Kenna: Kenna is a teen who is about to discover who and what she really is. The biggest question will be is she a light fae or dark fae? On the day Kenna discovers where she stands in the world of the Fae, she finds her own actions may have foretold her fate and the life she expected may be gone forever.
Juliet: She is Kenna’s mother, a little quirky, not very powerful and she left the fae world before Kenna was born. Only Juliet knows who Kenna’s true father is. The day he comes strolling in, the biggest worry Juliet had was how to deal with empty nest syndrome. Could it be her own prayers for a special someone have been answered or is Fate having a good laugh at her expense?
Susan: Juliet’s best friends long ago, do they still share enough of a bond to re-kindle their friendship? While Susan’s heart has been simmering for years for the hot and powerful light fae warrior, when in range of each other, they seem to set off fae repellent. Maybe its time to communicate, will it mean two hearts filled with love or finally closing the doors on a toxic relationship.
Some authors just grab that literary bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground with the strength of their writing. Others, like Scarlett Dawn had enough flash and flare to not only beat the bull down, but make it look easy while they are at it!
Do you love the magic and daring of the Fae? How about that ever so regal attitude or the feel that not only have you entered a different realm, but perhaps another century, that is until someone pulls out their cellphone and kind of skews even the best dreamers’ visions. I do believe Scarlett Dawn may be the queen of dialogue as she has me choking with laughter when she gets inside the minds and mouths of teens, the arrogant fae and one mother at her wit’s end! Fabulous Fae reading, fabulous Scarlett Dawn writing. Proving that Reality may be overrated and too much time spent there is time missing out on great reading!
I received this review copy from Scarlett Dawn in exchange for my honest review.

Kenna’s Story
When someone is banging on her door, Kenna is sent down a path that will change her life forever. Everything she knew about herself and her life with her mother is about to drastically change. Kenna discovers the world of the Fae and that she is one of them.
Now that she knows they exist, she visits the world often but won't truly be one of them until her 18th birthday.
It all comes down to Light or Dark Fae and which world Kenna must abide.
I loved Blood Tree: Part 1. I'm a fae junky to begin with but this offers such a unique and original tale, I devoured the story and still wanted more. Thankfully its just the beginning, because I can't wait to see what comes next.
Juliet’s Story
Juliet’s side of the story, Juliet being Kenna’s mother.
Ostracized from the light fae world by her own parents because she is pregnant with what could possibly be a dark fae child, Juliet must traverse a new world on her own.
Juliet has sacrificed and done everything she could to give Kenna the best life possible while trying to guide her into the world of the light fae but ultimately blood can’t be denied.
Now it seems Juliet has decided to take something back for herself and oh, boy is it something big. Maybe back isn't the right word but she is realizing that Kenna won't always be around and needing her, so its time she starts living for herself too.
Juliet is unexpected reunited with Kenna’s father on the very night Kenna discovers her true mate.
It all comes down to light and dark, love and lust... Can the two every meet and what happens when it does? Honestly, I can’t wait to find out!
Part Two gives us greater insight into the Blood Tree community with some shocking and amazing revelations to boot.
Susan’s Story
To Susan, Losing her best friend, Juliet, was devastating. She has always hoped for the reconciliation of their friendship and always watch from the side lines to help when needed.
Susan is under Randor’s command, on a special mission for the light fae, watch over their leader and his mate. This puts her back on the side lines watching but this time its Juliet’s daughter and her King lives at stake. Whispers of a plot that could tear their world apart is all Susan has to go by but she will do her best as always.
Susan has always harbored a yearning for her commander, Randor, but he’s never shown her any signs of interest. Now he is dropping hints, he wants more. Can she have everything she dreamed of having, her friend, Randor, or will a pride filled plot tear her dreams of friendship and love to shreds?
Wow, I didn’t see that coming. Talk about serious family issues.
With the addition of Susan’s side of the story, I just can’t help but still want more.
The combination of these three character’s story to make Blood Tree: Silver Edition truly a romantic urban fantasy on steroids, you can’t help but become engrossed in their lives. Total. Book. Hangover.
First I have to say, OMG! Where does Dawn come up with these fabulous stories? They seem to just pop out of nowhere and blow me away every time. Her creativity is pure genius and her writing style completely sucks me in…EVERY.FREAKIN’.TIME.
Blood Tree: Silver Edition is another obvious must read by Ms. Dawn; an imagination explosion put into a marvelous storytelling for us to enjoy. Light Fae, Dark Fae, we have been gifted with an entirely new world to explore!

