Ghosts of the Shadow Market Book 6: The Wicked Ones by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman

The Wicked Ones (Ghosts of the Shadow Market, #6)
Ghosts of the Shadow Market Book 6
Celine Montclaire goes to the Shadow Market to escape. She would go anywhere in Paris, or the entire world, to escape the suffering she experiences at the hands of her family. She did not expect to meet Valentine Morgenstern there, or to have him promise her freedom and the heart of the man she secretly loves. On one condition, of course. At the Shadow Market, nothing is for free.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Another great novella in this collection. We finally get a close look at Celine who we all know is Jace's mom. This was a great story because we got to see who Celine was. Someone we didn't have a lot of information on. But to get her point of view was quite the insight. Her unrequited love for Stephen Herondale, her awful abusive childhood that left her with scars both physical and emotional, and how manipulative Valentine truly was. He was always clever, but this story alone showed how deep and true that was. And while we learn more about Celine we also continue Jem's story. He is at the end of the Herondale line and there are always some twists left. We finally get to see where the trail ends. Jem i still holding on to his humanity, but in this story we got to see how impossibly close he could be to losing himself. Tess and Will are the only ones who anchor him in his thoughts. And he has to constantly remind himself of them or he fears truly losing himself. Another great story in this collection and I can't wait for more.
