Just wow! This book was so addicting that it was hard to put it down! The love story between Kian and Morgana is unexpected for the world they live in which makes their story even more interesting. I absolutely loved the banter between Kian and Thanatos! Thanatos was hands down my favorite character because he was so serious yet so dedicated to both Kian and Morgana. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves werewolves, vampires, and the supernatural world!

This author always delivers. There is never a dull moment in their books and this one was no exception. It's by far the best shifter book I've read. I need the second book like... Yesterday! If you love shifters, enemies to Lovers, and steamy romances, I'd highly suggest giving this one a try.

Moonlight Muse is a phenomenal Indie Author who consistently produces masterpieces. As this is my second time of reading The Alpha King's Possession, it was just as captivating as the first, with each read making me appreciate the story even more.
I enjoy stories that combines dark romance, enemies-to-lovers, family rivalries, and supernatural elements with werewolves, vampires, fae and elves.
The Moon Goddess had other plans for the waring species when it matched, Alpha King Kian and Morgana, Princess of the Vampires, who were destined to be fated mates, but their initial interactions were marked by clashes due to misunderstandings and miscommunications.
This story includes it all,
Arrogance, Hatred, Jealousy, Betrayal, Love, Spice, Witty Banter (Thanatos), War, Action, Twist and loss.
A highly recommend read!🖤🥀

I do love a good paranormal romance, but this one had a lot of fantasy elements, which I did enjoy. I did enjoy this plot, really tense and a bit on the darker side at first, but it was worth it seeing the change and progress they go through, and by the end they’re an adorable couple, I mean they always had obvious chemistry, given that they’re fated mates but you really see in the second half of the book. I like the world building We need more fmcs like Morgana, enough with the fmcs would start weak and grow to be strong (though I like it it’s overused) we need fmcs to be strong from start to freaking finish yet still grow in other ways. Kian I wouldn’t say is like a super intense super red flag dark romance guy. Like it seems like it at the start but he’s a total sweetheart, I mean it. And the tension at the start is really good and it’s always amazing watching it turn into a fierce love, who would do anything for each other. They are so couple goals. They’re amazing as king and queen and it’s been a while since I read a romance with royal or political themes so I did enjoy this. There’s a bunch of pretty good plot twist. One thing i didn’t like but then again it’s a personal thing, that big fight scene in the end was a bit too long for me, but I get that it had to happen. Either way I enjoyed this and give it a 4/5

Spice - 🌶🌶🌶🌶
Morgana Araton is a kind-hearted vampire princess, but she is also funny, sassy, fierce, and unwilling to back down. Kian Araquiel is an arrogant, commanding, ruthless young Alpha King, or Baby Alpha as she calls him, the kind of character you love to hate until you inevitably fall for him.
The tension due to the vengeance from her part and the hatred from his part is palpable from the word go! Despite his unwillingness to accept that his fated mate is a bloodsucker - a species he despises the most - fate has other ideas and slowly but surely, he finds that he can't let her go, and the same goes for her. And let's not forget the hilarious back-and-forth banter as well as Kian's hilarious wolf, Thanatos, who is a character just himself - all I'm gonna say is 'mini Kian' haha
Another fantastic story by the amazing Moonlight Muse and just like her other amazing stories will get and keep you hooked from start to finish and, like Kian says - will steal your sleep - and leave you eager for more! I'm looking forward to the following books.
Tropes:
Romantasy
Werewolves/Vampires with a hint of elves and other creatures ;)
Fated Mates
Enemies to Lovers
Feisty FMC
Possessive and grumpy MMC
Prisoner
Suspense

I read this book on GN when it was being serialized, and I loved being able to read it again. The world and characters Muse created were so well done. This book had a bit of everything, Werewolves, Vampires, and Fae. Muse writing and pacing were perfection. The spice was so freaking good.
Kian and Morgana had a rough start! Kian thought he held all the power and was in control, and Morgana said, "Hold my beer* 🤭. I absolutely loved Kian's wolf, Thanatos 🤌🏽
Morgana was a force to be reckoned with. Kian had no idea what he signed up for 😂. The character development for Kian and Morgana was everything! Kian was exactly what Morgana needed, someone to truly see her, love her, and support her. Morgana was exactly what Kian needed, someone to challenge him but also be his equal in every sense of the word. Together, they made the ultimate power couple of strength, will, and fierceness! I’m so excited for book two and to fall into the world of Dragons 😏
Thank you for the ARC 🖤

