It will come as no surprise that I absolutely devoured this book. Loved every single page of it.
SJM is excellent. I will read everything she ever writes. And this, being her only standalone novel to date, was such a delight! 
I adored this reimagining of Catwoman and Batwing -- Selina and Luke have my whole heart. Their story is action-packed, thrilling, full of mystery, deceit, and so much heart. 

Selina --
The perfect boss babe main character. This is her story, that's for sure. She's strong, dedicated to her cause, loyal to a fault, and loves with her whole being. 
Luke -- 
The tortured hero. He's conflicted, devoted to his loved ones and to Gotham, and slightly cocky -- which gets him into a bit more trouble than he's ready for at first. But man, we love him. 

As always, SJM's storytelling is masterful, original, compelling, and keeps you guessing at every turn. 
Epic. Nerdy. Perfect.

Catwoman:Soulstealer is the fast-moving story of Selina Kyle's journey from juvenile delinquent to assassin to thief and antihero. Along the way she crosses paths with many other Batman-world characters, most notably Poison Ivy and Batwing. All of whom are beautifully developed characters with flaws and trauma, with secrets and betrayals galore. There's some of the usual comic-book-style silliness of secret identities and forbidden romance, but it's woven so well into the larger story that I hardly cared. The plot is pure thriller, moving fast and ramping up to city-wide chaos. And I thought the emotional impact of the last few chapters was excellent , even if it was fairly predictable how things would end up. This third in the DC Icons book is the best of them so far, as far as I'm concerned.

I loved this book. If you like SJM and DC’s Young Justice, give this a try.
