Dark Mind - Fall of Magic, #2

Magic is dying out, and the only people who can stop it are a psychopathic dark wizard and an autistic mage with crippling anxiety. Nikolai and Medea must work together to determine the cause of magic dying. Their research takes them to America, where Medea struggles to navigate the ever-changing Mundane world and Nikolai struggles to get into her figurative pants. He's certain it's the key to winning her heart, but she seems oblivious to his advances and the pesky fox spirit Yoxtl won't stop cockblocking him. Medea has sensed the decline of magic for years.
Now that she has an apprentice who can help her discover the cause, she finds her own discomfort with an ever-changing society getting in the way. She's also agreed to teach Nikolai telepathy-a branch of magic that she despises and fears he'll use against her. When they stumble upon a mysterious magical signature in the unlikeliest of places-the heart of a Mundane American city-Medea hopes it could be the solution, but what they find is far more troublesome. Dark Mind is the second book in the Fall of Magic Series.