The Alpha King’s Possession is a paranormal fantasy featuring enemies to lovers between a werewolf and a vampire.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Open or Closed Door: Open door
Spice Level: 4 out of 5 peppers
Series or Stand-Alone: This is a stand-alone book that is part of a series set in the same universe of The Ruthless Kings.
Ending: Ends with a happily ever after including a look into the future
This was another enjoyable read from Moonlight Muse . Overall, The Alpha King’s Possession wasn’t my most favorite book of hers but includes solid characters, good flow, and enough action (both storyline and intimate) that you’re not likely to get bored.
Likes
-Empowering female character
-Enjoyable banter between characters, including between the MMC and his wolf
-Good amount of spice within plot
Dislikes
-MMC is so mean while internally acting like he has real feelings for FMC that he’s hard to like or find redeemable once he smartens up
Overall, I enjoyed my time with this book even if it’s not one that would end up on my would read again list.
I recommend it to anyone that enjoys spicy fantasy enemies to lovers, especially with werewolves and vampires.
I always enjoy a good enemies to lovers book, with the exception of when one of the main characters knows the other main character is their fated or they know they have feelings for them and still treat them like utter crap for a while. Especially when they suddenly decide to no longer have rectal cranial inversion without much transition or groveling, which unfortunately this book features.
That aside, Muse is one of the authors I turn to when I want a fantasy book with strong empowering female characters that also make room for humor and this book certainly fits that need.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily writing a review.

This gem of a story brings together the vampire and werewolf species.
Introducing the FMC Morgana who is not only vampire royalty but a woman we’d all aspire to be like. She is a warrior in her own right, strong, feisty, kind-hearted and she knows how to push the MMC buttons.
The MMC is Kian who is the true form of a typical Alpha and just happens to be the Alpha King of werewolves and who just so happens to be Morgana’s mate unbeknown to her.
These two strong willed stubborn characters really do bounce off each other and when Kian’s counterpart Thanatos enters the mix the banter just keeps coming.
The story unfolds where Morgana is part of the peace treaty between both species, so she goes to live with Kian. Kian is having a hard time trying to come to terms with the fact that Morgana was blessed to him by the Moon Goddess so arrogantly thinks he can ignore the pull of the mate bond. Like all true to style Moonlight Muse stories there is always an ex or two and there is no exception to the rule for either of these main characters, so this adds to the story.
Along with love rivalry you have a war between species, which introduces fae and elves into the mix.
This story has it all: twists, turns, love, spice, betrayal, action, war and unfortunately lives are lost.
I don’t want to give the plotline away as I like people to experience the story first-hand, but I will say that this story will not disappoint you.
Highly recommend adding this to your TBR list.

The Alpha King's Possession is different from Muse's other werewolf series, set in a completely different world and time. Muse really crafts an interesting story here where ancient rivalries and fated bonds collide in a tale of vengeance, desire, and unexpected destiny.
The story revolves around the dynamic between Morgana Aton, a vampire princess, and Alpha King Kian Araqiel. When her assassination attempt against Kian fails, she finds herself captured by the very target of her revenge—a man who represents everything she despises yet is inexplicably drawn to. I love their enemies-to-lovers dynamic and Morgana's fierce, independent, and defiant character. Readers seeking heat won't be disappointed either as the chemistry between Morgana and Kian crackles with intensity. Their fated mate bond adds complexity, with the wolf and vampire worlds clashing and forcing these sworn enemies to confront an undeniable connection neither wants but neither can resist. Political intrigue also weaves throughout the narrative, raising the stakes beyond the central romance and creating some plot twists that I didn't see coming when I started the book.
Overall, Muse does a great job of building a new world for these characters and creating a unique story that doesn't feel like your typical vampire or werewolf tropes. For those who enjoy their paranormal romance dark, steamy, and with a strong heroine who refuses to be tamed, you won't be able to put down The Alpha King's Possession once you start reading.