I received an eARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Blood Tree: Silver Edition by Scarlett Dawn is a fantastic new world about the light and dark fae and a mother/daughter duo who must learn to navigate that world. This special edition of the series contains Kenna’s and Juliet’s story along with a bonus short story told from their mutual friend Susan’s point of view.
The story begins with Kenna, Juliet’s daughter. She thought her mother was crazy with all her rules and paranoia until one night Juliet sends Kenna away with the instructions to follow the music and the white roses to safety. Yet there was music and a path of white roses that led Kenna right into the realm of the light fae! At the age of 13, she didn’t know that this was where she descended from. I like Kenna, even if she is a bit misguided. She knows who she is and what she believes and no one is going to tell her differently. She loves, she hates, and she follows all the rules laid out by her mom and the light fae with no question, but maybe a bit of impatience.
Part two of the story is Juliet’s story. It explains why she is an outsider and who Kenna’s father is. Juliet is a strong character and easily likable. She was raised a Light Elf, followed all the rules, until the night of her Blood Tree. Celebrating she has a one night stand, unfortunately that one night stand happened to be a Dark Elf. So Juliet’s life is upturned. She is forced to leave the only life she’s known by her parents who she thought she could turn to. She is now going to live in the human realm as a single mother AND she has to keep the father a secret. Juliet is a devoted mother, whose sole focus is protecting her daughter and ensuring she is Light.
The last story is Susan’s. She grew up with Juliet, she was her best friend until the night she took her out to party and she wound up getting pregnant by a dark elf. She owed Juliet and Juliet cashes in when her daughter Kenna stumbles into the light realm. Susan quickly becomes Kenna’s friend as well, loving her as she did her mother. Susan is spunky and a rock to the two lead ladies so I really enjoyed reading her story.
The plot of this series focuses on the Juliet and Kenna. They are unique to the fae and their love for each other knows no boundaries. Juliet will do anything to protect her daughter even going into self-imposed exile. Kenna will do whatever she needs to keep her mother happy and safe. In addition to the mother-daughter dynamic, there is quite a bit of steamy romance. Kenna has Julius, the leader of the light fae. Juliet has Kenna’s father (sorry no spoilers from me!), and Susan has her own crush.
Overall I really enjoyed this book! It’s a fast read with a page-turning pace. I enjoyed all three ladies’ points of view. And the world-building…phenomenal! However please keep in mind that this is new adult paranormal romance and there are quite a few steamy scenes. So sorry! No kiddos please. If you enjoy new adult, fantasy, paranormal romance, than this is the book for you!

Kenna's story:
I enjoyed Kenna's story very much. But I wanted to know more about them. It was just too short.
Juliet's story:
Wow, Juliet's story was much, much better than the previous one. I enjoyed the tension between her and Samuel, their sizzling chemistry... well, everything about them.
Susan's story:
I liked Susan's story but I was disappointed it was more about other characters than Susan and Randor. It felt like they didn't have enough space to develop their relationship so it was rushed.

I have been honored to read all of these stories as they came out, and this edition gave me a little bonus story that I was beyond hungry for.
Once again, Scarlett has drawn me into this fantasy world where I want to know anything and everything. Her characters, the setting, even the turmoil...I just want to wrap myself up and never leave!
So, since I've already reviewed both Kenna's and Juliet's stories (which are the first two in this book), I'm going to give you my thoughts on the "bonus" story about Susan and Randor.
*sigh*
Susan is Juliet's old friend...because of events past, they aren't as close as they used to be but that doesn't stop Susan from making sure Juliet is safe. She still cares deeply for her friend and since Juliet is the weakest of the weak in the Light Realm, it's very easy for her to be taken and taken advantage of.
Randor is Julius' second in command. Now that Julius is pre-occupied with his love, Randor keeps an eye on things in the Light Realm...but, he's been watching the wrong charge. And when he enlists Susan to help him keep an eye on things, well...let's just say nothing goes to plan.
Now, there is a very angry Ruler of the Dark Elves and a power struggle to keep from causing a war between Light & Dark. Can Susan and Randor help to reestablish peace between the Elves?
What about each other? Can they focus on their chosen task of helping the Dark Ruler so they can finally succumb to the desires of their hearts?
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Susan is nosy, and smart. She has a huge heart but made stupid mistakes...and she's lived long enough to know, it takes time to forgive. She's held a flame for one man...and the time has come to see if it's returned.
If you enjoy a little fantasy mixed with your romance--a time and place that has nothing to do with reality, pick up Scarlett Dawn's books...any of them! This is a great start, it's short, it's sexy, it has enough suspense and angst to keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more.

