But as the past comes sneaking back, Nora learns that the supernatural world actually exists, Vampires, Werewolves, Faeries and all. Oh and her best friend is a Witch. With the help of Ally and her new group of friends, Nora searches for answers about her own origin and what exactly happened to her and Spencer five years ago.

Note: Though I am a kickstarter backer with early access and the official guide, I was offered pre-early access in exchange for an early review. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it in time to be a pre-release review. A very special thanks to Steamberry Studio for reaching out to me and being so understanding and patient with my delays.

Pirates in Love – Leonardo Main Story Review and Walkthrough

 

A captain of the navy, Leonardo is serious about everything.  He has a strong sense of justice, and he will do whatever he can to see that out.  He’s also kind, and he cares about doing the right thing.  Plus, he loves his cat!

Personally, I loved him!  Love his hair, love his glasses, love everything!  My biggest regret is his route is so short.  It’s only 10 chapters long with only 3 CGs.  Because of that, his character isn’t as developed, and their relationship feels kind of rushed.  I would love to see him have a sequel or be included in other spin-offs.  He stole my heart!
