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, the city looks ripe for the taking.

Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove that as Batwing he has what it takes to help people. He targets a new thief on the prowl who has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Together, they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman is clever—she may be Batwing's undoing.

In this third DC Icons book, 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?

An ok book

As a batcat fam the pairing in the book got on my nerves. I love Sarah's storytelling tho so I kept on going.

Enjoyable narration, characters, and storyline

Catwoman: Soulstealer was a very good listen and kept me immediately wanting to get back to the story on my down time. A good read while relaxing, on public transit or before bedtime. A touching ending. GOTHAM will survive!

Something different

I can honestly say this is something different from SJM, and I absolutely loved it !!!!!

So good!

Highly recommend. Great story , great narration 🙌🏼🙌🏼Sarah J. Mass did it again ! Never disappointed with her.

Why I gave it 5 stars

I’m a huge SJM fan. But that isn’t why I gave it 5 stars.

I’m also a big marvel fan/ DC fan as well

This brought both worlds together in a way only SJM could have done.

Selina’s story was told so well. It reminded me so much of Throne of Glass. But with a DC Catwoman twist. It’s probably 3.5ish stars for those that aren’t a fan of DC and SJM. But this was just a happy break from the heavy reading.

Very heart felt. Good suspense and action. Love and backstory. I loved it.

PLUS the narration- Magnifique!
