Her Name Is Knight, Angoe - B +
Aninyeh is the teenage daughter of a tribal chief when a warlord comes to their village in Ghana. Her mother, father, and brothers are murdered. She is gang- raped before she is sold into slavery. A year later, she has escaped her prison in the basement of a Parisian home and is living rough. She helps a woman who has been cornered by two thugs and that woman takes her home to London. Aninyeh is renamed Nana Knight and introduced to the family business. Her new parents are senior members of the Tribe, an international association of Africans working to free Africa of neo-colonial exploitation and to help Africans everywhere. One part of the Tribe is responsible for dispatching enemies of Africa. Nena becomes an excellent assassin, residing in Miami and enjoying life as a successful young professional. In a diabolical plot turn, three of the men who were in the village the night her family was murdered cross her path. Revenge is hers. The plotting is a bit contrived, but this book is an absolute blast. Luckily, it's the beginning of a series.
