I'd have to know more about the plot you're intending, but my first thought when you said vampires and werewolves was Twilight, and everyone is so done with vamps and wares. I was only throwing out elementals as a thought. I think something unique would be a breath of fresh air. There are tons of mythological creatures. I'm sure there's one that hasn't had center stage yet. Or, create something completely new. Neil Gaiman used the Sandman and made him unique. Tolkien made hobbits. David Eddings had gods and immortal humans. Raymond Feist had powerful magicians. Robin Hobb had humans that mind-linked with animals. Piers Anthony had humans that wore the mantles of gods. I had humans that carried the powers of creation in crayons they used to create everything from nature, war, fire, wind and water, to the very earth itself.

Just some thoughts.
