Everyone at Singer, a boarding school for underprivileged kids, knows the urban legend of the Society of Seven. Nearly two decades ago, the original members of this exclusive guild murdered the school’s founder and then perished in the fire they’d lit to hide the evidence. Or so the story goes.
Talan Michaels doesn’t care about Singer’s past, however. He’s too focused on his future and the fact that he’ll be homeless after he graduates in May. To take his mind off things, he accepts a mysterious invitation to join a group calling itself “the Sevens.” He expects pranks, parties, and perks. Instead, he finds himself neck-deep in a conspiracy involving secret passages and cryptic riddles about the school’s history. Even worse, he’s now tangled in a web of lies, and in a plot that someone will kill to keep hidden.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. You do not want to miss this book! By Michelle@Book Briefs 4.5/5Secret of the Sevens is an action packed young adult mystery adventure. I am a big fan of books that feature secret societies and I love puzzle solving and clues, so this was a great fit for me. I couldn’t put Secret of the Sevens down. With more twists, turns and reveals than you can count, a really cute developing crush romance, and a spooky boarding school setting, Secret of the Sevens has something for everyone.Ever since I saw the Life and Death Brigade on Gilmore Girls, I have become a little obsessed with the idea of secret societies. I wanted to be inducted into one so bad. I never was (or was I??), but I got to live out my secret society dreams through Secret of the Sevens. And their group, the Sevens even had a generation old murder to solve. Oh the intrigue! I am not going to spoil anything about this book, plot wise, because that would be no fun. But I will tell you this, the clues were a lot of fun to piece together and the puzzles and riddles had me pausing the book as I could try and figure them out before the characters. I loved what Lynn Lindquist came up with.And I loved the idea that the original founder of the school, and a seven put a trust protector in his plan for the school. The estate planner in me was totally geeking out. The idea of a trust protector is not a concept that many people know about, so I was very impressed Mrs. Lindquist! And it fit so well into the story. And for those of you that don’t love the idea of trust protectors, let’s move right along to the very cute romance in Secret of the Sevens. I loved watching Talan’s crush on Laney develop. It was really sweet, and it balanced the action packed mystery adventure wonderfully.Secret of the Sevens was a great read! I loved the boarding school setting, and I really loved the idea behind the school. It is a really great boarding school that through the generous endowment of the original Seven member was to be used to house and educate underprivileged children along with regular students. They put the orphaned kids up in on campus host family houses. It was a very noble Idea. And the mystery was so much fun to solve. You do not want to miss this book! Lynn Lindquist is an author that I want to see more of.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not compensated for my review.

By Dark Faerie Tales Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: I found this mystery to be a clean, gripping book with a suspenseful undertone that kept me hooked.Opening Sentence: I can be such an ass.The Review:The Singer boarding school is for unfortunate children — those whom are removed from families where they are beaten, foster care, drunkards. Decades ago, when the Singer school was created, the founder collected seven trusted students and made a secret society. They were entrusted with his biggest secrets and allowed a part of his riches, in return for his help keeping the school towards its original purpose of helping needy children. The rumor goes that the founder was murdered by his closest friends (in an attempt to get all of his money) in a fire they started but couldn’t escape from, killing the sevens as well.But only five bodies were found. Two of them escaped…And still live. Years later, when they are needed, the sevens are being resurrected.Talan Michaels has learning disorders that make it difficult for him in school, where he lives and learns due to his mother being in rehab. He has football skills and hookups galore. He is painfully aware that as soon as he graduates he’ll be homeless, and what job can he get without a college degree, because he can’t pay for college? When he gets a mysterious black envelope that claims he has been chosen to become a Seven, he thinks it’s an elaborate joke. He joins only because Laney, his house sister whom he can’t help being attracted to, is convinced it’s real and has gotten her own invitation. As things deepen and they realize the threat to the school, Talan must embrace his differences in order to pass the tests and save the beloved Singer school.I really enjoyed how Talan’s learning disabilities were done. It was in a way that you realized his differences and could empathize, but didn’t feel too much pity. You could also see how his brain was wired in a certain way that made it easy for him to solve the clues and riddles. He had strengths and weaknesses, both explored in the book. I must admit that the first few chapters, I didn’t like Talan very much. He had disgusting thoughts about women and would do things I didn’t agree with for his next hookup. As the story deepened he slowly developed, though still retained his sense of humor and the best parts of his personality. By the end, he had been changed by the experience and Laney.I really enjoyed the clues in this novel. As far as mysteries go, they usually aren’t my genre of choice. They get so complex and the plots become tangled until it’s difficult for me to distinguish what’s going on. This wasn’t the case for this book. The mystery was clean and engaging with enough suspense to keep me gripped. The clues weren’t too obvious, but some of them I solved alongside Talon, which made me proud of myself when I did. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed how they formatted the novel so that the reading audience could play detective as well.Altogether, I found this novel to be super good. I loved it a lot, especially the suspense and dark undertones that were subtly creepy. The story unwound at a perfect pace, not too fast and not too slow. I also adored the romance in the book. Laney was able to be a shoulder to cry on as well as her own capable force. He needed her more than he cared to admit and I liked how he could let down his walls with her. She changed him for the better, helping him keep grounded and recognize his own strengths and embrace them. Their romance was paced well too. Lynn did their relationship in a cute, relatable way that mirrored a high schooler’s crush. Also, fun was the male point of view, which was executed nicely. Prior to receiving the story, I hadn’t heard anything, and was super pleased when I enjoyed it so much! All in all I really enjoyed this book and I think mystery and suspense lovers will enjoy it!!Notable Scene:The room is empty, except for a chalkboard on one wall with a message:Yes, Talan. The letter is for you. And it’s real.My breath catches in my throat. What letter? What’s going on? I look around the room and then peer out into the hallway, but there’s still no one around.Scanning the room again, I spot a black velvet envelope with a red wax seal sitting on the ledge of the chalkboard. I go over and grab it, just as a cold sweat begins to collect under my shirt.FTC Advisory: Flux provided me with a copy of The Secret of the Sevens. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Addicting YA Mystery By Cymberle I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest reviewLooking for an interesting mystery filled with suspense and conspiracy? Look no further than Secret of the Sevens. Lots of action, sweet romance, intrigue, and good old fashioned treasure hunting make this novel a winner.Talan was an amazing character- I loved that the story was from his point of view. Cocky yet sweet, confident yet vulnerable, Ms. Lindquist did a fabulous job bringing this character to life. Just enough backstory was shared to really connect the reader to him and understand what makes him tick. Talan was the type of guy I want to be friends with. I also adored the fact that despite his ADHD, Talan was presented as intelligent and capable when he set his mind to it. The budding romance between Laney and Talan was so adorable. I haven't rooted that hard for a couple in a long time.I love riddles and cryptic clues, and this novel was full of them. I shared the characters' excitement every time a new clue arrived, The Pillars and villain Kane were quite despicable, and I couldn't wait for their downfall. The entire mystery around the Sevens and the Singers was so intriguing and well-plotted. I liked that Ms. Lindquist created a complex mystery but still made it easy to follow and understand. The only issue I had was with the pacing. There were times when it was lightning fast but others where I found myself skimming to get to the next part,If you like secret societies, conspiracies, and kids making a difference, then Secret of the Sevens is a book you'll enjoy. This is a great novel for teen guys as well, especially since the protagonist is male. I'll definitely be recommending this one to my son.
