Title: Black Widow: Forever Red
Format: Audio Book
Author: Margaret Stohl
Rating: 3 out of 5

Natasha Romanoff was given the title "Black Widow" in Moscow's Red Room by her teacher, Ivan Somodorov. Now as a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent, she returns to Russia to rescue a young Ava Orlova from the ruthless military experiments led by Somodorov. That rescue ended with the death of the brutal teacher.

Ten years later, children all over Eastern Europe are disappearing. Rumor has it that Somodorov has returned from the dead and is performing the same experiments that he did on Ava. Now, Natasha, Ava, and the dark-eyed boy who haunts Ava's dreams must work together to save the world. 

Essentially, Black Widow: Forever Red is the origin story of Black Widow and the introduction of a new superhero. Stohl masterfully weaves three stories together to create an action packed spy thriller. Note, there is a insta-love connection for all you romance fans.