As with the previous two books in this series, I absolutely loved this book. At first I was confused because this book contains the first two, first Kenna's story, then the second, Juliet's story. I skimmed through those pages making sure there hadn't been changes made to the stories, but no they were the same. Then I finally hit upon the story that I was hoping for. Susan's story, and while the story still very much involves The first two couples. Susan's story takes the stage in this book. So if you haven't read Blood Tree part 1 & 2, no need it's all right here. I love this author's writing, she has a great, vivid imagination and can really turn up the heat between lovers. I definitely recommend and having read some of her other work, as well, I will continue to watch out for anything from this super talented author. I was generously provided a complimentary advanced reading copy of this book for an honest review.

This wasn't as good a story as Scarlet Dawn's Cold Mark Saga was. Though what makes it worth reading is that it's a really quick and fun for the most part read. What made me dislike it a bit is that I felt that the endings of each story were kind of hurried and even though the stories were more or less interconnected I still felt like a lot was missing...

Enjoyable read
I love any type of PNR books and this was no exception. It was easy to read, the characters were likeable and I loved how the story progressed with them all becoming intertwined.

Light and dark elves aren't suppose to get along but love has no limits. I couldn't put the book down. Highly recommended!

I’m biased as
I LOVE Anything Scarlett writes. She draws you in and makes you one with the characters. You actually care about them and get to see them grow. Another great story.

I have previously read Blood Tree parts 1 & 2 when they were published seperately. I will include those individual reviews below, as well as do a review for this combined edition.
Kenna's story - I am a fan of this author, and couldn't wait to get stuck into this novella.
The story itself starts out really well, the fantasy storyline instantly drawing me in, and giving me an insight into a world we can only dream about.
The characters are all well written, there is a good storyline throughout, and as expected from this author there is a lot of hot action between the main characters.
It was quite a quick read, and therein lies one of two gripes I have!
As soon as the first major plot line had played out the story jumped ahead several years. It tended to do that a lot throughout, and that did make me feel I missed so much of the story which hasn't been written yet. I really would have liked this to have been a longer story, with the missing timeline being filled in a bit more.
My other main gripe is the ending. I seriously thought that the ending was leading to another part of this story. However, I quickly discovered that part two is going to be the mothers story. I believe it would be a great disappointment if the author didn't reconsider and create another book from the daughters point of view as I feel there is so much more to her story just waiting to be told. And I for one would most definitely read it!
Those minor gripes aside, I really enjoyed the story.
Juliet's story - After reading Blood Tree Part 1 I wasn't sure whether or not this book would make any difference to how I felt about the characters. Part 2 is the story of Kenna's mum, Juliet. I was totally wrong in my initial worries as this book was a good addition to the series.
Being able to see Juliet's past allowed me to understand why she did what she did with Kenna previously, and why she chose not to tell Kenna anything about her past and possible future.
We discover a lot more about Juliet's past, and we find out a few secrets previously unknown.
Again this is a novella so is a quick read. It is well written, the characters again are written well. And, as expected for this author, there are some hot sex scenes thrown in for good measure! The language is brilliant, there is swearing but it is necessary to the story.
I still feel like there is more to be told from both Juliet and Kenna, and I would love to see more from them in the future.
In addition to the two novellas there is also a short story involving Susan. If I'm totally honest, although the story in itself is written well, I honestly didn't see that it added a huge amount to the overall story. It almost feels like I could quite happily have left it with the original two novellas.
New to the series readers will no doubt enjoy the added extra the author has provided. It does provide us with a little more in the lives of Kenna, Juliet and their respective partners.
All in all a good well rounded story with plenty of hot action, exactly what is now expected from this author.