The Alpha King's Possession is enemies-to-lovers paranormal shifters romance featuring Vampire Princess & Alpha King.
Morgana Araton is a strong, fierce, sassy , kind-hearted Vampire Princess of the Sanguine Empire. Driven by vengeance for her father's death, she attempts to assassinate the Alpha King, only to be captured by him.
Kian Araquiel is feared, ruthless, arrogant Alpha King of Clair de Lune. Morgana becomes his Possession through a treaty between Vampires & Werewolves. Enraged by her defiance and not ready to accept his fated mate is bloodsucker- the very clan he despised the most, he imprisoned her.
They both are strong-willed, powerful Royals who hate each other but neither of them can resist the attraction & pull of the bond. When they both collide it starts the game of hate, vengeance, desire and passion. They challenge and compliment each other. The sizzling chemistry, love, intense emotions & steamy scenes between them are so romantic & hot. Between Desire & deniel and after going through many ups & downs together they become the ultimate power couple.
The dynamics between Kian & his wolf Thanatos and their banter is very amusing. Thanatos' "mini-kian" (iykyk 🤭) comment is hilarious. I love Morgana's "Baby Alpha" & Kian's " Little Blood Rose" nicknames for each other.
The incredible storyline with twists & turns, secrets, betrayal, romance, spice, power struggle, Royal battles with Vampires, Werewolves, Elves and Faes in the mix. The story captivates you from beginning to end.

The Alpha King and the Vampire Princess
If you think, it's just another paranormal novel, you're mistaken.
Kian and Morgana's love story didn't start easy.
A love that started from hatred, where they come from different kingdoms, and species, it's not easy.
He just get her from her home, from her people and she had no other choice then fight.
Fight against those who hate her in Kian's kingdom, the jealousy of a woman who was Kian's first choice as Luna and the attraction they most definitely have for one another.
She soon realizes things with the little help of her gift. But it's fleeting and she might have to ask for help from the King himself.
I loved this story and loved the characters. Kian was arrogant but a good king, he might felt attracted to Morgana but he knew what she has to endure if he claims her. But he was also selfish enough to keep her close to him. It was a blessing in disguise. Loved how his wolf was the joke master and how they interacted was always hilarious.
Morgana is a strong and independent woman, who feels deeply responsible for her people.
Thanks to her was a connection made between werewolves and vampires.
The story is intriguing, and mysterious enough to continue the next installment of the series.
Spice is definitely high in this one and Morgana herself knows what she wants.
Can't tell you more without spoiling the novel for you, so read it. It will be refreshing.

Once again I'm in awe with Moonlight Muse. It never ceases to amaze me the incredible story teller she is.
I wasn't a big fan of this kind of fantasie stories with werewolves and vampires, but it all changed when I met Muse's books.
She creates an entire new world, full of magical creatures and let's you be a part of her imagination.
In The Alpha King's Possession we are introduced to a new universe, where werewolves, vampires, fae and elves co-exist, sometimes not so peacefully, and where everything you thought you knew about this magical beings is put aside an recreated.
It's a story of passion and love, but above all of character, courage and strength.
As per usual it makes you cry, laugh and with every twist and turn that Muse write's in the plot, you feel like you are there, alongside all of the characters of this amazing story. Oh and don't forget those blushing moments with just the right amont of spicyness.
All wrapped up it's another fantastic book by my favourite author, and believe me once you start this particular one you won't stop until you read the final page.
Congratulations Moonlight Muse on another great one.

This is the perfect way and a perfect couple to start this series off with.
It's the age old conflict between Werewolves and Vampires. You have spice, plots, and chemistry that you can feel with each page turned and each line read.
Morgana is a Vampire Princess, when her father passes the kingdom goes under her brothers reign.
Kian is the King of Werewolves. The Alpha of Alpha's. He's determined to make a werewolf his luna, but what he wasn't ready for, was her. When Kian followed an intense amazing smell, it brought him to the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Enthralled, he wants to learn more. Knowing where her scent came from, he decided to go and make a treaty with the vampires.
What does he ask for? Morgana.
Being the princess, Morgana didn’t expect her brother to agree. But when he did, her life changed
He didn't expect his mate to be so feisty and have the aspects to be the perfect luna.
"So, try to k!ll me as many times as you f#ck!ng want. I don't give a f#ck. You're still my lethal desire."
From enemies to lovers, this book gives you everything your looking for while getting you set up for Book 2!

