Welcome to Gale City (Gale City Charge Book 1) by Jennifer San Fillippo

Beware the ones with glowing eyes! Teo remembers his father’s final warning before being sent to death row two years ago. The strange words didn’t make headlines, but everything else about the case did: Alberto Gonzales the crime boss, the thief, the murderer. Teo has resolved to leave that past behind at all cost—until the night he comes across a man with glowing blue eyes. AJ and her father have come to live in Gale City in response to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a geologist: to study chargers, the mysterious glowing rocks that hold an electric charge, mined exclusively on the Galian Islands. AJ can’t ignore the growing apprehension of coming to the place her mother was murdered two years ago, but she’ll soon find more mysteries than she could’ve asked for. Including the son of her mother’s murderer. Stranger Things meets The Legend of Korra in this dieselpunk series of mystery, suspense, and adventure.
