Yasmin Angoe's They Come at Knight is the heart-pounding second installment in the Nena Knight series about an intrepid female assassin who will stop at nothing to protect her family. For elite assassin Nena Knight, eliminating dangerous players on the world stage is part of the job. The Tribe, a powerful business syndicate in Africa, ensures that she has those opportunities. But for Nena, the Tribe is more than just her employer; it's an organization that supports the African people--until it turns on itself. As Nena embarks on a new mission, a violent siege by a paramilitary group throws the Tribe into chaos, and mysterious acts of violence plague the Tribe's territories. As the attacks escalate, Nena suspects a different kind of enemy at play: someone on the inside, determined to undermine the Tribe's leaders. As this new threat closes in on her own family, Nena enlists a team to root out the danger. But as she gets closer to the truth, she will have to risk everything to protect the future she holds dear--even if it means facing off with an enemy she never expected.

“Her lot in life was not to give up. It was not to lie down and die. It was to face her fate on her feet. It was to meet her end trying. And that was what Nena would always do, in agony or not.”

Nena is back! As strong and fierce as ever, fighting for her family, her love, and her true self. I loved getting to follow Nena again, as she grows on her journey through life and the new missions and trails she faces within the Knight family and the Tribe. Angoe has filled this sequel with plenty of action, family bonding, twists and turns, emotional power, and even sliding in a hint of romance. Highly recommend taking the time to follow Nena in her newest mission.
This book manages to keep the same characters and create an entirely different conflict and plot, which can be hard with a sequel. Fantastically heartbreaking descriptions of PTSD, which were hard to read but also good to see. This was over the top but somehow still more realistic than I'd expect.
