A Weapon of Opportunity by Kiernan Kelly is an intriguing and fast paced mystery with a ghostly twist.
A Weapon of Opportunity is not your typical ghost story. It is a well-written novel with many fascinating twists and turns. Ms. Kelly avoids overwhelming the reader by slowly revealing the supernatural content over the course of the novel. The ghostly and paranormal elements of the story are quite inventive and believable.

A Weapon of Opportunity is a whimsical, entertaining story with good characters and a quick paced mystery. In some ways the story is similar to others – the ghost lover and detective are reminiscent of Drew Zachary’s series and the astral projection is eerily close to a current horror movie Insidious. Despite those reminders this story remains interesting and enjoyable to read from start to finish. I heard somewhere this is the start of a series and if so, then definitely one to watch.

A Weapon of Opportunity was an entertaining read, but it also had some problems which might not be as big for other readers as they were for me.
The story is well written and some solutions in the paranormal aspect of the story were quite original. The characters were undoubtedly male and there is humor in the book too, which is a big plus for me.
The tone of the story is uneven though, as if author couldn't quite decide whether to go to the direction of Ghost Busters or The Exorcist, comedy or ho...more

Hunter is a detective with an empath power. His partner, David, has been dead for five years, but choose to linger in this world and help Hunter to solve cases. David sometimes "hitchhike" from Hunter's emotion to be able to feel

A well-written thriller and a romance? Yes, it's possible and Kiernan Kelly never lets the pace slip as we race against time to stop a killer. Steamy scenes are interspersed with a well conceived plot featuring ghosts, psychics and a very special little boy. The only niggle for me was the first erotic scene which I couldn't stomach. I understand it was a device to demonstrate contrast with later erotic scenes but I still had to skip it and move on swiftly. Looking forward to more material from t...more
CAUTION: Spoilers
I like this but I didn't really like the ending even though it was HEA. Sure, David came back and reunited with Hunter...but he's still a ghost! What happened to the issue of David being dead and Hunter aging as time goes by while dead David still look the same? Is it possible to have a future with a ghost as a lover? At the same time, I'm conflicted because I despise bittersweet stories and I didn't want David to be gone. I do want David back with Hunter, but I wanted David bac...more

I do like a good ghost story and when there is hot sex involved, that's just icing :)
As usual the one thing that drives me NUTS is the time frame is so freaking long. To be together for 10 years... alive, and then 5 years after David's death and STILL not have actually talked about their feelings. What is with men??? :) Usually a near death experience will get guys talking but not even a return from beyond the grave got these guys to open up and say what should have been said.

What an interesting, inventive read! I love how much detail you went into with the ghosts and their abilities Kiernan. I read this late last night, and I gotta say it gave me chills thinking about the possibilities while reading this...it was totally believable, at least to me :p. Well done on another awesome read. Nxx
This paranormal story had a slow start but after the warmup, it just cruise all the way to the end. Intriguing plot that had me hooked and interesting style of writing had me holding on my kindle till wee hours of this morning. Recommended!
3.5 stars. Good paranormal m/m romance about a gay cop in love with his straight partner, who was killed in the line of duty five years earlier... but his ghost remains.

That was a fantastic ghost story and I couldn't stop reading till I'd finished it.
3.5 stars
Considering that
*I do not like ghosts (should have read the description better, I know),
(view spoiler)
I actually enjoyed the plot.

I enjoyed this book very much. Usually,I do not enjoy depictions of children in this genre but I found Cooper adorable. Probably because he didn't talk...:)
Loved Hunter and David.
