“So well-written and so well-paced that I couldn’t help but finish it in its entirety in about six hours of non-stop reading.... Filled with lust, yearning, and so many forbidden desires.... It suddenly shifts into a very exciting psychological thriller in its second half.”

“A roller-coaster ride filled with humor, a wonderful and wickedly twisted plot, and characters you can’t help but root for.... A thrilling suspense that is absolutely permeated with stunningly vivid descriptions.... A writer so successful at balancing light and dark.”

—Nicholas Brown, award-winning author of Heartbeat (NineStar Press)

“Exhilarating, incredible…. Hunter’s Hidden Camera proves to be an even better follow-up to an already strong debut with The Teacher Inside Me…. I cannot recommend this enough. I hope we get more stories from Anthony in the future. Whatever that is, in whatever form, I know that it will be a wild ride.”

“Raw and brave, but also surprisingly gentle…. The last stretch hit me harder than I expected—the kind of ending that sticks with you for a bit. Messy, morally complicated, and human…. It’s a sharp, personal novel about the cost of hiding and the relief of being seen. If you’re okay with dark material and want a queer story that goes to uncomfortable places and still finds hope, I’d say this one’s worth your time.”

“It’s the kind of novel that grabs you in the opening pages and genuinely doesn’t let go…. Auswat has a real ear for authentic teenage dialogue, and the frank gay slang, unapologetic sexuality, and darkly comic observations give the book a modern feel. This is a gay story told from the inside, with no interest in softening its edges for a broader audience, and that is refreshing.”

“Good storytelling is good storytelling, regardless of the genre. And Hunter’s Hidden Camera proves that point with nerve, humor, and momentum. Anthony Auswat delivers a novel that’s a coming-of-age story, a thriller, a dark comedy, and a meditation on shame and secrecy…. Fearless...wildly entertaining...a page-turner with a beating heart. It’s also a reminder that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t what’s hidden on camera, but what we’re afraid to admit about ourselves.”
