Originality won't sell a book, it's a nice pretty buzzword **that** helps sell a book. Engaging the reader, crafting a wonderful tale, finding that emotional connection, these are what help sell a book. I would suggest forgetting about writing something original. the Hunger Games is far from original. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Gladiators\_(film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gladiators_(film))And, Vampires and romance have been married before Twilight inception. Urban fantasy has been a thing since the 90s, I think. Sexy, brooding, male vampires are a staple in the genre.
