Synopsis:
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, Batwing is left to hold back the tide of notorious criminals. Gotham City is ripe for the taking.
Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove he has what it takes to help people in his role as Batwing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who seems cleverer than most. She has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, and together they are wreaking havoc. This Catwoman may be Batwing's undoing.
Review:
This is the latest in the DC Icons series which sees known DC characters being re-imagined by YA authors. This time it was Selina Kyle aka Catwoman and I liked the new backstory Sarah created for her. The storyline was fairly solid in my opinion and the characters were interesting. I definitely liked the inclusion of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn - now I want more of those two lol. Batwing was probably my least favourite character - I just didn't connect with him as much as some of the others and I did think it took him way too long to make the connection between his 'neighbour' and Catwoman.
This book wasn't perfect, some of the writing felt clunky and repetitive but overall it was an entertaining read.

I gave this book 3.75 out of 5 stars.
