I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to think ofThe Vault of Dreamers by author Caragh M. O’Brien. I’ve never read any of the author’s previous works but quickly looked up herBirthmarked novels on Goodreads and saw relatively positive reviews, so I was ready for anything. I can honestly say that ...

Talk about creepy. A school called The Forge, where artists are talents are nurtured and expolited on the ultimate reality television show.

It was too slow, way too slow. It ...

Rosie Sinclair is a student at the Forge School - a school where you are voted to stay or go (much like American Idol or other reality shows). Everything is televised and nothing is private.