The Alpha King's Possession by Moonlight Muse dives into the classic enemies-to-lovers trope with a twist—vampires and werewolves. Morgana, a vampire, is everything you want in a strong female lead: stubborn, impulsive, passionate, confident, yet deeply compassionate and kind. She’s completely comfortable in her own skin, and honestly, she’s one of my favorite Muse characters to date—already strong and a total badass from the jump.
Kian, the werewolf alpha, is proud and self-assured, with a streak of stubbornness to match Morgana’s. But what makes him interesting is his quiet willingness to change for her, even if he doesn’t realize it himself.
Their chemistry is electric as they navigate a forbidden connection between two species who are supposed to hate each other. The story has a few unexpected turns that keep things interesting, even if it wasn’t my favorite of Muse’s works. That said, it’s still an entertaining, easy read—perfect if you’re in the mood for a passionate, enemies-to-lovers supernatural romance.

Kian & Morgana
Werewolves and vampires can't be together. Especially when for the Alpha King, everyone expects a werewolf Luna, not a vampire princess. So the only solution Kian finds to have his mate close is by taking her as a slave - as his possession, under a peace treaty. With hatred and poisonous feelings between them and the threat of war among species, their bond is the only thing that keeps them alive.
Things I liked in this book:
- The tension and enemies-to-lovers trope. Definitely loved this.
- The battle descriptions. They were very detailed and I felt like living them, as if I were present.
- The spicy moments were so so good.
- The banter and fun discussions of Kian with his wolf, Thanatos, which in Greek means Death. He might be lethal, but for his mate, he was a puppy.
- The mention of a S!xy elf prince, whom I picture as Legolas! Yummy!
- The plot and struggle kept me going.
All in all, it was a great book. It's the second time I'm reading it, and I enjoyed it even more than the first time.

All in all, it was a great book. It's the second time I'm reading it, and I enjoyed it even more than the first time.

This is not your typical werewolf book and Morgana is not your typical Luna. For starters she is a vampire traded to Alpha Kian as part of a peace treaty. Morgana doesn't take this laying down and she challenges Kian every second she gets. She is a sassy and opinioned Vamp who underneath it all actually cares for the pack.
Kian is the Alpha King who meets his match in Morgana. Recognising her as his fated mate he tries to ignore the bond as he thinks the pack will think less of him for not having a wolf mate. When he finally gives in he realises his fears were wrong and the pack has accepted her and the role she will play. His wolf, Thanatos, brings the alpha possesiveness as well as some light hearted humour.
This is an interesting tale of cross supernaturals and how they unite in a common goal. With love, spice and beyrayal this book will keep you on your toes and gives a teaser for book 2.
I received this as an ARC and am leaving my own review

"Alpha King's Possession" by Moonlight Muse is a thrilling blend of fantasy, romance, and dark adventure that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The story revolves around Morgana Aton, a fierce vampire princess with a burning desire for vengeance against her father's murderer, the ruthless Alpha King Kian Araqiel.

Their intense enemies-to-lovers journey is fraught with undeniable chemistry, tension, and the looming threat of a larger evil. As their forced proximity leads to unexpected desires, the narrative navigates themes of power, allegiance, and sacrifice, making it a captivating read for fans of dark romance. The book's high stakes and complex characters ensure a gripping experience, leaving readers eager for more in this savage world of supernatural intrigue.

Oh how I love a good cross over between vampires and wolf shifters, and then in comes fae and elves- HELL YESS!
This story follows the Alpha King of wolf shifters- Kian who is a typical possessive Alpha who has met his match in Morgana, a vampire Princess and she is traded to him for a peace treaty. Morgana is a strong, fierce, natural Luna who is caring and is happy to get her hands dirty.
There’s treason, betrayal, lies and hidden secrets and an epic battle involving all species. It’s rather fast paced at times, I was on the edge of my seat, or pacing while reading this, got so absorbed in the story. I loved it!!!
On another note- I love when shifters have access to their counterparts and Kian’s wolf- Thanatos is the absolute BEST!!! He is so funny, crude and sexualizes EVERYTHING!!!

