This is apparently a ‘Marvel Pocket Books Novel' and I'm not sure if that means it's one of a series, or if that's just what marvel labeled all the actual books that came out at this time.
This has some cool MCU level references and name drops and even a featured appearance from Wong and Doctor Strange, which is very on brand for the actual movie franchise now too. But other than that, it is entirely it's own Spider-Man story.
Spider-Man and Black Cat work to stop ancient beings that want to eat powered people that draw their strength from an animal... IE. A spider or a cat. The ancients also hired the mercenary Rhino, so it was nice to see an OG spidey villain as well.
The action itself is hard to get right in a novelized version of Spider-Man. This one does a pretty solid job and it's almost there, but it was missing something. The author had the personality of Peter and Spider-Man perfect though, and the narrator delivered his quips perfectly. I'm glad I went with the audio.
