Now You're One of Us, by Asa Nonami

Now You're One of Us, by Asa Nonami, 240 pages

Noriko is a young newlywed, who finds herself living with not just her husband, but his siblings, parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother.  Noriko grows uneasy with the closeness and overly-kindness of the family, and her suspicions grow as the stories they tell her don't add up.  Descriptions of this liken it to Rosemary's Baby, which is a fair comparison, but set in Japan and with creepy sexual acts instead of Satanism.  Definitely for adults.
