Catwoman: Soul Stealer by Sarah J. Maas (DC Icons Series - 6 books) 400 pages
Selina Kyle's (Catwoman) background story is laid out and her motive for thievery of fine things shown to be more Robin Hood than robber. I loved it that Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy appear in this story, too. Harley Quinn has been a favorite of mine since watching the films she appeared in, Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, her own story is a good one and of course her hyena whose name is Bruce is also a joy, but, back to Selina Kyle. The ladies team up to take on Gotham City while Batman is out of town on a mission. However, Luke Fox, a.k.a. Batwing, is keeping an eye on things and the reader will learn his background story, too. Well written, well thought out plot with intriguing good and bad characters as well as those who straddle the fence. Selina's motive is not greed she has a higher purpose and you will find out what that is here. Even Batwing has to acknowledge that her criminal acts are not solely criminally intent. They form a begrudging partnership founded on attraction and admiration with mutual respect thrown in. A good book. Middle schoolers have grown up on these characters, but, their language in this story is definitely adult with expletives thrown in. However, I still recommend this book and series to Middle Schoolers on up.
