Welcome back to Cocktails & Cliterature, where the drinks are strong, the books are filthy, and the vibes are always main character energy.
Today’s guest is none other than Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author and spell-slinger behind Reluctant Witch and Remedial Magic. We’re talking memory-erasing magic, morally gray witches, queer longing, and deliciously dangerous intimacy.
Melissa spills all: from writing orgasm-induced unconsciousness to navigating consent in sapphic romance, her real-life exhibitionist adventures, and the emotional weight of reclaiming power through story. This episode dives into the messy magic of healing, sexual agency, and living fully after trauma.
✨ Bonus: Sip & Strip returns with questions too hot for daytime TV and Melissa does not hold back.
Whether you're here for the spice, the softness, or the smarts, this one’s for you. Grab a drink (or a mocktail) and let’s get into it.
💋 Feeling seen? Feeling spicy? Then do your girl a favor, rate the show, tag us in your smut stack, and tell your group chat that Melissa Marr said “brunch with friends” is fair game.
