Goodreads Synopsis:
Faced with the choice of
being married to a strange spirit or being made into dinner, Aoi
decides to create a third option for herself!
Aoi Tsubaki inherited her grandfather’s ability to see spirits—and his massive debt to them! Now she’s been kidnapped and taken to Kakuriyo, the spirit world, to make good on his bill. Her options: marry the head of the inn her grandfather trashed, or get eaten by ayakashi. But Aoi isn’t the type to let spirits push her around, and she’s determined to redeem her grandfather’s IOU on her own terms!
Aoi wants to work off her debt to the Tenjin-ya inn, but she only has one day to find a position and none of the managers are willing to hire a human! If she can just get someone to see past her family background, Aoi is certain she can prove her worth!

Review:
Aoi's grandfather just passed away, and she's trying to clean up his
affairs, his belongings. Unbeknownst to her, her grandfather made a
deal with a yokai, and thus sealed her as a bride to a yokai inn owner. She's always been able to see yokai, as she bonded with her
grandfather over this, but she hasn't dealt too much with their world.
Now that she's thrown into this yokai inn, she refuses to marry this
yokai, and thus tries to prove her usefulness in other ways to pay
off the debt. But the inn is already being taken care of as it
should, and the other yokai aren't so welcoming to her.
This was definitely a start to a new series. Aoi finds one friend in
the inn, but her betrothed, the ogre, doesn't seem too bad to me.
Aoi's grandfather put her in this position, and didn't seem like a
great guy, but she was still close to him.
I'm feeling optimistic about this series at this point. I don't feel
like I got enough to go on quite yet, as I'm not sure where the
romance is going or even where her place at the inn is going from
here. It could be interesting, though.
