Received an ARC from the publisher. ( )

I made a first attempt to get into this book and ended up reading another before coming back to this one. I simply could not get into it and it was a struggle to finish. Maybe if I had read the previous books I would have enjoyed it more, but this is number 7 in a series and I felt like I missed out on the majority of the story.
A group of highly trained professionals go after a killer who is targeting urban explorers, while their own IT guru Orac goes on a personal journey of her own to get answers about her past. I felt like all of the characters were likeable enough and their personalities really shined throughout the entire book.
Where there was plenty of gore and scary moments, it was not what I consider nail biting suspsense throughout the entire book. In fact, it really didn't get all that suspenseful until the end of the book where the killer had a live victim. Will they get there on time? I am not one to ruin endings, so if you are curious, please read this book, but like I said above, it might help to read some of the prior books in this series before starting this one. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )
