He wants revenge, but he wants her more.

Once Upon A Time, there was a little boy.
His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy.
Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.
The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.
His dreams gone forever, he grew up way too fast.
An endless night of crocodiles, and watches made of glass.
He grew into a villain, the taste of vengeance on his tongue.
Craving to make his enemies pay for the misdeeds they had done.
Instead he found a darling girl, and refused to let her go.
For what better way to make the man pay, than to steal his little shadow.

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Okay, heck yes. I'm here for it all. Let's go! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Not a huge fan of Maria. Her little comments to Wendy frustrate and annoy me. I like the tension between her and James though. Super excited for things to explode between them. Oh, and before I forget, her dad seems like a real douche. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Well well, things are definitely getting hotter between them. I like it. I just need more. Like way more. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[Hmm, he should take her brother out of school and take them both far away. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Learning more secrets about daddy dearest is interesting. Also, things are so freaking intense between her and James. I love it so much. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-Finish: (view spoiler)[Wow. I knew her dad was a piece of shit but didn't expect him doing all of that. Hot damn. So many secrets came out to play. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[i can not. It started out okay and then it took a left turn. then it swerved back. I thought "alright, here we go..." and then nope back to being eh. I never grew to like James, he was a bit psycho. Wendy was beige and Mary Sue even after James started working on her. Somehow even killing her father and Tina didn't make her any less blah. I think me and "dark" aren't going to get along.' (hide spoiler)]
