I'm Just Confused

Okay, so I'm just so confused right now. And I want your guyses advice on what to do. My book involves vampires and yes they are teenagers at a school. Sounds like Twilight doesn't it. Well I don't want it to sound like Twilight. I want it to be my own (with secret agents and strong, independant women), and I have had some people suggest that I change them to adults, so that they're older and more mature.

And I don't know which to choose. I've been thinking about it and I just can't decide, so I'm holding a poll. If you pick yes or no please tell me why in the comment box. Thank you.

So, are the vampires the secret agent, strong women? Or are they like hunting the vampires? If they are the vampires, then high school would work because they don't really have to be 17ish. they could look 17ish but be older. Edward Cullen is like really old, you know.

YA books are getting edgier and edgier. Yes, there are too many YA vampire novels but guess what? People keep buying them.

Whatever you decide, I do think that you kind of lose your audience when you write about 19-20 year olds. Too old for YA and a little young for adults. Just food for thought. If you go with YA, I would make the characters 17-18.
