Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas (Review #151)

“Selina Kyle is a thief.

Two years after escaping Gotham City’s slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. She quickly discovers that with Batman away on a vital mission, Gotham City looks ripe for the taking.

Luke Fox is a hero.

Luke 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 Gotham City, not everyone is what they seem.

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?”

Review:
Another knockout book. Omg. Look we BEEN knew Catwoman was a clever kitty but this take on her origin??? And when she said she was bringing Gotham to it’s knees she did not disappoint!

Wow, so much I want to talk about but can’t so lemme try. Selina was the woman to root for from beginning to end. She starts off as a teen just trying to take care of her sick sister in the slums of the East End. She joins a girl gang and fights in the ring for Falcone to make ends meet until a mysterious woman plucks her from behind the prison bars with the promise of saving her sister.

Essentially she sells her soul for her sister to have a better life. If that doesn’t make you wanna root for her idk what will. And now she’s on a mission back home in Gotham. Now what that mission is, you won’t know til the end, but it’ll rock you I promise.

And if you thought Miss Thang was doing this all on her lonesome YOU ARE MISTAKEN! Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are here too! Ugh and we stan making Ivy gay and Harls bi, that was a power move right there.

And then Luke. What a guy. We read in his POV as well as Selina’s so it was interesting to see him get his ass handed to him as well as their little flirting as socialite neighbors. I’ll be honest though, he’s a goody-goody and that made him a bit boring, aside from his battle with PTSD. That was an interesting part of his character that separated him from Wayne in my eyes.

Overall, so amazing. I ate that book up!

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose In one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Review #20)

"Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong." Review: This is a book you simply have to read. It's probably a part of my top ten favorite books list. Mara is this girl who just lost her friends and boyfriend in a terrible, but also peculiar, accident and now people who tick her off - and who she's attracted to (cough-cough-Noah-cough-cough) - are in her powerful line of fire... It's a tantalizing tale that will have you (for a lack of a better cliche) gripping the edge of your seat!!
