I absolutely loved the first book in this series so I knew I HAD to read the second book.

It was slow to start but picked up in the middle and had me on the edge of my seat until the end!

5 FREAKING STARS! I loved getting to spend more time with Daphne and getting to know Daisy Ann a bit more too. Seeing those two incredible strong women get justice was oh so sweet and satisfying. The journey to get there was full of tension, twists and turns that kept me on edge and rooting for our sympathetic MCs. I even felt for Amber despite hating her all throughout the first book and the prequel. Overall, every character had a clear and emotionally resonant arc, and the plot was perfectly paced and executed flawlessly. I can’t wait to see what the Liv Constantine duo does next!

I read both The Last Mrs Parrish and The Next Mrs Parrish in sequence and loved both. The second book had a little more going on with more characters involved. Though at times a bit unrealistic, it is definitely a fun read with new insights into the characters.

Thank you for an early copy. I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was excited to receive this book. I felt like it took to almost 50% to really get going. I wanted to love this but I didn't think this sequel was necessary or added anything to the other. I don't like Amber so it's difficult to read from her perspective.

A worthy sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish is a five-star thriller. There were plenty of plot twists and turns that kept me guessing. As an avid thriller reader, I appreciate novels that keep me guessing.

I don’t give many books perfect scores, but this one had good writing, fun characters (some I loved to hate), and a fast-paced story. I highly recommend.

Not as good as the first book but still enjoyed it. It gripped me right away. It just seemed like the twist fell a little flat for me unlike the first one.

The Next Mrs. Parrish was a twisty thriller told from the viewpoints of Daphne (Mrs. Parrish #1), Amber (Mrs. Parrish #2), and Daisy Ann. At first, I couldn't understand the connection between all 3 of the women. And I have to admit that the first part of the book was a little slow and confusing. There were a lot of secondary characters to keep track of. But towards the middle of the book, the story really started heating up and I couldn't put it down. Definitely a memorable sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish!

I loved every bit of this page turning sequel! Daisy Ann is back in this book and wants to get revenge on Amber. Jackson has his hooks back in Daphne and is determined to get his family back together. Amber decides she needs revenge on Daisy Ann. Every character was so calculating and devious. It was the ultimate bad guys vs. good guys show down. I couldn’t stop frantically turning pages. Every time you thought someone had the upper hand, another twist popped up. I’m so thankful to NetGalley for my advanced copy and I urge everyone to go read The Next Mrs. Parrish and The First Shot so they are ready for this amazing sequel.

If you haven’t read the last Mrs. Parrish, I highly recommend reading that book before starting this one. Overall i really enjoy this book and all of the twist! I could never guess what was coming next!

This book is the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. It was fun to read about these characters again and the book picks up where the last left off. I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish and was really looking forward to reading the sequel but I almost wish this book was a standalone book. I think new characters would have brought in a fun storyline as I don’t think these characters had much more to contribute to the story overall. I really enjoyed the twists and some unexpected turns throughout!

The Next Mrs. Parrish - Liv Constantine

High expectations for this long awaited sequel…

The ongoing struggle between Daphne and Amber, with Mr Jackson Parrish soon to be released from prison. Bitter rivalries, jealousies, child custody issues and lots of money.

There’s a ghost from Amber’s past out for revenge too. There’s a lot going on in the plot it felt more like a Dynasty-esque money and power saga rather than a thriller for lots of the book.

I missed the threat and tension of the first book, but I suppose it could be entertaining if you like this kind of novel.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine

Wow. This book had me on the edge of my seat, though I felt tense with emotions a lot of the time. I literally could not put this one down. I had to see how it would end!

In this sequel to “The Last Mrs. Parrish,” Amber is as conniving and corrupt as in the previous books. I loved the twist of bringing in the character of Daisy Ann, the daughter of Amber’s former husband who you might remember from, “The First Shot.”

I personally loved continuing to see Daphne’s point of view. Her strength and resilience as a mother take on a whole new meaning as she does whatever it takes to protect her daughters and herself from Jackson Parrish, the former husband of Daphne and Amber who is never not scheming and manipulating. I have never hated a character more than Jackson Parrish. The anticipation of seeing his downfall kept me glued to this book until the very end.

This book absolutely did not disappoint! I enjoyed the ride.

Exactly what you would expect from Liv Constantine.

It's an intelligent, cat & mouse-esque mystery with all of the drama you could imagine.

I would recommend this one to ANY of my thriller/psychological thriller readers.

4.5! Thank you NetGalley for the early release copy! Twists and turns until the VERY LAST LINE!! Definitely kept me hooked and wanting to read more. Absolutely love their style of writing.

When I got approved to read an ARC of this book, I quickly read the prequel novella and the original novel. While I greatly enjoyed the original novel, this one wasn't as wonderful, in my opinion. It was an interesting read, but there was SO MUCH HAPPENING. TOO much if that's possible. Between Amber, Jackson, and Daisy Ann, I had to question if there was even a sane/smart person among them, and I'm not sure I cared about what happened to any of them (other than Daphne and her girls). 3 - 3.5 stars.

I absolutely loved "The Last Mrs Parrish" by Liv Constantine so I was absolutely thrilled to receive an ARC of "The Next Mrs. Parrish." This book is break neck speed with one incident happening after another. At times you are jumping between two different story lines and it can feel a little all over the place. Of course most of these characters you despise because of the stunts they pull but overall the book was good.

Honestly, I couldn’t put this book down! I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, so it only makes sense. Do not read this without reading The Last Mrs. Parrish. You’ve been warned.

I found myself actually covering my mouth and gasping at some parts, and audibly sighing in relief at the end (sorry not sorry). These characters are cut-throat and I LOVED it.

I will say, I don’t understand the title choice given the ending, but that’s fine I suppose - it’s in line with the other Mrs. Parrish books.
