Trying to find a book but I forgot the name!!

[Amy]

Hey everyone, I am trying to find the name of a book which I seem to have forgotten. Unfortunately, I read it in about 2013-2014 while in High School. I got it from the high school library so I am guessing it is in the Young Reader/Teen fiction category (but possibly not)
The plot:
It is about a town where (I think scientists were doing experiments on the town) half of the town blacked out one night and were filled with rage and basically started killing people, and then killed themselves. The book has multiple perspectives from a couple teens after the fact trying to figure out what caused the black outs. I know the main character is female, and she is one of the people who blacked out, but she was taken by some people before she could kill herself. A second character was a football player, whose boyfriend was killed during the black out. At the end the book basically ends with the town trying to rebuild itself after they figure out the cause of the black outs.

Any guesses on the book at all? Does it sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you!

Good Luck, but I think this is a brilliant forum. I read a YA book that blew my mind away, and I could never remember the author's name, except that I thought she was Swedish or foreign, and it was the most imaginative thing I ever read. The color green is all I can remember about that book.

Does Blackout by Madeleine Henry rings a bell to you ? It is apparently part of "The Darkness Trilogy" as the first released book. A big a wall - the Frontier - is cutting America in half. One of the sides is called the Dark Zone. Phoenix Troublefield would be the 16 year-old protagonist, and apparently, there's a a few more ...

Haven't read it, sounds like a Stephen King or something.
