I think that would only be a problem with that kind of story--the surprise ending...and of course, it's impossible to write an effective, satisfying vampire story in which the author waits halfway through the story for the "reveal." In fact, that happened in one story I read for YBFH in 2007. I couldn't believe the author did that. Vampire--and ghost stories--have to have more going on that just the surprise ending.
