A boy must work with his family and other resort guests to make it off an island after the animals turn feral in Tomi Oyemakinde's We Are Hunted, where White Lotus meets Jurassic Park for the young adult audience and exploring guilt, spectacle, and the dangers of capitalism! Experience paradise, reimagined. When 17-year-old Femi Fatona and his older brother are forced to accompany their dad to an island resort, Femi is not looking forward to it. After all, he hasn't exactly been getting along with either of them lately. Not much is known about the resort they'll be staying at, as it's on a newly-discovered island and shrouded in nondisclosure agreements, but at least it promises to be full of all the extravagant luxuries they're used to. Once they arrive, Femi is thrilled to find that the island is bursting with new and spectacular species of plants and animals. But he soon realizes that sometimes pretty exteriors hide ugly truths--truths that are begging to come to light. But those truths come with a price. And, when the island is thrown into chaos from animals suddenly becoming feral, what was meant to be a peaceful bonding experience quickly becomes the stuff of nightmares. Femi will have to put aside tension with his family and work with other guests, in order to escape the animals, the island, and his own guilt at the part he may have played in all of it.… (altro)

MY THOUGHTS:
This book was pretty good! Definite Jurassic Park vibe that I found to be more sci-fi than horror in genre. With that being said, I thought this was a fast-paced, well written YA book that 12 year old me would have loved. I liked the timeline marking chapters. I thought they helped keep the story moving and also showed how quickly events spiraled out of control. However, the interlude chapters seemed off and I could have went without most of them. I felt that they didn’t really add anything to the story overall, and we could have learned any of the information provided in them through character interaction. Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC/ eGalley of this book in exchange for my honest review.

GENERAL VIBES: YA, vacation gone wrong, chronological timeline, bpoc main character ( )
