Publisher's Summary
A smash debut novel from rising star Yasmin Angoe, Her Name Is Knight features an elite assassin heroine on a mission to topple a human trafficking ring and avenge her family.
Stolen from her Ghanaian village as a child, Nena Knight has plenty of motives to kill. Now an elite assassin for a powerful business syndicate called the Tribe, she gets plenty of chances.
But while on assignment in Miami, Nena ends up saving a life, not taking one. She emerges from the experience a changed woman, finally hopeful for a life beyond rage and revenge. Tasked with killing a man she’s come to respect, Nena struggles to reconcile her loyalty to the Tribe with her new purpose.
Meanwhile, she learns a new Tribe council member is the same man who razed her village, murdered her family, and sold her into captivity. Nena can’t resist the temptation of vengeance - and she doesn’t want to. Before she can reclaim her life, she must leverage everything she was and everything she is to take him down and end the cycle of bloodshed for good.
Critic Reviews
“Narrator Tamika Katon-Donegal delivers Angoe's debut thriller with the intensity it deserves.... Katon-Donegal shines in the 'before' chapters, delivered in the first person with a poetic rhythm. Her voicing of the terror and violence of Nena's kidnapping and the destruction of her village is at once captivating and horrifying.... Katon-Donegal uses her skills with pace, tone, and accent to differentiate the many characters. The audiobook comes together to deliver a highly impactful listen.” —AudioFile Magazine
“This stunning debut...deftly balances action, interpersonal relationships, issues of trauma, and profound human questions in an unforgettable novel.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Angoe expertly builds tension by shifting between her lead’s past and present lives. Thriller fans will cheer Aninyeh every step of the way.” —Publishers Weekly

Was captivated by this story
This was, at times, a difficult story to listen to - because I know that slavery and the subjugation of people still happens to this day. Unfortunately, the resurrection and final good outcomes Nina eventually finds - and her peace - are, also unfortunately, less secure. A great story if you like a thriller that has licks of truth, a lot of soul searching and much show of humanity (not only inhumanity).

Highly enjoyable
I loved the story, the before and after. It’s a harsh storyline with violence and needs trigger warnings. I’m looking forward to the next one!

The Narrator crucifies this book
I just could not get past the narrator...just terrible. I think this is a really good book but via audible, not for me sorry.
