overall, great read - 4 stars!
I truly enjoyed this installment in the Mrs. Parrish series. It had lots of twist and turns and moments where I thought I had figured it out but hadn’t. I do think reading the other books enhances this one. Definitely a book to have in your beach bag this summer.
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The same characters but the sequel wasn’t predictable, like some can be. It dragged a bit in the middle but overall it was a good read. I would recommend!
I was so happy to see I was granted an advanced copy of this sequel but I honestly had to force myself to finish it. In the first book I was rooting for Daphne and felt so happy when she was able to get away from her abusive relationship but on this new book her character gave me anxiety. First half of the book was ok, but the second part was just unbearable.
Thank you to Bantman and NetGalley for this ARC.
Thank you so much for this ARC! This was even better than the first one! I have never hated a book character more than Jackson Parish! He made me want to throw my kindle!
I loved all of the twists and turns this book took. It really kept me hooked in from the beginning. It was great seeing where these characters headed after the first book and how they all got what they deserved in the end.
This book was so good. There was so many twists and betrayals and revenge. This book was executed extremely well. I wanted to read each page so fast just so I could get to the next page. Unexpected enemies were made. Unexpected friends were made. The ending had me shook. I really hope there is another book, I don't want their stories to be over yet. Run fast and read this, you won't be disappointed!!
