When Marvel first announced they were hiring pro YA author Margaret Stohl to write a novel about Black Widow — aka my favorite bad ass lady — I could not have been more excited. After finally reading the book … well, I’ll save most of my gushing for my review next week, but suffice it to say, this book kicks just as much ass as Natasha Romanov.
Which is why I am SO THRILLED to be featuring it as our October 2015 Book of the Month. We have tons of exciting goodies planned for the month ahead, but in the meantime snag our desktop wallpaper calendar below & keep reading for more about the book.
