The First Shot

A Prequel

By: Liv Constantine

Narrated by: Suzanne Elise Freeman

In this gripping prequel to the blockbuster best seller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish, listeners will discover exactly how Amber Patterson transformed from small-town girl to master manipulator - after all, practice makes perfect.

Amber Patterson has many secrets. This much is clear when she sneaks out of her home in the dead of night and hitchhikes across state lines to meet up with a man she hasn’t seen or spoken to since high school graduation. So begins her desperate attempt to leave her old life behind, and she’ll use everything and everyone at her disposal, from social media stalking to the kindness of unsuspecting strangers, to get where she needs to go. It’s not long before she’s ready for the main event: armed with a new identity and a new purpose, she heads to Gunnison, Colorado, preparing herself to meet her future husband among the wealthy vacationers.

Even the smallest misstep could derail this carefully-laid plan, and in the end, can you even truly outrun your past? The First Shot is an absorbing, binge-able thriller that shows just how far some will go to build the lives they want.

"Hold on tight! The First Shot is a deep dive into the emotionally twisted world of a woman who wants it all and will stop at nothing to take it. Find out how the notorious Amber from The Last Mrs. Parrish got her start in this fiendish prequel by the incomparable Liv Constantine!" (Wendy Walker, USA Today best-selling author)

Fun Prequel!!

I read the last mrs Parrish so long ago I didn’t remember it. The list line of this novella brought it all back. Fun and well done!!

Yessss

I love hating Lana:Amber so much! What an awesome prequel! Had I know about this I would have listen to it first but truth be told you don’t have to listen to them in order

I'm ready for the next book! This Girl is KRAZY

This Girl is sick, but I need to see her get taste of her own medicine!! Bring it on!!!!

So good.

I really enjoyed this prequel! The twist was the cherry on top. You won’t regret this choice

hometown Blue Springs, MO

Interesting storyline about "Amber" , but why did the author have to make my hometown sound horrible?

Great Listen

This was a really good listen. That Amber isn’t nothing but a conniving heifer. She got what she deserved.

great

loved the story, the characters and the plot!! struggled to understand how someone can be so calculating and unfeeling

Difficult to get through

I started this book several times and only finished it because I was on a long road trip. The amount of insensitivity and callousness demonstrated by “Amber” throughout the book was so negative. I kept hoping there would be a redemption of some sort, but none came.

Oh, Amber!

This was even better than the first. I was intrigued after finishing The Last Mrs. Parish, and it was also free on Audible! More into the life of Amber and her con game! Now onto the 3rd….

Interesting story

I’ll have to decide whether reading about a woman whose goal is buttering up a rich man so she can marry and then kill him is on the top of my tbr list! Good writer and I can see why the next book was on a book club!
