Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J Maas

Catwoman: Soulstealer (DC Icons, #3)

by Sarah J. Maas

The highly anticipated coming-of-age story of kick-ass super hero: CATWOMAN by international bestselling author Sarah J. Maas.

When the Bat's away, the Cat will play. It's time to see how many lives this cat really has. . . .

Two years after escaping Gotham City's slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals. Gotham City is ripe for the taking.

Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman may be Batwing's undoing.

In this third DC Icons book--following Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer and Marie Lu's Batman: Nightwalker--Selina is playing a desperate game of cat and mouse, forming unexpected friendships and entangling herself with Batwing by night and her devilishly handsome neighbor Luke Fox by day. But with a dangerous threat from the past on her tail, will she be able to pull off the heist that's closest to her heart?

What a great freaking book! Before this year, I hadn't tried reading anything by Sarah J. Maas. She has such a large following, and I've been burned by over hyped books in the past, so I pretty much avoided her work. However, I wanted to read some popular series this year, and I gave her a try.

The ACOTAR series was a fast read, and I liked it just fine.

This was stellar though! SJM really wrote a fantastic Catwoman book. But more than that, she told the story in a dual POV, and it made me crave more. More of the friendships formed here, as well as the potential tragic love story as well.

While I preferred the Batman story a bit more (again, my Batman bias is showing), I could see this (and want this) as a TV series. I want to see more of this Selena and Poison Ivy and Harley, and I want more Batwing!!

I know, I know, DC doesn't do live action well, and I don't want this in live action either. I want this in the animated universe and think it would work so well to that visual. Especially all of the details around all the tech! I want this!

I may even need this.
