Hellboy and The BPRD: The Goddess of Manhattan [Dramatized Adaptation]
by Christopher Golden; Thomas E. Sniegoski, Full Cast Audio
Love Hellboy and this one has Liz and Abe. Set in the 1990’s with a goddess coming back to take over the surface that Lobster Johnson and his crew had defeated in the past. Good quips and great cast made me miss that we didn’t get more Del Toro Hellboy films.
This was a lot of fun. A Duke on the run from his father in law plotting his murder and a Queen of Villainy fighting her uncle to keep him from taking her throne. Neither the Duke or the Queen are what they are portrayed to their people. Felix escapes his place and heads to Saskia’s castle to ask for help and try to prevent a war, but he is mistaken for an evil wizard applying for the job as Saskia’s librarian. He takes to job and is soon getting the mess of books fixed. Slowly they realize they have feelings for one another but don’t act on it. Felix’s secret comes out and the happy ever after ending shows up and the payoff was great. I really liked this one and can’t wait to see what happens with the next couple in the series.
