Dark Apprentice by Val Neil
dark
funny
A wannabe dark wizard gets more than he bargained for when he apprentices for the world’s most powerful mage, an immortal woman who kills more students than she graduates. Dark contemporary fantasy, no romance.

The protagonist is written to be an accurate portrayal of someone with antisocial personality disorder (colloquially known as psychopath). He has a very transactional view of relationships and zero qualms about manipulation. This may be triggering if you're the victim of such tactics. I strongly advise reading the first chapter to see if the book is a good fit.
