How to find a suitable book title:

Look at published books in your genre and understand the basic principle behind their titles.
Make a list of

the theme, topic, premise etc. of your story
the setting, atmosphere, main emotions
the personalities, weaknesses, drives etc. of your protagonist(s) and antagonist(s)

For each of these brainstorm as many words and short phrases as you can come up with.
Delete everything that has already been used as a book or movie title.
If possible, employ a sample of your target audience and ask them which of the remaining titles would most make them want to read the book.
If not, or if your target audience sample suggests several titles, pick the one your gut reaction tells you is the most fitting.
Submit your manuscript and be disappointed at the title your publisher chooses.
