This year, the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award (BBNYA) is celebrating the 55 books that made it into Round Two with a mini spotlight for each title. For those of you who don’t know, BBNYA is a yearly competition where book bloggers from all over the world read and score books written by indie authors, ending with 15 finalists and one overall winner.
It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of the BBNTA team again in 2022 and I’m thrilled to be part of the spotlight tours to celebrate our fantastic semi-finalists! Today I’m starting things off by spotlighting The Ones Who Could Do Anything by Nicholas J Evans.

About the Book
The first time Eric jumped he didn’t know he could fly.
His world closed in as he stood on that bridge, a stale cigarette between his lips and breath that burned sour notes of yesterday’s coffee. The rushing water below reminded him of the bustling halls of his school, and he let charred memories crumble to embers as his feet left the railing.
Eric had no idea that one leap would introduce him to Dr. Kovacs, and an entirely new world, an entirely new beginning. Now, Eric works with a team as worn and beaten as himself to solve the mystery of the Executioner who hunts them while picking up the pieces of his broken life.
When Eric jumped, he didn’t know he could fly, but he does now.
About the Author

Nicholas J. Evans is an author originally from New York who currently resides in Maine with his wife and four children. He was a co-founding member of the post-hardcore group, NoraStone, where he spent the years of 2011 – 2017 touring with them and he is featured on their first three albums. Following the birth of his first child, he ended his time with the band to focus on new career paths, and during this time he returned to writing short stories as he had in years prior.
He is best known for his sci-fi noir novel series, For Humans, For Demons, and his stand-alone urban fantasy, The Ones Who Could Do Anything, along with a short novella featured in the Beyond The Cogs anthology. When not writing, Nick enjoys spending time with his kids, gaming with his wife, and being a general nuisance.
