The preview of Moonstruck (the book in question) is also available through Amazon. Here are the first few hypens I can see:
"There could be no-one there, ..."
"...into a razor-filled muzzle ..."
"... sleep, muscular, brown-furred monster."
"... through her blood-soaked fur."
"... propelled backwards in mid-leap, ..."
"... the red-haired woman ..."
"... a tall, grey-haired man ..."
"mid-thirties"
"mother-in-law"
Not my style of fiction, but most of these don't offend my sense of grammar either. I think "mid-leap" is the only one that slightly jars.
- qznc 12y agoBeginners mistake. These are minus (-) not hyphen (‐) characters. </unicode-jibe>
- adam-f 12y agoBeginner's mistake. "Beginners mistake" can only be used as the start of a sentence as in "Beginners mistake azure for blue."
- sparky_z 12y agoSome beginners mistake "Beginners mistake" as a phrase that can only be used at the start of a sentence. :)

I guess it causes issues with bad screen readers.
