Zade Meadows isn’t your typical dark romance hero — he’s a hacker, a stalker, and a savior.

In this episode, I peel back the layers of his obsession to explore the psychology of the savior complex in stalker romance — how control hides behind care, and how obsession masquerades as love.

Why do readers fall for characters like Zade?
Why does danger feel so seductive when it’s cloaked in protection?
And what does this say about the way we interpret love, safety, and power?

Join me as I unpack the haunting allure of Zade Meadows — the man who saves others by destroying himself.