It’s a tale as old as time, forbidden love and a fated mate bond, but I love how Moonlight Muse has put her spin on it! With Morgana and Kian each having little experience with the other species, their hate and perceptions are based on rumours and a massive deception that spans kingdoms. Morgana wins Kian’s heart as he sees how she treats his people despite perceptions, and he wins her heart by showing her who he really is. There is a bad@ss strong FMC, there is a possessive overbearing MMC, there is another woman, there is another man, there is action, there is chemistry and spice, there are heart stopping moments and heartbreak, then there is the banter between Kian and his wolf (Thanatos) which is downright hilarious(!), all wrapped up into a fantastical story. You’ve gotta love a Moonlight Muse book, and this one doesn’t disappoint!

Book one of a trilogy and I am already excited to read the next!!!! I could not put this book down it truly kept me on my toes. The anticipation was killing me!!!
Evangeline is a badass vampire warrior who was sold to Kian, the werewolf king. Little does she know, that she is his fated mate. A werewolf and a vampire hmmmmm. Interesting mix but trust me, it works!!!!
Evangeline might not know, but Kian does and this is planned!!! He wants his mate close until he can figure out what to do. Oh these men and their egos. But don’t worry, our female warrior will happily assist in changing that and putting these men in their place.
Did I mention the spice, on the spice was ::chefs kiss:: If only I can say more than that. lol. Did I mention how excited I am for book 2? Oh I can’t wait to continue the journey and to find out what happens next!

As always, Muse has delivered another fantastic supernatural romance novel, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.
Muse has a really good knack for writing her series' and not being repetitive or having you feel like you're reading the same book with the same plots, etc. Wǰjhen you start a new series of hers, it's a totally different read with different energy, different rules, basically an entirely different experience, but with the same depth of creativity and expression. she truly is a very talented and imaginative author.
This is the first book in the Ruthless Kings Trilogy. and it has me ready to dive in to the next one. It was packed fulI of everything a reader of the genre hopes to find when they crack open a book. Werewolves, Vampires, action, and then of course some heat to keep things spicy as well.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

I honestly didn’t expect to get this hooked, but wow—Moonlight Muse knocked it out of the park with The Alpha King’s Possession! From the moment I started reading, I was completely immersed in the world she created. The characters are complex and magnetic, especially the Alpha King—he’s dark, dangerous, and impossible to resist. The chemistry between the main characters is off the charts, and the emotional tension had me flipping pages late into the night.
What I loved most is how the story balances steamy romance with deep emotional layers and a rich plot full of twists. You can feel the stakes rising with every chapter. This isn’t your average paranormal romance—it’s intense, well-written, and seriously addictive.
If you love powerful alphas, strong heroines, and a plot that keeps you guessing, do yourself a favor and start this trilogy. I already can’t wait to dive into book 2!

This book is a delicious and captivating enemies to lovers shifter romance. Moonlight Muse is once again doing a great world building mixed with the tension between the Alpha King Kian and the Vampire Princess Morgana.
What I like about this book is that the author is bringing forward two strong mates. Morgana is a strong and compasionate she-devil, as Kian likes to call her, that is not bowing down to anyone. As strong as the king of alphas is, his mate is staying beside him. As much as Kian is trying to deny the attraction for her, as well as the pull of the mate bond, he is falling for her even harder. There is something about their chemistry that I love.
Kian and Morgana being species enemies, with intrigue both sides, Thanatos, Kian's wolf brings humor to it and to their tension, with all his remarks stating his opinions in Kian's head.
A page turner book!

The thing about books written by Moonlight Muse is that she writes such compelling stories that it is difficult to put down. The only reason it took me several days, to be honest, is because work got in the way, lol!
“The Alpha King’s Possession” is an addictive, fast-paced fantasy romance that sinks its teeth into you from the very first page. Moonlight Muse delivers a richly imagined world of pack politics, dark secrets, and steamy chemistry. The Alpha King Kian is as dangerous as he is magnetic, and Morgana's journey from fear to empowerment is satisfying to watch unfold.
If you love possessive alphas, slow-burning tension, and a touch of mystery, this book will definitely scratch that itch. It’s book one of a trilogy, and trust me—you’ll be clicking “next” before you even realize it.
Highly recommend for fans of supernatural romance and emotionally intense storytelling.

