In Hallie's second year at a boarding school for witches, she hones her ability to control other people--but can she control her heart? This magical M!X novel is a companion to The XYZs of Being Wicked. Now that Hallie is in her second year at Dowling Academy, she can finally move to where all of the Crafters live--which means good-bye to her arch-nemesis roommate Kendall, and hello to her best friend, Ivy. But not all change is so welcome: her newfound powers require more of her attention, and even though she wants nothing to with the black magic that allows her to control the thoughts and actions of others, she's not sure how much choice she really has.

Hallie finds a very cute distraction from her moral dilemma: Cody Rae, a fellow Dowling student who is like royalty at the school, and comes from a lineage of very powerful witches. Even though she hears he is planning to ask her to the biggest social event of the year--the Summer Solstice Dance--Hallie has her doubts about Cody. But soon she will discover they have more in common than she ever imagined...
