Title: Perfect "Lost Story" To The Series
Review: Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas definitely deserves five stars in my book! I choose this rating because it's a brilliant "lost story" and Michael Scott, again, delivers excellently. He keeps the characters in character, even when this isn't technically part of the series. Overall, I loved it.I really liked the idea for the story. I mean, even the title is catchy! Billy is hilarious, and I love him, so I was very comfortable with the story, since it was told mostly in his view point. (Though in the third person.) I'm a huge fan of Michael Scott's work, and this was definitely awesome to read, especially after reading the main series.I would recommend this product to fans of The Secrets Of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, and fans of Michael Scott. Fantasy readers would enjoy this too, but probably more if they read the series first, since this is a little add-on. I'm very happy with this book: I found it witty, action-packed, and interesting.Keep up the good work Michael Scott!

Title: another great read!
Review: Michael Scott has written another fun book. I read this one to my 11 year old son in a couple of evenings.It was too short! We want more - and are reading faster than Michael is writing unfortunately.Off to another book - this was short, fun and entertaining.

Title: Amazing and entertaining.
Review: I've read only one other Michael Scott novel, The Alchemist, but was enchanted. This short story was a an easy reminder of why I was taken with the first novel. Bright, visual descriptions, intriguing characters and settings move you through the story without weighing it down. Since I just cleared out a closet and found four more of his books that my daughter had collected I'll be reading more of this author momentarily.

Title: Great Story to add to the Series!
Review: An GREAT short story to go along with the amazing series "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" by Michael Scott. Focusing on two of the series' most popular characters, Scathach and Billy the Kid, this "lost" story is set only a few short years before the main storyline of the 6 book series takes place. Billy and Scathach, who in the main series act as though they have never met, team up to take down some bloodsucking vampyres! And what better place to have savage vampyres controlling then the sin city of Las Vegas, NV? But, Scathach is after a bit more then revenge when she enlists the help of the Kid.This short companion story is fast paced and full of action! Scott does an amazing job of keeping the story moving along, while at the same time throwing in little bits that gives us some insight into why these two characters act the way they do when it comes to the main books.A fantastic quick read! Worth every penny!

Title: A welcome return to the Nicholas Flamel world
Review: An enjoyable little short fiction featuring a notorious American outlaw and some action. I like how the series incorporates elements from universal mythology with world history and such. It makes the world so much more interesting and intriguing.

Title: Billy and Scathach
Review: This is a short story book in the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel book.Billy the Kid has been entrusted to deliver Pandora's Pot to Scathach the Warrior. Scathach then recruits him on a little adventure. We find out more about the man that Scathach and her sister Aoife fell in love with and get to see a more vulnerable Scathach. In the end a friendship blossoms between Scathach and Billy the Kid. Both characters are great and the author has done a great job in developing them.I'm still not sure where exactly this story takes place because I remember Billy the Kid having this pot in his trunk in one of the first few books. I also know that he never led on that he knew who Scatach was in those books. But the author does do a nice job in covering that up by having Scathach tell Billy never to admit to knowing her. I think that perhaps the author has made plans to have them work together in the next book or so and is trying to form ties between them in this book to explain/ make sense of whatever happens in the next book. I have to say that Michael Scott's writing is getting better and better with each book and I was really happy about that.Overall, this is a nice read, short, sweet and has made me miss the world Michael Scott has created. Nice addition to the series for sure.(

Title: My son & I can't get enough of the Alchemyst's world!
Review: My son and started reading the Alchemyst series a while back, and we both love the mix of mythology, fiction and history. Scott creates a rich world of characters (some of which I hope he returns to when this series is over).We also started reading the short stories to tide us over between books, and that's where "Billy the Kid and the Vampyres of Vegas" comes in. We both really liked Billy's character when he was introduced into the main story, so we were delighted to find a short story of his own.We were even happier to discover that it "co-stars" Scathach!This book fills in a little more of the back story of Billy as well as that of Scathach and her sister.The resolution seems to come a little quickly, but fans of the characters will not be left wanting for action. In fact this story makes me hope that Scott will decide to write further tales of the side characters from the Alchemyst series.

Review: I love the series of Nicholas Flamel, just started on the fourth book and found these two add-ons, about Joan of Arc and Billy the Kid at amazon. I was just wondering why these are only available in english and not in german, like the rest of the books? I am able to read them in english, too, but sometimes it is easier to understand in the own motherlanguage. One can just read more fluently and relaxed then.I wished there were more books, I hate it when a good story ends and I crave to read more.An absolute fascinating story for fantasy lovers, no matter what age! 🙂
