BLACK WIDOW: FOREVER RED is an exciting and electrifying and action-packed story that gives readers a peek into the life of one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most mysterious and kick-ass agents, Natasha Romanov. It uncovers details of her past. It reveals chinks in her armor that suggest that she might not be as cold-hearted as she’d like everyone to believe. It introduces a new character, Ava Orlova, whose past and present are intertwined with the Black Widow’s. And it sends them both on a quest for answers and a mission to take down their mutual enemy.Ava Orlova would never forget the red-haired woman who rescued her from the clutches of Ivan Somodorov. She owed her life to this woman who’d called her sestrenka, little sister. This hero who promised she’d be there for her whenever she needed her. But after years spent locked up in one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s military bunkers with no answer to her many requests to see her and years spent on the streets of Brooklyn fighting for her survival, Ava wanted nothing to do with her. She might never be able to forget what the Black Widow had done for her, but she wasn’t going to forgive her for what she didn’t do.Natasha Romanov had no intention of coming back into Ava’s life. As long as she was safe there was no reason to. But when it appears that the man responsible for both of their tortured pasts is alive and going after Ava, she is forced to step in. Because if she wants answers as to why Ivan is coming for Ava after all these years, she’ll need to keep Ava alive. And, even if she won’t admit it, she cares whether Ava lives or dies.Author Margaret Stohl created a fantastic new addition to the Marvel Universe with her Black Widow story - a story that is just as much Ava’s story as it is Natasha’s.
If you are a fan of the Avengers, then you will love this book!! This book starts off not too long after Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow joins S.H.I.E.L.D. She has to revisit her past in Russia and meets a little girl named Ava. After Natasha saves Ava from her old boss (Ivan), she pretty much drops out of Ava's life. Ava's life has not been easy after Natasha dropped her off in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody many years earlier. Ava, now a teenager, keeps having very vivid dreams about a boy named Alex that she runs into in Philadelphia. She also runs into Natasha in the same place after Ivan has been spotted again. They soon learn that the two of them are connected from their previous meeting. The dreams that Ava was having about Alex are also connected to Natasha. Ava and Alex decide to go searching for Ivan while Natasha learns that she volunteered for something that she never thought she would. She also learns that she could be a security risk (along with hundreds of other people). The three of these characters have to work together in order to stop something that could cause destruction all over the globe. Of course pandemonium ensues and everyone is different because of it. There are so many secrets uncovered that you will be surprised every chapter!This book was extremely entertaining. I felt like I was reading Scarlett Johansson's character from the Avengers' movies. Tony Stark makes an appearance and he felt very real too. (He was also hilarious, of course!) Their personalities are perfect in the book! This book felt like a seamless transition from the movies onto the page. It can always be scary reading an iconic character that so many people are attached to, but Stohl does a brilliant job of bringing Black Widow to life.
