Editorial Review: Product Description: In the sequel to The Magic and the Healing, veterinarian BJ Vaughan once again brings the benefits of modern medicine to the fantasy creatures and copes with the destructive forces that have entered Crossroads. Average Rating:
 Rating: - very good bookThis book is a very good book especally for teenagers who like fantasy. however i recommed it to anyone over the age of 13 it has romance,adventure&horror rolled into one. the way it is written is wonderful it catches the reader and takes them away. i would recommend you read The magic and the healing first as that story ends where this story begins Rating: - Magic IndeedI first started reading Under the Healing Sign when I was on summer vacation at my god parents' house. They have piles of books at that house. I know that I am glad for that though, because if they did not, I would never had read any of the books in this series. In this book, BJ Vaughan is working as a full time vet in Crossroads, the place where all the worlds meet. She has become acustomed to seeing things she did not even know existed. She tries her best to save everyone and everything, but ... Read More Rating: - One of the most engrossing I have read in yearsThis review is short and to the point. This is one hell of a good read Rating:  - Solid fantasy novelThis book is similar to the first in the series (The Magic and the Healing), mixing modern and fantastical elements (both mythological and Mr. O'Donohoe's original ideas) very well. There is some substance here, but mostly it is a fun read. A good page-turner, humor and drama are intermingled well. None of the characters become one-dimensional or (in the cardinal sin in any novel) dull. Recommended for any reader, but make sure to start with book one of the series. Rating: - Fantasy at its best! Vibrant and mesmerizing, a real treat!!If it's 3 a.m. and you are trying to figure out how to be a midwife to a centaur,then you've fallen under the spell of Nick O'Donohoe and his many and varied friends at the Crossroads. This series of books(3 so far)is both factual and fanciful as B.J.Vaughn,the veternarian, must come to terms with bringing both the best and the worst that our world has to offer to the "other Folk of Crossroads". A very good read,indeed.
