This is book two in the Saints and Sinners series by Devon McCormack and follows Brad and Luke's story. This story picks up mostly where the previous one ends, not much time passes between the two books.
From the blurb:
Before I came to St. Lawrence University, I didn't believe in magic.
Now I'm desperate to get my hands on a spell, even at the expense of lying to my friends.
It's not something I'm proud of, but I have my reasons.
Enter the charming, carefree Matteo Baros, who—unfortunately for both of us—becomes suspicious of me.
I expect him to rat me out.
Instead, maybe because he's such a stand-up guy, he offers to help me with a spell.
Not just any spell—a sex spell.
Not really something two straight guys can manage easily, but we find a way, and what should've been a nightmare turns into a feverish night of passion.
But there are consequences for our actions.
The spell ignites a sequence of events neither of us could have anticipated, and as the intensity of this fever between us mounts, we find ourselves caught in a war between rival covens, battling sinister forces from another realm that threaten to wreak havoc upon our world.

GreenwingReads review:
This is book two in the Saints and Sinners series by Devon McCormack and follows Brad and Luke's story. This story picks up mostly where the previous one ends, not much time passes between the two books. This is not a standalone. You'll understand much better if you've read book one first. This story does answer some of the lingering questions from book 1, but be warned it raises all new questions and ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
The premise of the book is interesting because it involves magic and demons in a world where magic is a secret. Alexei doesn't know what is going on but he is looking into what happened to his missing brother. If he hadn't seen everything with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it himself, which is why he tries his best to handle everything on his own. But he is in over his head and gets caught acting suspicious by Matteo. Alexei is Luke's roommate and Brad is Matteo's, so these two are in each other's orbit but not really close, more acquaintances than friends.
The story includes a double bi-awakening, but it's low angst. Neither MC is upset or struggles with the realization that they are attracted to a man for the first time. The evolution of the romance between Alexei and Matteo felt natural. The angst in the story very much comes from the primary plot about what is happening at the school and what the Sinners are involved in. It's all more complex and dangerous than they imagined, but they're in it together and soon brought into the fold with the other Sinners.
The plot is interesting and I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Alexei and Matteo and how supportive they are of each other. The story is full of drama, danger, suspense, and mystery. I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Cody and Seth.
Fever is currently available as an audiobook, e-book, hardback and paperback, and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
