Nena Knight knows all about pain, but she also knows how to deal it out. Brutally taken from her small Ghanian village as a child and forced to endure unthinkable horrors, the girl Aninyeh is now the woman Nena — top assassin for a powerful syndicate known as the Tribe. Her mission? Liquidating the enemies of pan-African unity, which she does with guilt-free gusto.
She’s never questioned orders from. The Tribe, until she meets a sassy young girl, Georgia in a local burger joint. After leaving, Georgia gets into trouble- and Nena can’t leave her.
My thoughts: This book was so immersive and adventurous. I rooted for Nena throughout the whole book and enjoyed the audiobook greatly.
