I really enjoyed Kay Berrisford's Catching Kit.
From the first time we see him, I fell completely in love with Kit, the 'Ethereal Being' or EB, which he was classified as by the government.
Jolly Old London, you see, is infested with elves. The government has its own squads of pest removal officers in white vans whose aim is to remove the EBs from the streets before word can get out. The EBs are then taken away and dealt with - and they never come back.
Denny, from whose viewpoint we see the action...more

2.5 stars. Denny is a government operative who captures and imprisons EB's (elves) who are considered to be parasites leeching off the human race. Kit is the elf that changes Denny's mind.
This is probably a book that others will enjoy more than me. IMO it's way too short to satisfyingly tell the story the author wants. There is Denny's poor relationship with his daughter (of which much is made but nothing really resolved). I don't think we even meet the daughter although she is frequently mentio...more

This was a very (very!) unique story. I've not read anything quite like it. A guy whose job it is to catch EB (Ethereal Beings) and one of the EB's himself an Elf named Kit. It's kind of awkward in the beginning but then there is a real charm to it. What happens, all those involved, it just all comes together in a neat little package. Not remotely realistic - so suspend your disbelief..but then it's paranormal so you should already be doing that. I enjoyed it!
I have been looking forward to this one since I first heard about it, and it does not disappoint ^__^ I like the take on Elves, and I adore Kit (and where he got his name :3). Denny was my fav though, a guy who seems a little lost and a lot lonely, with nothing quite working the way he wishes it would. Then Kit comes along and messes it all up further, and yet it all comes together in the end.

3.5 stars.
It was decent. I thought it was a fun new take on elves and a fun way to mix the modern world with historical tidbits. I thought it was great fun seeing Kit and Denny mesh so well. I didn't really like how the fetishes ended up being described. I like sexy clothes, and using heels to help with kissing was cute, but the crossdressing didn't feel right to me. None of the sex worked for me as well as it should have, given the scenes.

What I ADORED
* cross-dressing. Both character did it, and it's even described, in details, while Denny is cross-dressing. I loved it. It was the first time I read a a cross-dressing scenes described so well!
* the elf is fun :D I laugh a lot. Kit is a funny character
* it's very erotic. I like erotic stories :-)
* I was afraid it would be a book with just bitchy women, but it wasn't. I was glad Denny's ex wife wasn't an unpleasant character. She was just having a bad day, that why she was so impoli...more

On one hand I really loved this book, on the other I found it kind of frustrating.
Why I loved it:
- Great chemistry between the leads. I felt like there was genuine conflict. The banter was fun, and I loved the way the captor/captive dynamic worked at the beginning, although I'd have preferred Kit to be a bit more of a trickster.
- Denny's relationship with his ex wife and daughter was really wonderful.

It's not bad, I guess, and I certainly liked it better than the other Barrisford book I read.
The sex still seemed really random, though, and the overall effect was a bit...scattered.
I do rather like the cover, though. I like the body language and facial expressions, especially that little smirk on Kit's face, although for some reason, I pictured him with longer hair and not so...serpentine.
I agree with Derr, though, in that I liked this new take on elves, too.

Novella length -- Sharp, sexy, fresh, a wonderfully unique take on opposites attract. The sexy thief and the big, burly 'officer'.
What I loved even more was the scenes on London Underground; the eery magic of a busking elf musician. Whats not to like about that! ;p
A fab read - I devoured it in one sitting. Look forward to more contemporary themes from the author :-)

This is a interesting book, that i am glad i read. its about a future society that sees elves as threats to their society and a man employed to hunt them.
Sounds heavy, but its is charming, funny and romantic as the policeman falls for the elf and unintentionally becomes a freedom fighter for the elves!
Kit the elf is a lovely character!!!

Lol! So adorable! And romantic and hot. Loved it! Kit is so endearing, I really liked him. And the hero (whose name escapes me) is just as likeable, but differently. I love a happy ending, especially when it's as perfect as this. Sigh.
I like this unique take on elves aka ethereal beings aka EB's. Although I wish we actually got to see a scene with Kit interacting with Denny's daughter Jen. I like guys with kids. ^_^
3.5 stars. Good paranormal m/m romance about a guy who works for the British government, capturing Ethereal Beings (aka elves). When he unexpectedly becomes close to one of his captives, everything changes. I was a bit frustrated by the epilogue, which took place a year after the main story, because all the stuff that was mentioned in the epilogue as having occurred during the intervening year seemed like it needed to be a story in itself!

Way more enjoyable than I anticipated! I really fell into the world that was built, and I totally bought it. I liked both MC's and thought it was a hot, fun book!

There is a potential to the story but just a little short to my liking. Wish it was a novel instead of a novella.

3.5 Stars. Could have been better but I thought it was a bit too short to really flesh everything out.