It almost feels like I could quite happily have left it with the original two novellas.
New to the series readers will no doubt enjoy the added extra the author has provided. It does provide us with a little more in the lives of Kenna, Juliet and their respective partners.
All in all a good well rounded story with plenty of hot action, exactly what is now expected from this author.
October 27, 2015
Part One: Kenna
Blood Tree is a short story that introduces the reader to an amazing new world from the crazy mind of Scarlett Dawn, and this isn't ONE to be missed!
We meet the young and beautiful 13 year old Kenna. Part One jumps every 3 years of Kenna growing up, we see her become more Feisty, fearless, and she's certainly full of surprises, definitely fun to watch her grow up into a strong an independent woman that she is by the end of Part One
Her relationship with her mother is, how shall I say, a strange one at the most, unfortunately after a series of events everything that Kenna knew about herself and her life with her mother has been an lie and is about to drastically change, which is an understatement.
Kenna discovers the world of the Fae, and the fact that she is one of them.
But which one:
L ight or D ark
You keep reading hoping there more pages to go, only there isn't, NOT until the next instalment.
Part Two: Juliet
Juliet, as we saw in Part One of this little series, is a fierce, protective, mother to Kenna and you can't help but love her for that.
This story tells us of how Juliet became pregnant with Kenna and the trials & tribulations that she when through to get to where she is today, at Kenna's Blood Tree awakening
We find out what happens when Juliet's past catches up with her and man, oh, man, is it worth the read.
You'll see the struggles she has had to face as being a mother... and possibly find out who Kenna's father is.
I love that she goes through some of the events from Book One but from her mom's point of view.
It was really neat!
It all comes down to light and dark, love and lust... Can the two ever meet and what happens when it does?
You do not want to miss Juliet's tale!
Again this is a novella so is a quick read.
It is well written, the characters again are written well. And, as expected for this author, there are some hot sex scenes thrown in for good measure!
Part Three: Susan
We met Susan originally in Part One, where she befriends Kenna by the instruction of her mother, Juliet.
She's a funny one is Susan, and her mouth has no filter, the only thing that seems missing in her life is her elf, one she's been pining for for year, but never has the courage to make a move on him....Randor - Julius's right-hand-man
Randor is the devil in disguise, a dark, and sexual being that has a way with women, but there's just one that he wants in his life....but he's waiting for the right time to make his move...will he finally play his flute?
We also get to see Kenna & Julius and Juliet & Samuel.....PLUS, there's always a plot twist....

Part One ~ Kenna's Story
Another fascinating world to escape to!, September 12, 2015
Scarlett Dawn has done it again! With her usual flare she transports us to a world full of awesome yet completely different from all of her others. A young Kenna is unexpectedly thrown into her fairy truth & we jump forward a bit to an older Kenna who is now very comfortable in this alternate world of light vs. dark fairies. While the characters are well developed I personally would have enjoyed a little less jumping & more background, but I don't think the story was lacking from it. As always I was sucked into this tale & begging for more! Looking forward to Part 2!!
http://jenisbookshelf.blogspot.com/20...
Part Two ~ Juliet's Story
Are you Light or Dark? Guess what...In the dark it really doesn't matter!, September 18, 2015
After reading book one I found book two to be very enlightening! We are transported back in time in Mom's POV, which happened to give us a much better idea of this world where the fairies are divided: light vs. dark. The choices made in that dark room may have changed their lives forever, but it just goes to show that in the dark none of that was important at that moment. Choices = Consequences but who are the ones that actually pay the price?
I am fairly certain that anyone who has been a teenager/parent of a teenager/is a teenager now can recognize Juliet's story as any of the million versions we have lived ourselves. What you might not expect ... the snarky Ms. Juliet & how quickly she pulls you into her dilemma. I laughed just as much as I tensed up awaiting what would happen next. I have no doubt that Scarlet Dawn will bring much more entertainment with our fairy friends! Can't wait to get my hands on the next story! http://jenisbookshelf.blogspot.com/20...
Part Three ~ Susan's Story
This just keeps getting better & better!!!, October 26, 2015
These 3 stories flowed flawlessly for me. While each book focuses more on the new lead character I love that we got to revisit the characters we already met & adore in the previous books. These fairies are quite addicting & I really hope to see more from them very soon!
Pssst...Be prepared for a few more steamy steams here than the previous 2 installments.

