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.

This is absolutely one of my favorite books ever. The plot is outstanding. The romance is just right. The sibling relationships are relatable. The love is outstanding. Nothing was predictable, but all expectations were met. Catwoman is one of the best superhero novels I have ever read and everyone (even those not big on superhero novels) absolutely adored it. I felt so very attached to the world and the characters. Everything was clearly and easily pictured in my mind's eye. The backstories were will written and not confusing. The novel tackles relationships and their difficulty leaving any reader with a sense of satisfaction. The book constantly draws you in through several kinds of love: Sisterhood, Friendship, and Romance. It really needs a sequel. One of my absolute favorite books.