Moonlight Muse once again delivers a high-stakes fantasy laced with fiery chemistry and irresistible tension. Kian and Morgana’s journey is a perfect blend of push-and-pull romance and unexpected twists, keeping you hooked as their destinies collide in the most dramatic ways.
From war and betrayal to forbidden love, this story takes you on an emotional rollercoaster you won’t want to get off. The plot twists? Chef’s kiss—just when you think you know what’s coming, it flips you upside down.
A spellbinding start to what promises to be an unforgettable trilogy. If this first installment is any indication, the rest of the series is going to be just as addictive.
I first read this story when it was being serialized, but getting my hands on the ARC made me fall in love with it all over again.

This book was so good!! I was hooked from the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down. The forbidden love between a vampire and a werewolf made for such an intriguing premise. I loved the banter between Morgana and Kian—it was fun and added a lot to their chemistry. I also appreciated that it took Morgana a while to feel the bond, leaving Kian confused and waiting, which added a nice twist. Thanatos and Kian's conversations were a plus. The plot kept me engaged, and I didn’t see the reveal at the end coming at all—it actually made me want to go back and reread the beginning. My only complaint is that it ended too soon! Still, I’m really excited to dive into the next book in the series!

Muse has once again demonstrated her remarkable skill as a storyteller in this book. The narrative is a dazzling display of unexpected twists, turns, and surprises that keep readers enthralled and eager for more. Just when the story appears to be following a predictable path, Muse cleverly introduces new elements that astonish and intrigue. I found the book impossible to put down, largely due to it's unpredictability, which held my interest and motivated me to continue reading. Love all of the characters and the different POVs. Definitely recommend this book if you like:

FATE HAS OTHER IDEAS
With only one other Moonlight Muse book on my read list, coming back to this author at the start of a new series was an absolute treat. Enemies to lovers with a twist of fate thrown in, makes for an intriguing read. When added with family drama, plots of unrest and backstabbing and the inability of the two main characters to keep their hands to themselves, you are guaranteed an excellent read. I enjoyed the character development with the plot twists and a narrative sure to please any reader who enjoys paranormal themes. They may be enemies, but fate has other ideas.

You have stolen my sleep, and you will pay for it, my Little Blood Rose…
Moonlight Muse has completely won me over with 'The Alpha King's Possession' I devoured every page of this addictive enemies-to-lovers fantasy! This is only my second book by Muse, and I already know I’ll be reading more. From start to finish, I was hooked, hanging on every twist, turn, and sizzling interaction between the leads. And that ending? I'm desperate for book two already!
Morgana, a fierce and kind-hearted vampire princess, is everything you want in a strong heroine, fiery, witty, and absolutely unwilling to back down. Kian, on the other hand, is a ruthless young Alpha King, commanding and cold, the kind of character you love to hate until you inevitably fall for him. Their mate bond throws them together in a way neither of them wants, but fate doesn’t exactly take no for an answer.
What starts as a power struggle between two enemies quickly morphs into a magnetic, tension-filled connection that had me laughing, swooning, and gasping. Their chemistry is undeniable, but what really made this book stand out was the banter — it’s sharp, funny, and so well written. I especially loved the dynamic between Kian and his wolf, Thanatos. The back-and-forth between them added such a unique flavour to the story and had me laughing out loud more than once.
The world-building is rich and layered, with betrayal, hidden secrets, and political intrigue woven throughout. The pacing is intense and I was so invested in what would happen next. It’s fast, it’s emotional, and it keeps you fully immersed from beginning to end.
The Alpha King’s Possession is the perfect mix of fantasy, romance, and suspense. With epic battles, forbidden bonds, and characters that steal your heart, it’s a must-read for fans of spicy fantasy romance and high-stakes drama. I can’t wait to see what unfolds next, book two can’t come soon enough!

each book Muse brings to life just attests to the talent of this amazing author. A Hate to Love romance. Morgana Araton, is a Vampire Princess who is seeking to avenge the death of her father. Kian Araqiel, Alpha King, who takes Morgana prisoner. It comes to light they are fated mate.. Muse, loves a HEA, but never makes the journey an easy path. The dialogue between Kian and his Wolf Thanatos is absolute hilarious and you will love it.. This book has everything a reader of these stories, looks forward to. Would strongly recommend and if the rating scale was higher than 5 stars, I would give it. once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down.