Ok, so I have been obsessed with Scarlett Dawn since I read her Forever Evermore series, and when Kenna's story first came to light in the first book I was thrilled! I absolutely love elves..whether they be light or dark, and boy did she do her elves justice! I was instantly hooked on this story and in my heart I knew Kenna would end up a dark elf. I loved how her place in the elf world unfolded and how she seemed to handle things.
When we find out Samuel is her father I was jumping up and down with excitement! I couldn't wait to read more of how in the world that happened. I loved Juliet's story and seeing things from her perspective. Seeing the other side to Samuel was great. I think it would have been awesome to have a mom like her. I really wanted to cheer when she went for what she wanted. I loved them as a couple even though you know both couples are going to have issues.
Then!!!! This Silver Edition has come out!!! I saw there was a bonus story about Susan and I almost peed myself I was so excited! As I read it and saw the chemistry between Susan and ....Randor....wowzers!!! It was almost too much because at times I was waiting almost holding my breath wondering what was going to happen and then nothing!!! All the times she was stuck watching Julius and Kenna I just knew he was going to be ravishing her any second....then nothing just a little word foreplay and bam I'm back to being anxious!!! I tell you if I didn't love Scarlett do much I'd be cursing her for the way she writes lol. Then after much waiting and toying around the real excitement falls into play and the shit hits the fan. We get a highly pissed off Dark Elf who is seriously yummy lol. Just had to throw that in!! Then we find out Randor has a little secret!!!! Whoop! ! I'm not telling!
Overall I have loved Juliet and Kenna's stories and now I love Susan's as well. I'm rating this bad boy in at five stars!!!!!!!

I was provided an ARC of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.
I recently finished Blood Tree: Sliver Edition by Scarlett Dawn. This is a compilation of three short stories that are interwoven. The stories involve Fairies, both light and dark and the dynamic between the two.
We start with Kenna’s story which begins when Kenna is 13 years old and strange events lead to her to discover not only is she a fairy but she also finds her mate. The only problem is that she doesn’t look like a light fairy, which her mate is. As she reaches her blood tree many things come to light that answer her questions but also generates even more questions.
The second story is of Juliet, Kenna’ mother. Juliet is a light fairy who commits an act that forces her to leave her home and become an outsider while she raises her daughter. She raises Kenna on her own until Kenna’s father stumbles back into her life. She struggles with wanting to protect her daughter while still dealing with her very strong attraction to the man she is trying her very best to avoid.
The third and final story is that of Susan. Susan was Juliet’s friend growing up and is a witness to the events that led up to Juliet leaving and raising her daughter as an outsider. Once Kenna finds her mate and discovers her true self, Susan is then tasked with watching over Kenna in secret to protect her from people who might want to cause her harm.
I loved the storyline of these three stories, and the way that the two worlds interact with the human world. It gave me the feel that this fantasy world was something that could be going on right under our noses. The only criticism I can think of is that I wanted more of each story. I would have loved to have a full novel for each couples’ stories that could have delved more into the dynamic of each relationship while also explaining more about the powers of the Fairies and the differences between the light and the dark.

4.5 out of 5 stars
I received a copy of this story for an honest review for The Reading Room Blog.
Blood Tree (Silver Edition) combines three well written paranormal romance novellas into one exciting and fun package.
Blood Tree #1 (Kenna’s Story) – My favorite of the three stories, Blood Tree #1 introduces the world of Light and Dark Elves through the spunky and inquisitive eyes of Kenna Julius. Kenna is a solid heroine and I loved watching her grow from a sarcastic teen to a strong woman. This story also has a really balanced blend of paranormal action and romance.
“I took a quick step back… because gone was his gentle and polite nature. A dangerous man, with dangerous thoughts, lay behind those eyes."
Blood Tree #2 (Juliet’s Story) – Though Blood Tree #2 is Juliet’s story the real star for me was Samuel. The original Dark Elf oozes power and his chemistry with Juliet was electric. This is the steamiest of the three tales.
“I pulled her in close to my side, and silently wondered how long I had before she realized moms weren’t always right. That we didn’t have all the answers. That a parent can make a mistake. But, dammit, I would protect her until the end of time.”
Blood Tree #3 (Susan’s Story) – Susan was a key player in Blood Tree #1 and #2 so it was fun to get her backstory. Her chemistry with long-term crush Randor has a steady build to a very fiery and rewarding payoff. I would have loved a wee more back story on Susan but that may just be me being greedy.
“When I take you for the first time, I want all of you. Not just the physical. Every night and every day. Forever.”
Paranormal romance fans - if you are looking for an easy read that will keep your interest, you can’t go wrong with Blood Tree (Silver Edition).
Happy reading.

