I found this novel at my local library. The book is 360 pages long. The book does not have any illustrations. There is one page of Cat Woman art at end of book in color. The picture does not really relate to story. I read first third of book in couple of days. The story moves pretty fast. I do not think have to read many DC Batman stories to read Catwoman novel. I liked how. get to read origin of Catwoman. I also liked seeing Batwing wrote into novel. Batman did not appear in first third of book. He did though send Batwing several text messages. Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn teamed up as villains in story. The book was also made into graphic novel and published on June 1st, 2021. I just got through library. I have noticed various costs for novel. The book is in young adult section at library. Here is some information I found about novel.

Sizzling with action and suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author SARAH J. MAAS delivers a coming-of-age Selina Kyle who will steal readers’ hearts in a new, highly anticipated YA blockbuster: CATWOMAN!

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.

In this third DC Icons book–following Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringer and Marie Lu’s Batman: Nightwalker – 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?

Now he feels permanently one step behind...
