I have discovered a hidden gem of tropes that is basically sentient guard plants. I have now read several books with some sort of plant that talks or stabs, and I love it. Cracks me up every time.
{The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst}

{Violet Thistlewaite is not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz}

{How Not to Charm Your Human Colleague by Laura Winter}

Honorable mention {A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher} (not a romance, and it’s sentient sourdough, but it scratches the violent plant itch, lol)

Do you know of more books with murdery plants?

Or do you have silly tropes (is that even the right word?) that you enjoy?
