I just finished reading Illicit Miracles so far. My guesses:

Chris is Seth's twin sister -- that's why Adam reacts so strongly to Seth's face.

Adam is Lilim (I think that's how you spell it; anyway, descendant of Lilith rather than Eve), or all humans are, but either way, not of our species. I'm guessing Adam's Lilim, because the demon blood fits with the powers and maybe with Nick wanting to meet him.

Nick's a demon. Biggest possibility for angst: loving a demon dooms one to Hell, so he has to make sure Seth hates him before he dies.

The cat and the dogs were sent by a witch; she desires Adam for the same reasons Nick does. Nick could make fish bait out of her, but only at the expense of blowing his own cover from the Powers that Be.

Nick wants Adam to open something that's been sealed against humans and demons, but not Lilim (because Lilim are so rare the angels forgot).

Of the human cast, only the girl has any magical potential.

Chris won't contact Seth because she can't bear for him to see how being used in the project changed her.


It's been a fun read so far, and I'm really looking forward to reading more when it comes out.
