Meta Smith writes movies.

As any reader of her work can attest, Meta's gift to the literary world is her insistence on a diverse palette of colors. Fans of the hip hop genre will recall the change in the music video scene ushered in by Hype Williams. More colors, more action...a more cinematic approach to shooting music videos. This is what Meta Smith brings to urban literature.

This book however, is decidedly different in tone when compared to her previous works. In one sense, it is a return to the grit that characterized her freshman effort, "The Rolexx Club". Still, she maintains forward progress in this novel...gently walking the line between The Rolexx Club and Queen of Miami in terms of the raw descriptions of her character's sensual exploits. In reading this book, one gets the impression that Meta is finding her own niche and balance between her scholarly leanings as a college educated writer...and the demands of her young but expanding audience. This novel is not as layered as Queen of Miami ... but this time around she explores each layer in more detail.

The story of Heaven Diaz is a street level sound track. Its a head nodding page turner, and if you don't get excited every time you hear ` Check the Rhyme ` by a Tribe Called Qwest , this book isn't for you. It was written with the big screen in mind, and perhaps ( given her association with G Unit Books) , Meta will get an opportunity to showcase this work in full color.

Fans of the genre will love it....and perhaps be persuaded to grow with her as she continues her rise.

Pick up a copy.

I FEEL THAT THIS BOOK WAS ALRIGHT ,I LIKED THE STORY LINE. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE AT THE END THE STORY WAS RUSHED TO BE PUT TOGETHER. I FELL THAT IT WAS A LITTLE DIAPPOINTING THAT HEAVEN WAS SO NAIVE!!!!

Heaven has all of the best material things that money can buy, but all she wants is more of her husband's time. Her world comes crashing down around her when she finds out the truth about where the money for her and her husband's lavish lifestyle is really coming from. To further confuse things, Heaven meets this mysterious new friend that leads her into a violent drug war overnight. Will Heaven make it out alive?

Heaven's Fury is an entertaining novel by Meta Smith. Smith crafted a classic tale of what happens when a woman marries the wrong man. This story gave readers an interesting glimpse into the Latino culture and how different attitudes toward men and relationships can affect every day life. Although this novel was chock full of non-stop drama, Heaven's actions in this story were so shocking that it came off as being rather unbelievable. All in all, Heaven's Fury is still a decent novel that is for anyone that is looking for a quick page-turner.
