Klappentext

A teenage girl must compete against her wealthy cousins for the hand of the Prince of Hell in order to win an inheritance and save themselves from being stuck as yokai forever in this young adult romance inspired by Japanese folklore.

A normal girl would've wept over her grandmother's coffin at her funeral, and hugged her family tightly as they mourned. But Sakura Smith is not a normal girl. And this is not a normal family. On the day of her estranged grandmother's death, all of Sakura's family turned into Yokai, creatures from Japanese folklore. Now Sakura not only has to deal with her rich, entitled cousins, but she also has to manage her newly sentient hair and the eternally hungry mouth that has suddenly appeared on the back of her head.

But Grandma Kojima didn't leave them without options. In order to regain their human forms, all they need to do is make sure someone in their family marries Benjiro, the teenage Prince of Hell. And to sweeten the deal, Grandma Kojima added an extra clause: whichever cousin marries Benjiro will receive ALL of her inheritance. Spurred by their greedy parents, Sakura's cousins immediately jump at the chance to get their hands on Grandma Kojima's massive estate.

Sakura knows she needs that money more than any of her wealthy family members, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the altar. But will she be able to keep it together when she starts getting real feelings for the sweet, kind Benjiro?
