Drew Family Books in Order

Scarlet Drew grows up knowing that her family name carries weight on the streets of East London. The Drew firm has money, muscle and a reputation for never backing down, and at the centre of it all stands her aunt Lily, the woman other gangsters whisper about.

When tragedy hits close to home, Scarlet stops trying to live on the edges of the life she was born into and steps forward. In Her Revenge she joins Lily at the head of the family business and focuses all her anger on the rival crew that has dared to strike at the Drews. That choice pulls her straight into a world of protection money, brutal reprisals and quiet deals done in back rooms and boxing gyms.

The series follows Scarlet as she learns how to survive in that world without losing the people she cares about. Her cousin Ruby is a constant source of friction – sometimes ally, sometimes rival, always unpredictable – and their clashes give the books as much emotional tension as the shoot-outs. Other family members drift in and out of the firm, bringing secrets, debts and old grudges with them.

Across the books the threats keep changing. One story might centre on a brazen arson attack on a Drew-owned factory; another on disappearances linked to an underground fight club, or an anonymous letter that hints someone inside the firm knows far more about a past death than they should. Police pressure is never far away either, especially once Scarlet’s personal life tangles with a detective who ought to be her enemy.

Lily’s presence runs through everything. She’s older, sharp-eyed and ruthless when she needs to be, but there are cracks under the armour. The series lets you see how grief, divided loyalties and the weight of running an empire wear on her, even as she does whatever it takes to keep the Drew name feared and respected.

Although the Drew novels stand on their own, they share a city and underworld with the Tyler Family books. Mentions of familiar places and faces make it feel like one wider saga, where one firm’s decisions can ripple across London and land on another family’s doorstep.

Expect fast-moving plots, plenty of twists and a strong focus on family – both the people you’re born to and the people you choose. You can dip in almost anywhere, but starting with Her Revenge and following the books in order lets you watch Scarlet’s rise, every bad call and every hard-won victory along the way.
