About this book

From the author of The Saint of Heartbreak comes a moody and haunting demon romance set in the South. Stoic and lonely, Sebastian Sica operates outside the purview of the Catholic Church and assists demon hunters and people in need. One night, at a fraternity house, he strikes an unconventional deal: If the demon, Berith, leaves his host, Sebastian will spend one night with him.

At the most inconvenient times, Berith haunts him, and both Sebastian and the demon, unused to company and gentle touches, grow more familiar with one another while they navigate new possessions and spend rainy nights at a greasy spoon with a sign that glows an infernal red. What they have jeopardizes what they know about themselves and endangers Sebastian when Berith’s master in Hell learns of their burgeoning relationship.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is a 52,000 word angsty romance between an emotionally repressed trans man priest protagonist and an even more emotionally repressed demon. It has an HEA.

Reader Reviews

Have you ever immediately started a book and just fell in love with the prose

March 31, 2026

I'm going to have a hard time reviewing this one, because absolutely nothing I can tell you will do it justice. Have you ever immediately started a book and just fell in love with the prose? Before the characters were even known to me I was in love with this book because it was beautiful and captivating and haunting and just truly, truly perfect. And then, I met the characters, and I fell even harder. I said many times while reading that Morgan should just directly @ me next time, because I so...

Great book!

“You are haunted by the impermanence of everything you do.” This is an emotionally devastating and surprisingly tender story of a trans man masquerading as a priest (sort of?) on his own terms and a demon, Berith, who doesn’t want to leave him be. “He can never forget that he’s dealing with a demon, no matter how he has learned to pity them because nothing is sadder than being abandoned by God.” I love Sebastian and Berith as characters and all their flaws within them. Sebastian really...

Not for me

The concept of this was intriguing, but the execution didn’t really work for me. It was technically a short read, but it felt double the size. And not in a good way. There was so much talking. Just as something interesting would happen, there would be a load of dialogue that would ruin the momentum. The pace was just off. I felt the ache of loneliness and grief, but never felt any chemistry between the main couple. Individually they were interesting, but together there was zero oomph. I could...

10/10!

First off, I want to preface my review by saying this was a wonderful read. Very respectful of trans identities (as I am also trans) and the allegories are just so perfectly befitting and relatable. I rewrote several lines into a liveblog chat with a fellow trans friend just because I felt so strongly about them and dropped the link to this book for them to purchase one day soon. I will say that my sole critique is that there were a handful of typos throughout the book. Most are negligible — an...

This was so good! I don't generally read religious romance books, but this was very well written. The story was easy to follow and I absolutely loved Sebastian and Berith together. Priest and demon?? YES GIVE ME. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. )