I received this ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Blood Tree: silver edition is a box set who contains Kenna's story (Blood Tree: part one), Juliet's story (Blood Tree: part two) plus a bonus story, Susan's.
Kenna:
It's a nice story. Kenna discovered at thirteen that she's an Elv. But what kind? She can enter the light elves' realm but she has the dark elves' black hair. For her to be a light one, like her mother, she just need to not have sex before she's twenty, to not kill anyone, even accidentally, and to not enter through a dark wooden door. Easy peasy. Not.
The ending is a bit week, and this ruined a bit the novella, but as I have said before, endings are not this author's stronger suit.
My vote: 3 stars
Juliet:
The first part was nice but nothing more, so I wasn't expecting much.
It was so much better!
The more mature prospective of Juliet was entrancing. It never occurred to me to consider who was Kenna's dad. And so we learn more about the original dark elf. I loved him!
Even the ending, Mrs Dawn's Achille's heel, was nice and just the right thing. I was so sad about the novella's brevity!
I'm just hoping there will be more. More Juliet, more Kenna! Please!
My vote: 4 stars
Susan:
It's true, it's a bonus story and nothing more, but I was expecting a minimum of quality, criminy.
After Juliet's story, my expectations were set high, but with this one they crushed to nothing.
Susan's story is... insipid. Hollow. Senseless.
Better to have stop reading at Juliet's, trust me.
My vote: 2 stars.
Box set vote: 3 stars

I loved how this series is a boxed set.
t
We have the story of both daughter and mother. Kenna and Juliet.
In Kenna's story, there was some sort of trouble brewing that led her mother to reveal what they truly are except not counting the chance of Kenna finding her mate the same day. It may sound easy but it isn't because there are two kinds of Elf and Juliet's kind has rules that may decided what kind of Elf Kenna is.
Kenna's very spunky plus her mate. Just. YUM.
In Juliet's story, we learned about her past. Of why she was an outsider and another familial secret revealed. Truth be told, before Juliet's story I was hoping for a certain Elf to have their own story. Little did I know about the shocking revelation in this book. And reading this, it makes perfect sense regarding Kenna.
Last but not least we have Susan's story.
Susan has been in love with a certain elf for a long time but said elf practically doesn't see her as woman. Until a certain scenario where said elf told her the truth. Although I thought his decision wasted the years they could have been together.
There's also more to this story than just Susan's love life but it pertains to the two previous heroines. I don't know whether to pity Juliet or be relieved about what happened. Still, I'm glad about a miracle for Juliet. I wished there was an epilogue seeing about these characters.

If you want three great short stories by one awesome, one-of-a-kind author, the Blood Tree boxed set is PERFECT for you!! Prepare for action, emotion, and blazing hot chemistry (Bunsen burners will explode people!) - is there a better combination???
Kenna, Juliet, and Susan are spunky, intelligent, fun women who define the phrase "breaking the mold."
Kenna's story is that fabulous forbidden love story line that we all love, with an SD twist, of course ;) She's feisty, outspoken, and even though she's afraid, she never banks down.
Juliet's story is my favorite of the three. But, second chances usually are. A mother who would do anything for her child is a woman I can respect, and though Juliet didn't always choose the best way to do things, her intentions were pure and good.
Susan's story was such a fun bonus, but it was a little less amazing than the other two. Susan is finally free from her debt to Juliet, but does she run with it? No, she does her duty. No matter how much she hates it. But alas fair in love and war ;)
Each woman gets her very own half crazy alpha elf. How wouldn't want that???

