Fast-paced, interesting characters. There were a few points in the internal dialogue of the character where it felt a little less engaging. But, the plot moved and put the character in situations that showed their internal conflict well.

Simple plot but entertaining. Audiobook narration was great. It felt a lot like an action movie.

5.0

Nena has experienced the worst inhumanity possible. Ripped from her home and subjected to unimaginable horrors, Nena has lost her family before her eyes and fallen victim to human trafficking.

Nena Knight, codenamed Echo, is now a trained assassin for an organization known as The Tribe, which provides protection for the people of Africa.

Told in two timelines, in the Before, we see how Nena's life changes drastically, being a victim of sex trafficking, held captive and abused. In the After, we see more of her as Echo, killing bad guys as an adult.

Her Name Is Knight was so full of emotions that it was hard to look away. This book is addictive and fast paced. Plus, there is a plot twist that had me cursing at the air. I can't believe this is the author's first novel.

That said, the book is quite graphic. There are depictions of violent murder and sexual assault on a repetitive basis. This book is not for everyone. 

I will definitely read the second one when it comes out.

TW: Murder, Sexual Assault/Rape, Torture, Kidnapping, Physical Assault, Suicidal Thoughts, Slavery, Human Trafficking.
