Every
devil has a beginning...
From the outset of young Lord DeVere's arrival at Westminster School, his scandalous family secrets set him apart from the other aristocratic scions as an "untouchable." Akin to a dark shadow following him, the ugly truth remained that his mother was indeed the biggest whore in England, and his presumed father was no less than a pox-ridden madman.
Likewise, Simon Singleton's poetic proclivities had instantly made him the bullies' mark, and even Edward Chambers' great size had served as little deterrent for the upper classmen's taunts when accompanied by adolescent awkwardness and a broad North Country drawl.
By the end of the first form, however, the three young outcasts had forged an iron-clad bond that would maintain them through nearly six years. DeVere's finely honed shell of arrogance, Ned's increasing brawn, and Sin's rapier wit gave birth to an unholy triumvirate that would come to wreak perpetual and unchallenged havoc upon Westminster School…

My
review:
The
Devil DeVere Series by Victoria Vane is one of the best series I've
ever read. The characters are fantastic, and very well written. Devil
in the Making explores the early years of Simon Singleton, Ludovic
DeVere, and Ned Chambers and their exploits at Westminster School.
Lord DeVere is already on the bad list due to the notoriety of his
family, Simon and Ned are victims of upper classmen bullies. The
three soon become inseparable friends.
Ludovic
attracts trouble without really trying. Wanting to pull a prank on
one of the teachers, Ludovic talks Ned and Simon into stealing a lion
and bringing it back to the dorm. Unfortunately, the lion has a
keeper and the trio is caught in the act. Intrigued by the lion
keeper, Ludovic makes a startling revelation.
Even
though Devil in the Making is a short story, it is rich with detail
and dialog. I always laugh out loud when reading one of Ms. Vane's
Devil DeVere books. The humor and wit are priceless. The detail in
the writing shows Ms. Vane has done extensive research. This story is
just the right length for a quick and fun read. I would recommend
Devil in the Making to anyone who likes to be entertained by a great
story.