It's no secret I love Scarlett Dawn's books. I do - LOVE THEM! She's an amazing writer and her stories are so different, unique, and fascinating. This series was no different. I devoured this book. I could not put it down! It was so fast paced and full of surprises there is just no possible way you could get bored with it. I loved that there were 3 separate stories within the book, and I loved how they all sort of tied into one another. The characters were all different and had uniqueness about them that I loved. From Kenna trying to figure out the new life that she's been thrown into and finding her mate, to Juliet's story of falling for the "wrong" guy, dealing with the consequences of that and then getting to see Samuel through her eyes, and finally Susan. She was funny and loyal and I could not stop rooting for the poor girl to finally get her man! There are definitely some steamy scenes throughout and well done as usual. Ugh - I just want to go back and reread the whole thing over. So good. Definitely one you want to one-click!

I seriously liked this book. I don't know why others have not liked it because I could not put it down.

Dark and Light Elves never mix! Really wished someone would of told Kenna that before she followed the hypnotic music being played by the King of the Light Elves...she could hear it calling to her on the path behind her house! Also, she just thought her mom was weird...not so much..as she was trying to stay away from the Light and Dark altogether! Juliet was a runaway Light Fae...who just happens to go out to celebrate her blood tree and ends up sleeping with a Dark Fae...oh but not just any Dark Fae! You also get to meet her Big Mouth best friend Susan, who has eyes only for the Lights second in command! If you need anymore info...Grab the book! I mean...there are flute playing hot Elves! Humorous, Sexy, Magical...is how I would describe this journey the amazing Scarlett Dawn has brought to Light or is it Dark...who knows until their Blood Tree!

Blood Tree (Silver Edition) combines 3 paranormal romance novellas in one place.
1) Kenna’s Story 2) Juliet’s Story 3) Susan’s Story
1) Kenna discovers the world of the Fae, and not only that, she is one of them. But which 1 Light or Dark
2) Juliet is Keena's protective mother, this tells us how she became pregnant with Kenna, her father?
3) Susan was in book 1, she becomes Kenna's best friend, we learn more about her.
I loved the story line of these 3 stories, and the way that the two worlds interact with the human world. It gave me the feel that this fantasy world was something that could be going on right now. Overall I really enjoyed this book! It’s a fast read with a page-turning pace. Not for kids, This is a New adult paranormal romance and there are quite a few steamy scenes.
1) Kenna’s Story 2) Juliet’s Story 3) Susan’s Story
1) Kenna discovers the world of the Fae, and not only that, she is one of them. But which 1 Light or Dark
2) Juliet is Keena's protective mother, this tells us how she became pregnant with Kenna, her father?
3) Susan was in book 1, she becomes Kenna's best friend, we learn more about her.
I loved the story line of these 3 stories, and the way that the two worlds interact with the human world. It gave me the feel that this fantasy world was something that could be going on right now. Overall I really enjoyed this book! It’s a fast read with a page-turning pace. Not for kids, This is a New adult paranormal romance and there are quite a few steamy scenes.

I have no idea how I haven't read these novellas yet. I think I saved them for a rainy day and they became lost in my very large walk in tbr closet. I adore Scarlett Dawn and these were no different. However, even though I knew they were a series of novellas all combined it was still too darn short. There was so much potential for a more in-depth story here with these characters and this world. That is the only reason I gave it a 3 stars....it just wasn't enough! If you are looking for a couple hour read that will draw you in and make you want more....this is a great place to start

~~I received this in exchange for my honest opinion~~
After reading this book from the start to the end, it makes complete sense. Having all 3 views to the story makes it better. You get to see what each person was going through and what they were feeling. Does it change the outcome of the story? No not at all. It makes it better. I'm so glad that Scarlett added Susan story to it. It actually makes it complete.

I downloaded Blood Tree: Silver Edition as a free novella set from Amazon. These three interlocking short stories were very entertaining and full of little twists to keep the reader interested. I enjoy Dawn's writing style and world building, and I wasn't disappointed, although more depth would have been wonderful.

No real plot but entertaining
There isn't really conflict in any of the three stories - Kenna, Juliet, or Susan. Mostly just relationship stuff. The rated X factor kind of surprised me, I suppose it was necessary to give the stories some kind of meaning.
Basically just following fated relationships. No relationship building or mushy stuff.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was amazing book and they all still have their sense of humor. A Mystery also in this story but more adventure.
