This book is an exciting read from start to finish.  Each main character is well thought out and developed.  I found myself honestly caring about what happened to them as I read.  Ishtar Bound is the first in a series of good vs. evil placed in an everyday (but magical) setting and it lays a solid foundation for what I fully expect to be a thrilling ride.  Ms. Gibson took a tried and true genre, whetted my appetite and then tossed in a few unexpected twists along the way.  Without revealing anything specific, the driving force of Maeve's magical abilities is totally unique to anything I've ever read and is without a doubt one of the most fascinating and refreshing ideas I've come across in some time.  This is a story which contains black murder, intrigue, magic and folklore - all in abundance.  I would be remiss if I failed to mention that there is also a wonderful love connection that will keep you wondering until the very end of the book.  Well done and I'm really looking forward to Transit of Ishtar!
