Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J Maas

-

Selena Kyle finally makes her return to Gotham City after a two-year hiatus. Returning as Holly Vanderhees, she attends every gala and party there is. But as soon as all the guests disappear, Holly disappears and Catwoman emerges from the shadows. It isn't long before she's on the prowl, teaming up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Batman's away so it's up to Batwing to fill the role of Gotham's dark protector. But Luke isn't sure he has what it takes to bring down Gotham's newest villain.
    The beginning of Catwoman: Soul Stealer was okay. I'll admit, I didn't really enjoy the first few chapters but I ended up enjoying this book a lot. At first, I didn't really see the point of the first two chapters which were kind of like an epilogue. I skimmed over them because they got boring but by the end, I looked at them in a whole new light.
    Most of the book didn't seem to have a plot. It was just Selina pulling off jewel heists and flirting with Luke. It wasn't until the last fifty pages Selina had a purpose for all her missions and got some character development.
    One of the main parts of the book was Selina's relationship with Luke. I liked them as characters, but they were just okay together. I didn't really feel any spark.
    The relationship I did want to see more of however was Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. I loved that Sarah J. Maas added a little subplot with the two. Although they were never an actual couple, Ivy admitted having feelings for Harvey and I just wanted to see them end up together.
    Catwoman has always been my favorite DC Comics character. I was so excited to read this book about her and to finally read Sarah J. Maas book in general. I've heard such great things about the author and I'm sure all her hype is well deserved but Soulstealer just wasn't the book for me. In the end, I couldn't help but be just a little disappointed.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
