Author: Margaret Stohl
This is from the blurb on the back cover:
Natasha Romanoff is one of the world's most lethal assassins. Trained from a young age in the arts of death and deception. Natasha was given the title of Black Widow by Ivan Somodorov, her brutal teacher at the Red Room, Mocow's infamous academy for operatives.
Ava Orlova is just trying to fit in as an average Brooklyn teenager, but her life has been anything but average. The daughter of a missing Russian quantum physicist, Ava was once subjected to a series of ruthless military experiments -- until she was rescued by Black Widow and placed under SHIELD protection. Ava has always longed to reconnect with her mysterious savior, but Black Widow isn't really the big sister type.
Until now.
When children all over Eastern Europe being to go missing, and rumors of smuggled Red Room tech light up the dark net, Natasha suspects her old teacher has returned -- and that Ava Orlova might be the only one who can stop him. To defeat the madman who threatens their future, Natasha and Ava must unravel their pasts. Only then will they discover the truth about the dark eyed boy with an hourglass tattoo who haunts Ava's dreams...
I have yet to actually be able to just sit down and get into the story. I've only managed about 78 pages and I've had this book since about Sept of 2017.

Maybe it's the way comics (don't necessarily) translate to novel form. I ate up Superman comics when I was a kid, and I read anything and everything I could get my hands on, but I couldn't have gotten through a novelization of Superman for love nor money.

Turns out that this is apparently a Young Adult novel. And, the writer's style isn't doing anything for me. I had this problem (so to speak) with Mercedes Lackey and her Heralds I think they're called. Could not get into them. But, found several books in a series called The SERRated Edge that I really liked. And could never get into Anne McCaffrey's Freedom's Landing series either.
