Would you read this

I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I'm still hoping to get some responce.

What I was wondering was, would you read a story about a pyrokinetic teenage girl who meets up with a pair of traveling vampires and the boy who watches over them during the day. Mostly, the story is about her trying to discover who she is and understand what she does.

For the most part it would be an emotional look into what it feels like to be "different" from everyone else.

So, would you read it? If so, tell me why. If not, tell me why and perhaps give me some sort of clue as to how I could improve this developing idea.

Honestly... Probably not. To me it kind of just sounds like a huge cliche with way too many characters. If it was very well written though, maybe I would. Don't take my reply too seriously though since I don't really read that genre.

No, but I don't like vampire stories.

I like vampires. But they've been too done. Unless you can tell me how this story will make your vampires different than the ones I've seen... No.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't read it. Like everybody has said, there have been so many vampire stories that it begins to get tiring to read them. I, personally, love stories about vampires - I see you're trying to make this into a novel different from all cliché's like it. You may be able to pull it off if it were really well written.. post it, and then ask the same question. "How did you feel about this story? If this were a novel, would you read it?" Who knows?

Don't do vampires, though. I mean, something more original. Ever since Twilight came out that's all that has ever been written about (even if you've never even read or heard of Twilight). But don't take my advice if you don't want to. You can write about whatever you want.

Whoa... Sounds busy. Just get rid of the vampire part, then it would sound appealing to me. So far, only one vampire book was good, and that was Twilight. All the rest of the vampire books are sad, cheap, rip-offs. So, no. I wouldn't read it.
